战“疫”时期“病毒生物学”课程的教学调整与思考

Thinking and teaching adjustment of Virus Biology upon fighting against COVID-19

摘要:

2020年春天，全球进入对抗新型冠状病毒(Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2，SARS-CoV-2)感染引起的“新冠”肺炎(Coronavirus Disease，COVID-19)疫情的斗争中。为了适应全民抗“疫”的新形势，引导学生理性地、科学地认识此次病毒疫情，“病毒生物学”课程的教学从内容到形式也进行了同步设计与微调。除了将教学模式由线下教学变成线上直播，本课程结合疫情发展情况在学期初进行COVID-19的专题讲座，以及通过“COVID-19-5 min”形式每次上课进行疫情周报解读，分析国内外疫情并传授病毒流行病学相关知识。另外，对“病毒生物学”的教学计划和教学内容做了适当微调，更多关注病毒性传染疾病发展和相关科学研究的进展。通过对在线教学从教学模式、教学过程和教学内容的设计和调整，强化教学效果的反馈和改善，引导学生不信谣、不传谣，帮助学生加强对新型冠状病毒(SARS-CoV-2)及疫情的科学认识。通过教学内容和教学形式的调整以及病毒疫情相关知识点的强化，激发了生物学专业学生对病毒学、流行病学及公共卫生健康等问题的关注。

Abstract:

COVID-19 is threatening the public health in China and oversea in the spring of 2020. During fighting against COVID-19, course teaching of Virus Biology for bachelor students in the school of life sciences has been adjusted to the new situation in the following aspects, aiming to help students establish scientific and rational viewpoints on the pandemic situation: Besides applying online teaching mode instead of offline mode, teaching contents on virology, epidemiology and public health were strengthened further. Besides the special speech on COVID-19 in the beginning of the new semester, a 5-min talk on COVID-19 has been presented for whole semester. These measurements during teaching of Virus Biology helped students understand scientifically and rationally this pandemic caused by virus infection and spreading. These teaching adjustments were necessary to inspire more interest in virology amongst students, epidemiology and public health, and will be improved with the change of this epidemic situation in China and oversea.
