“基因分子生物学实验”选课学生回顾调查和课程建设的思考

Survey on the current situation of postgraduates and thoughts on curriculum construction of the course“Experiments of Molecular Biology”

目的通过对往年选课学生进行调查,了解同学们对课程的共性需求和对学生科研工作的帮助,为课程的改进和思政建设提供参考。方法以北京协和医学院2018年秋季至2024年春季6个学年24个班级选修“基因分子生物学实验”课程的704名研究生为对象,进行课前问卷调查和课后回访,收回调查问卷后汇总统计并分析。结果本课程历年选课学生以科研型研究生为主,前期专业背景以临床医学为多,并且在前期学习阶段相对缺乏分子生物学理论知识的系统学习和实验技术的训练。回访调查显示课程中实验操作及实验结果分析,是对学生最有帮助的两个方面;PCR、RNA的提取和检测、Western Blot等内容是对学生科研工作最有用的技术。结论通过问卷调查,能够了解学生的专业背景,掌握学生对选课需求的动态变化,给授课教师很好的参考,以调整授课内容和难易程度,并为课程改革和思政建设提供依据。

Objective To conduct a survey on students for their common needs for the course and the support to their research training,to provide reference for course reform and curriculum of ideology and politics.Methods A survey before and after course was conducted in 704 graduates who selected the course of“Experiments of Molecular Biology”from the autumn of 2018 to the spring of 2024.After collecting the survey,they were summarized,counted,and analyzed.Results The students selected this course were mainly research-oriented graduate students.Their professional background was mainly in clinical medicine,and there was a relatively lack of training in technology and laboratory skill in molecular biology experiment.The follow-up survey showed that experimental operation and implementation as well as analysis of experimental results were the two most helpful aspects for students;PCR,RNA extraction and detection,and Western blot were the most useful techniques for student learning and scientific research.Conclusions Through the survey,the professional background of students,dynamic changes in their course selection needs are well acknowledged and so thus able to optimize,provide good reference for teaching and learning in this field,and provide a basis for curriculum reform and construction of ideological and political courses.
