“双一流”背景下非生物专业生命科学实践类系列特色通识课程的建设与探索

Development of practical liberal courses for students with non-biology majors under the “Double First-class” background

摘要:

生命科学是与人类关系最密切的学科，也是众多科学领域中发展迅速且交叉性强的实验性学科。“双一流”建设背景下，人才培养以全面发展为导向，这对大学生生命科学素养和综合能力的培养提出了迫切需求。以通识课程体系改革为契机，积极探索并成功建设面向非生物专业学生的8门生命科学实践类系列通识课程，课程内容涵盖生命科学的各个分支学科或方向，培养具有生命科学知识和素养并具有一定实践能力和创新能力的复合型人才，可为高校实验教学中心通识课程开设和实验教学改革提供参考和借鉴的经验。

Abstract:

Life sciences are the disciplines most closely related with human beings. As experimental disciplines, life sciences develop rapidly and highly intersect in many scientific fields. Under the “double first-class” initiative, the comprehensive development-oriented talent training system has put forward an urgent need for life sciences literacy and comprehensive ability training of college students. Taking the reform of liberal education curriculum system as an opportunity, we developed a series of eight life sciences practical liberal courses for students with non-biology majors. The courses cover all sub-disciplines or directions of life sciences, and aim to foster interdisciplinary talents with life sciences knowledge and literacy, as well as practical and innovative abilities. These courses could serve as references for experimental teaching centers in colleges and universities to set up practical liberal and experimental courses.
