Primary-Literature-Based Teaching to Facilitate Learning， A Case Study in Cell Biology

Abstract: To develop students’ innovative and creative abilities， the educators over the world are practicing various approaches to facilitate students’ learning. This education reform concentrates on the transformation of the cognitive system—from the knowledge-based system to the action-based system. In one chapter of the course Cell Biology， we selected three original research articles in the field of cellular membrane and vesicle trafficking as the class reading material. These articles emphasize three topics: the assembly of ribosomes on the membrane， the translocation of nascent peptide chains across the membrane and the transport of proteins by vesicles respectively. We focus on the teaching to facilitate literature reading and share our experience in achieving high level of learning.
