通过“现代微生物学技术”课程教学培养研究生创新能力的实践

Practice in fostering postgraduates’ creativity through teaching the course of Modern Microbial Biotechnology

摘要:

创新能力提升是当前研究生培养的核心目标，为了探索提高硕士研究生创新能力的课程教学新模式，笔者以微生物学相关专业学术型硕士研究生的选修课程——“现代微生物学技术”课程为例，对课程的教学内容、方法、考核方式等开展了探索与实践。授课教师通过案例教学、研讨式课堂和评价方式的改革，不仅让研究生掌握了现代微生物学技术的相关专业知识和学科前沿，更加提升了学生发现问题、分析问题和解决问题的能力，进而提高了研究生的创新能力。

Abstract:

Improving the creativity is crucial to postgraduate training nowadays. The course of Modern Microbial Biotechnology is an optional specialized course for microbiology-related postgraduates. To explore a new teaching mode for improving the creativity of postgraduate students, we reformed the teaching content, the teaching method and the evaluation mode of this course. Through case study teaching, seminar-style classroom and implementation of a new assessment method, the students not only mastered professional knowledge and disciplinary frontiers of modern microbiology technology, but also improved their ability of discovering, analyzing and solving problems. The reformed course teaching mode is effective in fostering postgraduates’ creativity.
