The Records and Successes of Biochemistry Teaching Reform (1985 ~ 2021) in China: A Systematic Analysis Based on NVivo 11 Plus Software / 中国生物化学与分子生物学报

ABSTRACT

The curriculum is the core element for talent cultivation that produces most direct, central andtangible benefits for college students. And biochemistry is an important core curriculum of bioscience. It ispractical to clarify the changes in biochemistry teaching research in China. In the present study, 5 871literatures on biochemistry teaching research were collected since 1985. The literatures were divided intofour stages according to the main educational policy and strategy documents as 1985 ~ 2006, 2007 ~ 2012, 2013 ~ 2016 and 2017 ~ 2021. The title and keywords were analyzed by the software of NVivo 11Plus. The results from the correlation analysis showed that the development of biochemistry teachingreform was adapted to the strategy of the national education development. The studies for biochemistryteaching research were further grouped into education strategy, education subject, education object andeducation assessment through coding and objective analysis based on grounded theories. The connotationof student-centered biochemistry education research was elaborated in detail. Multiple teaching methodssuch as structural thinking, problem-based learning, team-based learning, blended learning and online-offline learning should be integrated. New teaching techniques such as multimedia, virtual simulation andinternet should be converged. Curriculum ideological and political courses should be explored and appliedthroughout the biochemistry education. This study is helpful to promote the comprehensive development ofbiochemistry education in China from the perspectives of strengthening learning ability, paying attentionto the learning effect, and promoting the students' development.
