Application of New Teaching Modelin Environmental Biology Teaching

As an interdisciplinary subject, environmental biology encompasses extensive and complex teaching content. The traditional teaching models exhibit numerous shortcomings in content updates, method diversification, scientific evaluation systems, and practical component development. To address these issues, this study introduces the"Two Innovations and Three Transformations" mode: innovation in classroom teaching theories and experimental teaching mechanisms, alongside visualization of course content, normalization of course management, and application-oriented course outcomes. This approach aims to enhance teaching quality and students' comprehensive abilities. Through theoretical innovation of classroom teaching—such as case-based learning, flipped classrooms, and interactive teaching—students' self-directed learning ability and critical thinking skills have significantly improved; innovations in experimental teaching mechanisms—including open-ended experiments, interdisciplinary experiments, and university-industry collaborations—have comprehensively enhanced students' research and practical capabilities. Course-content visualization utilizes multimedia technology and virtual simulation to render abstract knowledge intuitive, markedly increasing students' comprehension depth and learning engagement. Course management normalization through regular evaluations, digital resource library and online learning platforms enables continuous improvement in teaching quality and efficient resource sharing. By establishing a trinity cultivation mode of "university-enterprise coordination, practice-oriented education, integration of innovation and entrepreneurship", students have seen a significant improvement in their practical innovation capabilities and complex problem-solving skills. Evaluation system reforms, featuring diversified assessments alongside student self-evaluation and peer-review mechanisms, comprehensively assess students' overall competencies while strengthening their self-reflection abilities and learning motivation. Research indicates that implementing the "Two Innovations and Three Transformations" model in environmental biology education not only effectively enhances teaching quality but also cultivates students' comprehensive qualities and practical abilities. This provides robust support for cultivating high-caliber applied talents who meet the demands of national ecological civilization construction. Moving forward, further deepening the application of this model is essential. By integrating cutting-edge disciplinary developments and societal needs, teaching content and methodologies should be continuously optimized to cultivate and deliver more outstanding talents for national ecological civilization development and sustainable development.
