评《现代遗传学教程》并论教学改革环境下的本科遗传学教材建设

遗传学的发展使人应接不暇,但遗传学教材的建设恐令人喜忧参半.在高校教学改革的新环境下,遗传学教材的建设面临课时大幅减少,内容更新快,重视不够,投入不足,各自为政,良莠不济等诸多问题.本文评《现代遗传学教程》,既为有的放矢,更为借题发挥,言之有物.教材建设的核心问题是其能否适应遗传学人才的培养,而其所面临的现实问题是教材能否适合学生自主学习,培养其学习兴趣与后劲.遗传学教材的编著者必须心系教学与教材建设,编著过程应该有组织,使用必须经过严格审定,同时还应该有师生的评价与反馈.遗传学教材应该具有专业启蒙与教育的基本功能,同时也应该成为向学生传授知识与技能、培养其素质与品行的良师益友.

Remarking "Modern Genetic" and Discussing the Construction of Undergraduate Genetic Textbooks in the New Environment of the Higher Education Reform

The development of genetics has overwhelmed people,but the construction of genetic teaching material is not satisfactory.In the new environment of the higher education reform,the construction of genetic teaching material is facing various problems,such as hours for genetic class being significantly reduced,content updating quickly,few attention paid on,insufficient investment,eac h does things in his own way,lack of a regular standard.Aiming at problems me ntioned above,this assessment on "Modern Genetics" not only talks about solutio ns.The core issue of the construction of teaching material is whether it can ad apt to train the talent of genetics,and the real problem is whether it is suita ble for self-access learning and to develop students’ interest and stamina in l earning.The compilation of genetic teaching material must be related tightly to the teaching and the construction of textbook.The process of compilation should be organized,the practice must be approved,and there should be feedback from teachers and students.Genetic teaching material should be basically functional to professionally enlighten and educate students,as well as a mentor who teache s them the knowledge and skills and develops their qualities and characters.
