高校课程教学中本科生助教作用的探讨--以生物化学课程为例

Explorations of the roles of teaching assistant in Biochemistry teaching in universities

助教制度自实施以来,已成为国内外高等教育机构尤其是研究型大学的教学特色,有效地促进了教学改革,提高了教学质量。但是,在研究生助教基础上,能否进一步建设本科生助教制度值得尝试和探讨。目前,本科生助教制度的实施鲜有报道。本文作者在生物化学课程的教学改革中,以“本科生担任助教在提高生物化学教学质量和学生学习效果中的作用”为研究内容,开展了多年的实践研究。作者结合多年来的教学改革实践经验,分析了高校助教制度的实施现状,总结了本科生担任助教在提高课堂教学质量和学生学习效果中的贡献。作者针对助教制度目前存在的问题进行剖析和反思,以期与广大教师及教学管理人员共同交流和分享,进一步完善本科生助教制度,充分发挥助教的作用,提高育人效果。

Since its implementation,the teaching assistant system has become a teaching feature in higher education institutions,especially in research universities home and abroad.The teaching assistant system has effectively promoted the teaching reform and improved the teaching quality.However,it is worthy to further explore hiring undergraduate as teaching assistant on the basis of graduate teaching assistant system.At present,the implementation of undergraduate teaching assistant system is rarely reported.In the teaching reform in Biochemistry course,we have carried out practical study for many years on the role of undergraduate teaching assistant in improving Biochemistry teaching quality and student learning.Based on our practical experience in teaching reform over the years,this paper analyzed the status of teaching assistant system in colleges and universities,and summarized the contributions of undergraduate teaching assistant.At the same time,we analyzed the problems existing in the teaching assistant institution to share and communicate with fellow teachers and teaching administrators,so as to fully explore the role of undergraduate as teaching assistant and improve the effect the education.
