Abstract:The current teaching of Environmental Engineering Microbiology face challenges such as fragmented knowledge, disconnection between theory and practice, rapid disciplinary updates, and superficial ideological and political education. This study develops the DISCK teaching method, which integrates five pedagogical strategies: discussion teaching, information share, study report, case-based teaching, and knowledge card. Knowledge delivery, skill cultivation, and value shaping are integrated by restructuring teaching contents, redesigning classroom activities, deepening ideological and political education, and optimizing assessment systems. This teaching method has significantly enhanced teaching effectiveness. The proportion of students scoring above 80 points increased markedly, while the failure rate dropped significantly. The questionnaire survey indicated that over 90% students expressed satisfaction with the teaching approach. Moreover, students exhibited enhanced abilities in solving complex problems, teamwork, and innovative practice. This study provides a replicable model for reforming environmental engineering courses and offers valuable insights for cultivating applied engineering talents.
