综合性高校动物生物学课程的探究性实验教学改革.

To adapt the reform of the animal biology teaching process, three exploratory experiments were meticulously designed based on nowadays course system, lab conditions and mature verified experiments. The first is die observation of amphioxus and frogs’ early embryonic development. The second is to investigate the structure, function and adaptation process of die terrestrial vertebrate skeletal system. The third is to open die brain of die vertebrate. Students are supposed to consult literatures and write the preparation part of the lab report before the class. Then after the experiment, they should finish their lab report and give a true account of respond. The experiment score takes up 25% of die final grade. These experiments have improved during nearly three years of practice and exploration. With high enthusiasm and motivation, students gain much progress in practical ability and expression ability through the exploration. Also, die 2016 final grade average made an increase of 19% over 2015’s. The textbook knowledge is refined and integrated into the experiments. The experiments are interesting, continuing and innovative as well. Students can set up die framework and main clue of the animal evolution and meet the syllabus’ requirement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
