Research On High School Biology Teaching Micro-course Design And Application

In contemporary society, with the rapid technological development, digitalmedia are more advanced. Micro courses quickly adapted to the needs of sociallearning with its convenience, speed and flexibility. Micro courses as a flexible formof learning, play a very good supporting role in students’ formal learning, and it alsoaccelerate reforming modern education. This thesis is divided into five chapters:The first chapter describes the research background, research status, thepurpose of this study, the content and approaches of study. Micro-courses, as a newform of curriculum, cater to the needs of people’s learning.The second chapter mainly deal with the other scholars’ research in themicro-courses, differences between micro-courses and mini-course, the definition ofmicro-programs, and some unique features and shortcomings of the micro-courses.The third chapter analyzes the characteristics of high school biology, and dealswith the comparative analysis of traditional teaching approach and the micro-courseteaching approach, thus, on this basis, bring out the principles of micro-courseteaching approach in high school biology curriculum, the general pattern of micro-course design, as well as some dos and don’ts in the design.Chapter IV deals with the different applications of micro-course teachingapproach in high school biology, and tries to probe into a combination of differenttypes of micro-courses curriculum.The fifth chapter of the thesis is summary and discussion. As a new curriculumform, Micro-courses have not a complete curriculum design patterns, therefore,there are much to be perfected. I hope more and more teachers will commit to themicro-course teaching approach.
