与微生物学密切相关的两门公共选修课教学改革初探

Teaching exploration of two open optional courses closely related to Microbiology

摘要:

公共选修课程是人才培养方案的重要组成部分。“微生物资源开发与利用”与“土壤生物学”是与微生物学密切相关的两门公共选修课，全校不同年级的本科生都可选修。经过五年多来对课堂教学的不断改进，形成了一套相对完善的课堂教学和考核方法。首先设置了学生试听课，并详细介绍该门课程的主要学习内容、授课方式和考核方式等，让学生根据自己的兴趣和意愿决定是否选修，保证选修学生对该课程有一定的兴趣；其次是改进教师授课方式，老师系统讲授大部分内容，讲授主要采取互动式教学，部分内容采用先放视频，一些需要掌握的知识点，设置问答题、选择题或者改错题请学生们在课堂上讨论和总结，然后再回顾重点视频内容，小部分的课程内容鼓励学生进行ppt演讲；第三，改进课程考核方式和成绩考评机制，制定并优化了PPT演讲评分规则，鼓励学生阅读翻译高水平专业英文文献。五年多的教学实践表明，这些教学改革有效提升了公选课的教学质量。

Abstract:

The open optional course is an important part of the personnel training program. Development and Utilization of Microbial Resources and Soil Biology are two open optional courses which are closely related to Microbiology. With the continuous effort to improve the classroom teaching for more than five years, we have formed a set of relatively complete teaching and examination methodology. First, the students can decide whether to choose the course according to their interests and needs by auditioning. Second, most of the course is instructed by teachers systematically by using interactive teaching method, and a part of the course is taught by displaying videos and class discussion. Third, the assessing method and grading standard of presentation would be adjusted and optimized. Moreover, encourage students to read and translate the high-level English literature. Finally, our five-year teaching practice showed that these teaching reformations have effectively improved the teaching quality of open optional courses.
