This exploration also roles as a strong boost for quality education in colleges and universities.

Abstract:With the increase of social need to the intellectual quality, it has become a basic requirement of school teaching: to explore the new teaching pattern, pay attention to the student ability training, and improve the talent training quality. Scaffolding teaching means that teachers provide a conceptual framework which is based on students’ existing knowledge to help students understanding new knowledge, just like a process of building a ladder, ensuring that students’ existing knowledge becomes the key for them to construct a new knowledge system. Scaffolding teaching emphasizes students’ learning initiative and pays attention to students’ ability cultivation. In the simulated environment created by teachers, students complete knowledge construction by means of active exploration and cooperative learning to improve their comprehensive ability. In this paper, the authors explored the teaching practice of scaffolding in exploratory learning through the process of scaffolding construction, situation creation, independent exploration, cooperative learning and effect evaluation.

Abstract:Metabolic Engineering is a core course for undergraduate and graduate students major in Bioengineering. Whether it is “intelligent manufacturing” for emerging industries or the upgrade of traditional fermentation industry, this course can reflect the characteristics of the Emerging Engineering. Metabolic Engineering is more focused on cultivating students’ ability to comprehensively use professional knowledges to solve practical problems, that is, to rationally design metabolic pathways and regulatory networks to achieve the “bio-intelligent manufacturing” of the target products. Based on the comprehensive, time-effective, and applied characteristics of Metabolic Engineering, we have clearly defined the course goals, focused on classic content, followed the discipline development, highlighted practical application, and emphasized teacher-student interaction to continuously optimize the teaching system and teaching content. In this course, we also put forward a variety of teaching ideas such as “laying stress on the succession of teaching contents”, “inspiring students’ thinking through typical cases”, “displaying cutting-edge developments of the discipline”, and “summarizing the important teaching contents”. In the teaching process, this course has effectively stimulated students’ interests in learning, enhanced their learning effects, and layed a solid foundation for the cultivation of high-level Emerging Engineering innovative talents.

Abstract:In the first-class undergraduate talent training, the “golden class” are strictly required to be built around the standard, namely high-level, innovative and challenge. On basis of the Microbial Physiology course, the national microbiology teaching team of Nankai University reorganized the teaching content and produced the online course Microbial Physiology. The course team also used online course to carry out a flipped classroom and online- offline teaching. We add difficulty to the course content, and students need more time to study and think after class; the course content also adds frontier and timeliness; the teaching form fully reflects the advanced teaching mode through IT-assisted teaching tools. Teachers strictly control all aspects of classroom teaching, using the new techniques and methods such as Rain classroom, Blue ink, and Wisdom tree to assist teaching, including students’ attendance, class activation, quizzes, effective evaluation, summarize and other teaching activities; through interactive and inquiry-based teaching, we organize students to conduct high-quality discussions in classroom, and cultivate students’ ability to actively learn, think and express; adopt diversified homework design system and course assessment methods to develop students’ ability to think independently and apply what they have learned. Microbial Physiology has been successfully launched on the Chinese University MOOC platform. Through the construction and application of the Microbial Physiology online course, it was successfully transformed from the “knowledge transfer type” course to the “capacity training type” course.

Abstract:An appropriate evaluation mode would be an important guarantee to build what we call “A golden course” and to fully achieve the teaching objectives. We are trying to explore the proper assessment and evaluation criteria for Medical Microbiology and Parasitology Experiment course to make our teaching in a better efficiency. The research subjects included the five-year program undergraduates of medical education in Grade 2015, who were assessed by the summative assessment mode, and the five-year program undergraduates of medical education in Grade 2017, who were assessed by the comprehensive assessment mode, combining formative assessment with summative assessment. Based on the final scores and the questionnaire survey analysis, the average score of final practical exam of Grade 2017 was 87.7±9.35 and that of Grade 2015 was 82.0±9.05. The average score of Grade 2017 was higher than that of Grade 2015 with significant difference (P<0.01). Furthermore, the students’ satisfaction degree increased from 86.9% (summative assessment mode) to 98.0% (comprehensive assessment mode). In conclusion, compare to sole application of summative assessment mode in the students assessment, the invite-in of comprehensive assessment mode in our Medical Microbiology and Parasitology Experiment course has been proved to be able to improve students’ enthusiasm to active learning and to be helpful with elevating the teaching quality.

Abstract:In the current era of globalization, it is very important to promote English teaching for international cooperation and communication. However, how to avoid the English teaching becoming formalistic is a serious question. It is worth exploring to efficiently integrate English communication with knowledge impartment, so that the English teaching can really achieve the goals of building up a system of microbial knowledge, enhancing students’ interests, inspiring scientific thinking and knowledge application. Over the past few years, we adopted a gradual way to transit from a bilingual teaching of Microbiology to the whole English teaching of Microbiology genetics. The teaching contents are structured in ways that are from superficial to deep, from general to specific. Meanwhile, we devoted the teaching to the combination of basic knowledge and experimental technology. A various forms of teaching such as class test, after-school homework and class analysis and discussion have been involved to improve the teaching quality. After several years of continuous exploration and practice, English teaching has mobilized students’ active participation and learning, enabling students to exercise their ability to learn, explore, solve problems and communicate in English. The stimulation of students’ learning interest and enthusiasm demonstrated the effectiveness of the English teaching.

Abstract:Course construction is the key point to solve the current teaching problems. Moreover, course design is the most important part of course construction, which determines whether a curriculum can achieve the educational goal. This teaching reform was based on the learning-centered teaching philosophy and the principle of “constructive alignment”. We redesigned learning goals, learning activities and learning assessments according to the framework of “Integrated Course Design” named by Dee Fink. Especially, we designed learning goals which not only cover foundational knowledge, application, integration, but also emphasize human dimension, caring and learning how to learn. We organized teaching by “Presentation-Assimilation-Discussion”. One year after the end of the course, the questionnaire survey results showed that students’ recognition of achieving learning goals ranged from 64% to 87%. This shows that the “learning-centered” course design to a certain extent has achieved the desired results, it is worth exploring further.

Abstract:Microorganisms play an increasingly important role in the tea industry, including in the growth and reproduction of tea trees, disease and insect pest control, fertilizer management, tea processing and storage, and the development of health food products. In fact, an entire discipline, tea microbiology, has recently been established. At present, the college microbiology courses available for those majoring in tea-related subjects have several practical problems, such as having content that is too general and of little relevance to the majors. With the Tea major in the Tea College of Guizhou University as an example, this paper explores the reforms to the Tea Microbiology course required to increase its relevance to the tea industry. The proposed course curriculum involves an introduction to basic microbiology and the specific role of microorganisms in tea production, and sets the theme of teaching content. We introduce the project design and highlight the importance of professional teaching practice and content, the use of a flexible learning style, comprehensive teaching ability appraisal to improve the quality of the course, increasing the students’ interest in learning, and strengthening students’ basic theory and professional skills.

Abstract:Food Microbiology is a fundamentally important course for students who major in Food Quality and Safety, and is also essential for further learning of the advanced course of Food Microbiology Testing. Previously the two course were treated independently in traditional teaching design. Later we found that there are many repeated and related contents in theory and experimental teaching of the two courses, which results in the ineffective link between the learning and teaching. In this study, theory teaching contents of Food Microbiology and Food Microbiology Testing were effectively docked by breaking the teaching structure of the two courses. Meanwhile, the experimental teaching contents of the two courses were inlayed into a series of combined experiments. After three years’ teaching practice, the cross-course docking and inlaying-model was effectively constructed. The model improves not only the teaching efficiency, the students’ professional capacity and overall qualities, but also provides a good reference sample for course reforming.

Abstract:Curriculum ideological and political education is a new teaching concept popularized widely in colleges and universities in China in recent years. Its core idea is to integrate ideological and political education into the teaching of various courses. University courses can be divided into ideological and political courses, general education courses, philosophy and social science courses, and natural science courses. Among them, natural science courses have the loosest relationship with ideological and political education, and thus the integration of ideological and political elements is the most difficult. In this study, based on the practice of integrating ideological and political education into the teaching of Microbiology courses, we analyzed the necessity and difficulties of implementing curriculum ideological and political education in natural science curriculum, explore the path of mining ideological and political resources, evaluated the teaching effectiveness through the investigation and research, and performed teaching reflection on the practice of curriculum education. In addition, we also discussed the differences of views on curriculum ideological and political education among teachers of specialized courses. This study aims to provide theoretical support, empirical data and teaching experience for Microbiology related courses to implement curriculum ideological and political education, and also serve as a reference for other natural science courses.

Abstract:The cultivation of undergraduate innovation ability is an important content of the cultivation of undergraduate talents in the “double first-class” construction. Synthetic biology is a new field of cross-disciplinary biology, which is praised as one of the ten new technology fields that can change the world. It is an important content of synthetic biology to construct high version classis microbial cells and to use chassis cells to synthesize cell factories. With the goal of cultivating innovative undergraduates, we integrate synthetic biology chassis microbial cell technology into the talent cultivation process. By organizing students to participate in International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition, to preside over Undergraduate Innovation and Entrepreneurship projects and to complete undergraduate graduation design projects, the students’ ability of linking theory with practice and innovation ability is improved. Moreover, as chassis microbial cell is a kind of cell whose genome has been simplified or optimized or its gene pathway has been changed, its application also brings certain biosafety risks. We standardize biosafety of chassis microbial cells by a serial of measures including bringing safety education into the training syllabus and teaching plan, publishing professional textbooks related with laboratory safety and operation procedures, developing virtual simulation experiment projects, setting up the lab access system and the information management system, and carrying out biosafety education on chassis microbial cells from purchase, management, standardized use and waste disposal. These practices provide a powerful way and effective guarantee for cultivating innovative undergraduates, and also provide support for the development of synthetic biology and cultivate new forces.

Abstract:To improve the teaching efficacy of plant pathogenic fungi unit in course of Plant Pathology, the connotation, evolutionary history of Fungi and True fungi, and the content arrangement in different textbooks compiled by different authors were systemically and logically reorganized in this paper. Our opinion from the analysis is proposed that suitable textbook and in-class teaching methods should be selected and organized specifically according to the different audients, teaching plan and teaching objectives. In other words, the lectures for the major of plant protection in an agricultural university should be systemically designed upon pre-requested course of Biological Taxonomy for a clear awareness to the concepts of Fungi and True fungi. For the other majors such as the major of plant production, better explanation of the concepts in class should be better and enough. Specific teaching design and strategy will improve the teaching effect greatly and meet the requirements from different majors.

Abstract:In teaching of Microbiology course, it is an important way to cultivate students’ abilities for independent thinking and systematic learning. As the first part of Microbiology course, “introduction” should help students to cultivate the ability of independent thinking and establish the overall framework. The “introduction” focuses on the development history of microbiology and the five commonalities of microorganisms. In the process of teaching the development history of microbiology, we will take Pasteur’s flask experiment as the starting point, let students learn to think same question from different levels. By students’ group discussion after the teaching of the development history of microbiology, let the students realize the importance of scientific development law and independent thinking. The five commonalities of microorganisms are determined by the “micro”, the characteristics of microorganisms, and there is a rigorous logical relationship between the five commonalities. The five commonalities of microorganisms are the core of the characteristics of all aspects of microorganisms, and are consistent with the order and contents of each chapter in the “Essential microbiology” compiled by Deqing Zhou, and that will help students to establish an overall framework, and easy to put the knowledge points of subsequent learning into the framework and learn microbiology more systematically.

Abstract:Microbiology is an important basic course of life sciences, which is closely connected with everyday life. In view of the complexity, abstraction and dryness of this course, how to guide students to study independently and cultivate their thinking and innovation ability is a problem that every teacher should think about and solve. Based on the above problems, this study puts forward project-based teaching mode of Microbiology and analyzes its importance. Compared with the traditional teaching mode, project-based teaching mode can better improve the attendance rate and students’ academic performance and most students are satisfied with this teaching mode. Project-based teaching method can not only effectively improve the ability of students in applying theoretical knowledge of microbiology to solve real life problems, but also enhance their interest and initiative in learning.

Abstract:突如其来的新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情使得网上在线教学成为这段时间的唯一教学方式。这一方面给高校的广大师生提出了新的挑战，但同时也给近年来一直进行的高等教育开放式教育教学改革发展潮流按下了加速键。《微生物学通报》以“第十七届全国微生物学教学和科研及成果产业化研讨会”大会为契机邀稿组织出版的这期“高等院校教学主题刊”，很好地反映了近年来在开放式教育形势下我国微生物学教学改革与人才培养的最新进展和发展态势，其中也有论文介绍了疫情期间选择和使用线上教学技术的经验。期望该主题刊的出版有助于进一步促进广大微生物学教师强化互联网意识，打造“互联网+”思维，重塑课堂教学形态，通过广大教师间的教改经验交流和合作，进一步促进我国微生物学课程建设水平与教学质量的全面提升。
