Abstract:

Biology experiment teaching is an important way of cultivating first-class undergraduates. In the traditional experimental teaching, teachers often only focus on improving students’ practical ability, while ignore the cultivation of scientific innovative thinking and ability through basic experiments. Therefore, it is necessary to combine “small experiment” with the “big background” of subject development, and with students’ experimental design ability, as well as critical and innovative thinking ability. In this way, without increasing the experimental funds and hardware investment, it can enhance the difficulty and challenge of experimental teaching, and enhance students’ interest in learning. This teaching model not only helps to cultivate students’ practical ability, but also improves students’ high-level abilities such as scientific and innovative thinking.
