Abstract:

The flipped classroom, which can effectively arouse students’ interest and enthusiasm, is widely concerned in recent years. Before class, the teacher transfer knowledge through putting out a series of micro videos and a matching self-study task list, and the students get knowledge through watching the micro videos and doing the self-test. In class, the teacher designs classroom activities and the students internalize knowledge by solving the problem with group cooperation. With the aim of cultivating college students’ self-learning ability, the teaching of cell biology based on the flipped classroom model has been explored and improved for three consecutive years. The students’ satisfaction with the teaching of cell biology in the flipped classroom has been continuously improved, the students’ interest in learning has been increased, and the students’ ability of team cooperation and problem solving has been enhanced. The results showed that the flipped classroom teaching model can not only improve the students’ final grades, but also increase the excellent rate and pass rate.
