The exploration of modular teaching pattern for Microbiology Experiment in Peking University

Abstract:

Microbiology is an important branch in life sciences, and contributes greatly the development of the other disciplines such as molecular biology. Microbiology Experiment is reassigned as an elective course for the freshmen in Peking University. In order that the students are able to master the basic techniques in microbiology experiment, to have a satisfactory learning result, after the author consults a lot of microbial experimental textbooks used in national and international comprehensive universities, analyzes the relative experiments seriously in the books, then defines the basic experimental microbial teaching requirements and aims: the students are able to grasp the basic experimental techniques and use the techniques to solve the practical problem. According to the teaching aims in the new teaching system, the author redesigns and enriches the experiments, rearranges the teaching in modular pattern to increase the integrity, consistence, practicability and opening of the course, to raise the interests of the students and to achieve the teaching goal.
