Student's self-study is not only the foundation of life-long learning, but also the need of social development. There's a good chance to make they tick self-study for senior high school students when they participated in biological research in community. So senior high school students in the survey research demonstrated that it is suitable to study the self-learning. It is also the reality reflect of shanghai senior high school students' autonomy and in line with the request made by the new curriculum.The main research methords are literature search, survey, interview and case studies.
