专创融合视角下“环境微生物学”课程教学改革实践

Practice of teaching reform in Environmental Microbiology from the perspective of integration of professional education and innovation

摘要:

“环境微生物学”作为环境生态工程专业的必修基础课程，其知识体系不仅蕴含深厚的理论基础，还紧密关联着环境保护与生态修复的实践应用，是推进专业课程教学改革与实践创新的理想载体。本文以“环境微生物学”课程为例，着力解决环境微生物学教学存在的课程内容陈旧、教学方法单一等问题，以期提升学生的专业素养、实践能力和创新创业能力。为此，深入探索了专创融合、创新驱动视角下的教学改革与实践路径，从课程内容的优化重组、教学方法的多元化探索以及评价体系的科学构建等多个维度进行综合改革，构建了“三维六环五协同”教学新模式。这一系列综合改革措施不仅强化了专业知识的深度与广度，还提升了学生的实践操作能力与创新思维，为新时代背景下环境微生物学的教学改革与高素质环境专业人才的培育奠定了坚实的基础。

Abstract:

Environmental Microbiology, as a compulsory foundational course for the major of environmental and ecological engineering. Its knowledge system not only lays a profound theoretical foundation but also evinces a close-knit nexus to practical applications in environmental protection and ecological restoration. This course thus serves as an outstanding platform facilitating both teaching reforms and practical innovations of professional courses. With Environmental Microbiology as a paradigmatic illustration, this paper concentrates on addressing issues like archaic course contents and enervating teaching approaches, with the aspiration of augmenting students’ professional acuities, practical dexterities, and innovation and entrepreneurial aptitudes. In light of the aforesaid aim, we initiated an all-encompassing probe into the teaching reform and practicable paradigms from the perspective of amalgamating professional education with innovation-steered stratagems. Across multiple fronts, comprehensive reformative undertakings were implemented, subsuming the optimization and reconfiguration of course contents, the exploration of sundry teaching methodologies, and the scientific erection of an evaluation system. Ultimately, a nascent teaching model dubbed “three-dimensional, six-loop and five-collaborative” was formed. This series of comprehensive and innovative reform measures has not only substantially augmented the profundity and extensiveness of professional knowledge, permeating into the core of disciplinary essence, but also remarkably bolstered students’ practical operational capabilities and innovative thinking patterns, thereby catalyzing their transformation into well-rounded individuals with a competitive edge. By virtue of these efforts, a solid foundation has been firmly laid for the teaching reform of Environmental Microbiology and the cultivation of high-caliber environmental professionals in the contemporary era, heralding a new chapter in the development of environmental education.
