ABSTRACT
Field practice teaching is an important part in pharmaceutical botany. According to the problems in the traditional field practice, an innovative system of field practice teaching was built. A series of reform and innovation was integrating and rationally allocating the existing resources. Combining the tra-ditional cognitive practice teaching and self-study, image-text card of medicinal plant was edited to enrich the teaching content, and the diversification of evaluation methods was proposed. This method could mobi-lize the enthusiasm of the students, improve the comprehensive quality of students and obtain good teaching effect.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To enrich the identification diversity of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),and provide theoretical guidance for the quality evaluation of TCM. METHODS:According to literature references and traditional identification experienc-es,characteristics including medicinal shape,size,color and lustre,surface,texture,section,odor and other aspects were identi-fied by sense organs such as eyes,hands,nose and mouth. The vivid traditional identification term were obtained through systemat-ic summarization in order to explore the internal relationship with pharmaceutical botany. RESULTS&CONCLUSIONS:As the sim-plest identification method,traditional identification method can rapidly identify the species and quality of TCM,evaluate the quali-ty,and has great significance to solve the security issues of clinical medication and health care in daily life. There was a correlation between the traditional identification and botanical research,which could be able to provide theoretical guidance to characters identi-fication and quality evaluation of TCM.
ABSTRACT
Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine has conducted pharmaceutical botany extracurricular activities such as the experiment skill competition,fieldwork,specimen preparation,resources investigation,database construction,pharmaceutical plants cultivating and participating in scientific research projects etc.These activities have improved the students' learning enthusiasm,strengthened the effect of first classroom teaching,and have played a positive role especially in improving students' experimental skills and cultivating their innovative thinking and abilities,and improving teachers' quality.
ABSTRACT
The author designed and practiced group PK teaching model in Pharmaceutical Botany combined with the ideas of educational skill training program in Peking university aiming at promoting students' learning initiative and enthusiasm as well as collective and teamwork sense.The paper discussed the concept of group PK teaching,requirements for teaching design and problems which should be noted in practice from the aspects of introduction,design and practice of the method as well as teaching effect evaluation and teaching method reflection.Survey questionnaire was used to evaluate the preliminary teaching effect of the new teaching method and to explore its teaching thought and educational idea.In practice,group PK teaching model improved students' self-learning awareness and ability,communication skills,collective and teamwork sense.
