On Critical Thinking Skill Cultivation in EFL Teaching

Critical thinking has been recognized internationally as an essential skill for high-quality talents.This article analyzes what the experimental researches on cultivating critical thinking skills in EFL teaching have achieved and identifies the three weaknesses to be addressed in the future.Firstly,there are divergences among scholars on the concept and subskills of critical thinking.Secondly,the teaching modes and methods explored by the experimental researches are more personalized than systematic,which reduces their application and guidance value.Thirdly,the reliability and validity of the experiments need to be improved,and the cultivation practices tend to improve the critical thinking skills of some students,without considering the differences among students,especially the students with relatively poor language proficiency.

Application of Intravenous Indwelling Needle in Undergraduate's Pharmacology Teaching Experiment

In this study,an intravenous indwelling needle was placed in the central artery of rabbit ear for collecting blood.The results show that this method greatly improves the success rate of blood sampling and well controls the experimental time.The students'unanimous feedback was that the method is simple and easy to operate,which is of great help to the stability of the experimental results.

Survey and Analysis on Present Situation of Biological Experiment Teaching in Some Middle Schools in Yangjiang Area

Experimental teaching is an important part of biology teaching in middle school.In the form of questionnaire,this paper conducts a survey on some leading teachers of biology in the middle schools in the Yangjiang area about the biological experiment teaching in the implementation of the new curriculum,and analyzes the results of the survey.The problems and deficiencies in the implementation of biological experiment teaching in some middle schools in this area are found,and the relevant reform measures and suggestions are put forward in order to promote the better development of biological experiment teaching in middle schools.

Reform of Paleontology Experiment Teaching for Geology Majors

Due to the development of science and technology and the transformation of society’s demand for talents of geology majors,many changes have taken place in the arrangement of teaching hours and teaching content of paleontology experiment teaching.The paleontology experiment teaching of geology majors has problems such as unreasonable experiment design,no independent experiment arrangement,single teaching method,absence of experiment contents,etc.the article believes that the reform should be made in the following aspects:setting up independent experiment teaching arrangement,improvement of experiment teaching design,continuing to improve the laboratory hardware and software construction,reform of teaching methods.

Discussion on the Teaching of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Acupuncture and Moxibustion) in Myanmar

Acupuncture has been popular in foreign countries in recent years,especially in the treatment of neck pain,lower back pain,and other neurological diseases.As a result,many countries have started to invite TCM teachers from China to train their medical workers in Traditional Chinese Medicine(Acupuncture).The teaching of Traditional Chinese Medicine(Acupuncture and Moxibustion)in Myanmar has been carried out for 2 years.Through the feedback from students in the teaching process,this paper analyzes and summarizes the problems in the hope of drawing on and developing the overseas teaching system of traditional Chinese medicine in the future.

Research on the Cultivation of Innovative Talents in Software Engineering Based on the OBE Concept

Under the background of New Engineering,focusing on talent cultivation,this article explores the teaching reform and innovation of software engineering majors.Starting from the goal of cultivating software engineering talents in the context of New Engineering,the concept of outcome-based education is introduced to study and explore the construction of innovative talent training models for software engineering majors in universities.Through recent years’application practice,initial results have been achieved,which can provide feasible methods and ideas for the cultivation of innovative talents in other majors.

Experiences in Teaching World History in English

如何用英语开设世界历史课程?本文作者谈了他在教学中的体会: 1.要在这门概述性课程中体现历史唯物主义的观点,防止“欧洲中心论”。 2.中国学生习惯于依赖教师的讲课获取知识。因此,在教学的各个环节都要鼓励学生独立阅读与思考。 3.课堂讨论既可锻炼学生用英语表达思想,又可了解和纠正学生中一些不正确的想法,推动学习的深入。 4.目前学生选课过多,这难免影响他们独立、主动地学习,造成知识的浅薄。 5.用英语开设世界历史课程,促进了语言课和知识课的结合,显示了把单纯的外语学院办成综合性的文科外语大学的重要性。

A Little Experience in Teaching and Studying English

I learned in childhood to recite(withoutunderstanding)some classical literature,such as the Four Books and some chaptersof Zuo Zhuan,but apart from that I neverformally studied English or any other libe-ral arts subject.Therefore I can only dis-cuss this subject from a very limited experience.

An Analysis and Validation Toolkit to Support the Undergraduate Course of Computer Organization and Architecture

As an important part of the computer organization and architecture(COA)course,the experiment teaching is generally about the computer system design.Students use the hardware description languages(HDLs)tools to implement the computer system on the Field Programmable Gate Array(FPGA)based platform.However,the HDLs tools are made for expert hardware engineers and the computer system is a very complex hardware project.It is hard for students to implement their computer system design in the limited lab hours.How to help students get the design validation and find the failure root is important in COA experiment teaching.To this end,an analysis and validation toolkit which is special for COA experiment teaching is designed.For two main steps of FPGA-based hardware design,waveform simulation and on-board testing,two packages were implemented for them respectively.The comparison results of using and not using our toolkit show it improves the effectiveness of experiment teaching greatly.
