Abstract

To improve the research atmosphere in genetics experimental teaching and develop students' creativity in research, we carried out a reform in comprehensive experimental teaching which is one of important modules for genetics practice. In our new student-centered teaching mode, they chose research topics, performed experiments and took innovative approaches independently. With the open laboratory and technical platform in our experimental teaching center, students finished their experiments and were required to write a mini-research article. Comprehensive experimental teaching is a scientific research practice before they complete their thesis. Through this teaching practice, students' research skills in experimental design and operation, data analysis and results presentation, as well as their collaboration spirit and innovation consciousness are strengthened.

综合性实验是遗传学实验教学的重要模块之一。为了提高遗传学实验课的研究氛围,全面培养学生的科研创新能力,本课程组开展了遗传学综合性实验的教学改革:在教学中以学生为主导,采用学生自主选题、自主实验、自主创新的“三自”教学模式,学生利用我院实验教学中心开放的实验室和技术平台完成实验研究,并撰写小论文。综合性实验的教学是学生在完成毕业论文前的一次科研演习,通过这项实验,学生在实验设计与操作、实验数据分析、结果报告等与科研密切相关的综合实验能力得到了加强,全面提升了学生的团队协作精神和自主创新意识。.
