A blended teaching model focusing on integration of innovation and entrepreneurship based on flipped classroom:a case study of Aquatic Microbiology

Abstract:

Aquatic Microbiology is a branch discipline which has been developed gradually through the long-term combination of aquaculture and microbiology, and it is closely linked with aquacultural practice. In view of the current difficulties in the learning and teaching, we developed a blended teaching model focusing on the integration of innovation and entrepreneurship based on the clipped classroom. This model embodied the requirements of being advanced, innovative, and challenging. Specifically, the teaching content and design are advanced; the group presentation of research frontiers is innovative; the group experiments of independent exploration are challenging. The teaching reform significantly improved the enthusiasm, initiative, and participation of students, fostered the innovative thinking ability and independent innovation consciousness, and stimulated the inspiration and motivation for scientific research. This article summarizes the measures and experience in the teaching reform, aiming to provide a basis for the teaching reform of other related courses.
