Teaching reform of Molecular Biology course based on the cultivation of scientific research quality

Abstract:

As a rapidly developing front line subject and an experimental subject with strong continuity, Molecular Biology plays very important roles in constructing the knowledge system of postgraduate, cultivating their scientific research accomplishment, innovative thinking and engineering practical ability. In order to meet the demand of talent cultivation system of new engineering, based on the outcome-based education (OBE) concept, we integrated the teaching contents, changed the teaching methods and established an “interactive” teaching model through the use of problem-based learning (PBL) teaching method, flipping classroom, discussion and other teaching methods with the help of modern information teaching platform and learning groups as units. Finally, we used a diversified assessment system combining process assessment and final assessment to evaluate the learning acquisition of students. The results of survey filled by the postgraduate and follow-up survey of their scientific research achievements showed that this exploration has achieved the desired objectives and laid a foundation for the cultivation of research-oriented comprehensive innovative talents in the field of bioengineering under the engineering background.
