ABSTRACT
Molecular Biology is the core course of biology major, whose fundamentals are classical and which develops rapidly as well. The introduction of the discipline frontiers is an ideal way to enhance the vitality of the classroom. Based on MOOC resources, the course group combined online independent study and offline face to face class to implement blended learning. Driven by the discipline frontiers, diversified teaching methods were introduced and classroom ecology was reconstructed. Multiple teaching sessions, including students’ independent study, questioning and presentation, class leading role of the teachers, questions and answers and knowledge expansion have been rolled out and unified so as to cultivate the science and humanity spirit of the students and enhance the vitality of the classroom. This blended teaching model effectively exercises students’ innovative thinking, improves students’ participation, and plays a positive role in enriching learning experience, stimulating professional dream and promoting students’ enlightenment.
