Teaching reform of experimental course of Microbiological Inspection for students majoring in Health Inspection and Quarantine

Abstract:

The major of Health Inspection and Quarantine is one of the strong applications, and it requires a higher level of capability of the health inspection and quarantine professionals to inspect microorganism and properly respond to new and unexpected public health events. Due to conflicts addressed in teaching procedure of microbiological inspection experiments and the feedback from companies, faculties decided to integrate the related microbiological inspection experiment courses, which separate into two independent experimental courses, to meet different requirements and prevent the reduplication and unsystematic problems of experiments. Besides, the teaching contents focus on the comprehensive, design, and innovative experiments, which guides students to build innovative entrepreneurship and graduation thesis design. Also, one of the important mindset we have built for the students is the awareness of biosecurity and specialized laboratory training is offered. In order to meet job requirements and teaching objectives, students are encouraged to do preparation and participate in different experiments. The teaching reform shows that it can improve students’ practical ability and innovation ability, and accumulate students’ interest in learning and scientific research.
