《微生物学》中“微生物物种多样性”的教学内容和教学方式探讨

Discussion on the contents of microbial diversity and teaching methods in Microbiology

摘要:

微生物学是各类高校生命科学学院及医、药、农、林、食品等有关专业本科生的必修专业基础课，地位十分重要。对微生物多样性的研究是各相关领域中的重要研究热点，且不断取得丰硕的研究成果。然而，目前大多数高等教育规划教材《微生物学》缺乏对微生物多样性知识点、研究方法及相关领域研究进展的系统介绍，在一定程度上局限了学生对该知识点的学习和掌握，不利于拓展学习视野。在分析了相关概念、研究方法并对比国内外主流《微生物学》相关教材的基础上，结合教材的专业倾向，我们建议在《微生物学》教材中适当增加微生物多样性知识点内容及该领域研究进展，让学生与时俱进，进一步接轨专业研究前沿。

Abstract:

Microbiology is a very important compulsory fundamental course in life science, medicine, pharmacy, agriculture, forestry, food, etc. for undergraduate teaching. Research in microbial diversity is becoming research hotspots in various fields and continues to achieve fruitful research results in recent years. However, majority of Microbiology textbooks for higher education lack the contents in research methods of microbial diversity and research progress in related field. These conditions limit students’ learning and mastery of knowledge and not feasible to expanding their horizons of learning. Here, based on comparative analysis of these knowledge contents of microbial diversity in the mainstream of Microbiology textbook used in China and abroad, we suggest to add them into the textbooks, which will help students to better understand the research progress.
