“对分课堂”教学模式在微生物学教学中的应用

"对分课堂"是国内学者新近提出的一种教学模式,作者在生命科学专业基础课程"微生物学"的教学实践中,初步应用了这种模式,力求将传统课堂教学的优点与讨论式课堂的优点有机结合,在激发学生学习积极性和自主性的基础上,增加师生互动、生生互动,培养学生的批判性思维,促进其个性发展,通过拓展教学时空、增强教学吸引力,更好满足以质量提升为核心的内涵式发展要求。

Application of Presentation-Assimilation-Discussion (PAD) class in microbiology teaching

PAD (presentation-Assimilation-Discussion) class is a new teaching model which combines the advantages of lecture and discussion. In this paper, we explored the application of PAD class in Microbiology teaching. This new method encouraged students' active learning and produced good learning effects. Moreover, it increased both student-student interaction and teacher-student interaction in and out of classroom, promoted critical thinking, expanded teaching time and space. All these made our teaching being more attractive to students. PAD class is good for strengthening the connotation-oriented development of higher education which focus on the improvement of teaching and leaning quality.
