“微生物学前沿”新课程体系的构建

Construction of the new course content system of Frontiers in Microbiology

摘要:

作为一门与人类关系极为密切且正在迅速发展的学科，微生物学在生命科学领域具有举足轻重的地位。鉴于微生物学系列课程在教学过程中存在的一些共性问题，我校计划面向3个国家一流本科专业(生物科学、生物技术与生物工程专业)的高年级本科生开设“微生物学前沿”新课程，作为对重要基础理论课程——首批国家一流本科课程“微生物学”的补充与提升。本课程以微生物学的发展前沿、研究热点为授课内容，进一步拓展学生的微生物学知识和眼界，培养学生的科学精神，训练学生的科学思维方法，并增强学生解决复杂问题的能力。本课程的开设将为创新型微生物学专业人才培养起到重要的支撑作用。

Abstract:

Microbiology, as a booming discipline closely related to human beings, is of great importance in the field of life sciences. In view of some common problems in the teaching of microbiology series courses, our university plans to offer a new course named Frontiers in Microbiology to senior undergraduates in three national first-class undergraduate majors (Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Bioengineering). It will be an complement and upgrade of the basic theoretical course Microbiology, which is one of the first batch National First-Class Undergraduate Courses. This new course is designed to address the frontiers and hot topics in microbiology, to expand students' theoretical knowledge and vision of microbiology, and to improve students' scientific spirit, scientific thinking, and ability in solving complex problems. In this way, this course will make an important supporting role for the cultivation of innovative professionals in microbiology.
