关于农林院校生物统计学教学改革突破口的思考

Thoughts on the Breakthrough of Biostatistics Teaching Reform in Agricultural and Forestry Colleges

生物统计学是农林院校本科生必修的一门专业基础课,具有较强的理论性和实践性。当前,这门课教学中遇到以下问题:教材中数学公式复杂和概念定理繁多;教师教学中机械地灌输理论知识,课本知识内容陈旧;对学生考核方式老套,缺少对实践技能的考察。因此,改革以存在问题为突破口,需要更加注重选用优秀的教材,改进教学方法,引入“启发式”教学手段,注重实践操作,在考核方式上加重对动手能力的考察。

Biostatistics is a compulsory basic course for undergraduates in agricultural and forestry colleges, which has strong theoretical and practical significance. At present, the teaching of this course encounters the following problems: complex mathematical formulas and numerous conceptual theorems in textbooks;mechanically instilling theoretical knowledge in teaching, obsolete textbook knowledge content;old-fashioned assessment methods, lack of inspection of practical skills. Therefore, in order to break through the existing problems, we need to pay more attention to selecting excellent textbooks, improving teaching methods, introducing “heuristic” teaching methods, focusing on practical operation, and increasing the inspection of practical ability in assessment methods.
