研究性教学实施方案：

Debate on pros and cons of gene mutations

1. Format

   “Problem-based learn” is the process that takes the problem as the basic factor to link the related content of the course and makes students actively participate in study. The main teaching format is group discussion and the guidance of instructor, emphasizing to solve problems instead of simply acquiring knowledge.

   Based on the “gene mutation” section in animal genetics, the instructor should set the discussed problem to students in advance so that they can look up the materials for the problems; prepare them in advance; and efficiently communicate and discuss with classmates and instructor during study. Finally, the instructor gives the suggestions and comments for the workshop. The purpose of this workshop is to strengthen students’ understanding of the gene mutation; develop their critical thinking and exploration abilities. Furthermore, this format will build an excellent atmosphere for students actively thinking and enhance their abilities to analyze, extract, and solve the problems.

2. Oriented-questions

  2.1 Are mutations helpful or harmful? Students were divided into two groups for debate. During debate, each party should give the issue, arguments, evidences etc. The debaters from each party should try their best to refute opponent.

     Positive party: mutations are good

     Negative party: mutations are bad

  2.2 The significant of gene mutation (based on students’ debate, students and instructor make a summary)

3. Ground rules for class discussions and workshops

  (1) Be on time

  (2) Try to use English as much as possible

  (3) Speak so that everyone from front to back can hear you

  (4) Listen when others are speaking (I may ask other students to translate the previous student’s English answer)

  (5) If it’s review for, use your intellect to hear it in a new way

  (6) Write down your answers or consolidate to print
