在课程教学中引入社会热点问题的讨论——以转基因作物安全性教学讨论为例

Introduction of Social Hot-Topic Discussion during Curriculum Education——taking the safety of genetically modified plants as an example

课程教学是大学教育的核心。为了提高学生的学习主动性,尝试将转基因作物安全性等社会热点问题引入微生物学教学中。通过布置任务、查阅资料、展示要点、开展讨论、概括总结等程序,对热点问题进行详细的剖析。通过讨论,不仅增进了学生对社会热点问题的认识和相关微生物学知识的理解,而且提高了学生的自学能力、组织能力、表达能力、思辨能力和团队协作能力。本文总结了转基因作物安全性教学讨论课的成果。

Curriculum teaching is a core in university education. To improve the learning initiative of the students, an introduction of discussion on social hot topics, such as the safety of genetically modified crops into microbiology teaching was attempted. By assigning homework, consulting references, taking presentation, developing discussion, and summarizing the topic, the seminar was carried out. The seminar is of great benefit for students to understand the hot topics clearly and to master the microbiological knowledge widely, and is good to improve their self-learning abilities, organizing abilities, oral expressing abilities, thinking abilities and team collaboration abilities as well. The outcome of the teaching discussion on the safety of genetically modified plants was summarized in this paper.
