环境微生物学课程内容体系和理论教学模式的探索与实践

Exploration and practice of content system and teaching pattern for Environmental Microbiology

环境微生物学是专业基础课,它是开启环境类专业科学大门的一把钥匙,也是破解环境类专业工程难题的一件利器。结合国家精品/资源共享课和学校专业核心课建设,课程组对环境微生物学的课程理论教学模式进行了积极的改革探索,构建了以解答微生物"是什么"、"有何用"和"怎么用"为主线的课程内容体系,提出了以"学生兼课"、"课堂讨论"、"专题讲座"、"课程论文"和"综合评价"为标志的课程理论教学模式。经过实践,成效显著。

Environmental Microbiology, one of the basic professional courses, is helpful to figure out environmental issues and to remove engineering roadblocks. Environmental Microbiology was endowed with the support of the national excellent courses and the professional core courses in Zhejiang University. In the course construction process, a new content system was established targeting pursuing the answers of ＂what are microorganisms＂, ＂what can microorganisms do＂ and ＂how to use microorganisms＂. A new teaching pattern was proposed, including students lecture, special subject lecture, topic discussion, thesis course and comprehensive assessment. The practice of the new content system and teaching pattem resulted in a good reward, demonstrating the feasibility for the course.
