Exploration and practice of "post-course-competition- certificate" integration in the teaching reform of Food Microbiological Examination Technology

Abstract:

The "post-course-competition-certificate" integration is a teaching reform model that integrates post, competition, and professional certificate into the course. Following this idea, we comprehensively implemented the teaching reform of Food Microbiological Examination Technology by setting the course based on post, improving the course by competition, and integrating course resources according to certificate. Specifically, considering the competence and responsibilities of posts needed by enterprises, we carried out modular and project-based teaching. Taking the skill competition and the innovation and entrepreneurship competition as carriers, we incorporated competition into teaching to trigger the endogenous motivation of students' growth and improve students' skills and comprehensive quality. According to the "1+X" certificate system, we connected the course standards with skill certificate standards and optimized the teaching resources. The nearly three years of teaching practice proved that the teaching reform of Food Microbiological Examination Technology based on "post-course-competition-certificate" integration can effectively improve students' vocational competitiveness, meet the needs of enterprises and society for talents, and provide reference for the reform of food-related courses in vocational education.
