Abstract
- The post-00s college students are a group of "internet natives" with distinctive personality and innovative spirit. It is important to explore how to motivate them to actively learn new knowledge. Debate, as a means of learning and communication, can enhance participants' critical thinking skills, boost oral skills, and promote their learning of relevant knowledge. Here, we use the model of classroom debate in a general education biology course to debate scientific controversies. This increases students' enthusiasm for independent learning of relevant knowledge and promotes effective independent inquiry and learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
