Abstract:
To address the shortcomings of traditional experimental teaching, such as inadequate pre-class preparation and a lack of training in experimental design thinking, the Experimental Teaching Center has developed a biological scientific research training platform using virtual simulation and information technology. This platform comprises five modules: creating mind maps for experimental design, constructing virtual experimental procedures, collecting data from hands-on experiments, collating and compiling experimental reports, as well as reviewing and learning from excellent experimental projects. This platform enables the comprehensive life-cycle management of biological experimental projects, representing a novel attempt to reform the traditional biological experimental teaching model. By integrating online and offline approaches, it enhances the effectiveness of biological experimental teaching and project management efficiency, while strengthening the cultivation of students’ scientific research and innovative thinking abilities.
