Abstract:In the paper, “semi-self-help” teaching model was put forward. Proposition background, basic meaning, and the idea of the teaching model were introduced. Concrete implementing scheme and evaluation form were suggested. An example of applying in biotechnology was explained. Four steps were put forward to state the application of “semi-self-help” teaching model in biotechnology. That is, how to introduce the system’s content of the course by arranging engineering practice papers, how to organize the learning of basic knowledge, how to apply basic knowledge in specific production, and how to design the technology process of specific bioengineering products. The effect of “semi-self-help” teaching model was evaluated. The paper provides a new teaching model to improve students’ engineering practice ability.
