Research on the Integration of Scientific Research Practice into the Teaching of Bioinformatics Course
Keywords:
Bioinformatics, Scientific research practice, Course teachingAbstract
Bioinformatics, as an emerging discipline, plays a significant role in cultivating scientific research abilities among medical undergraduates. The bioinformatics curriculum aligns with the requirements of the new era for developing research capabilities in medical undergraduates, serving as a practical tool for medical research and expanding students’ research skills. However, current bioinformatics education faces certain shortcomings, such as imbalanced course hours and content, lack of synchronization between theory and practice, students’ misconceptions, insufficient teaching materials, and the absence of online teaching resources. By incorporating research practices such as database exploration, software analysis comparison, and data simulation, teachers can further enhance the quality of bioinformatics instruction. This approach enables students to deepen their understanding of learned knowledge during research projects and apply this knowledge in practice. Scientific practice helps students improve their independent design skills, scientific research literacy, and understanding of experimental procedures. It addresses the shortcomings of routine laboratory courses, while also fostering students’ critical thinking abilities and interest in scientific research.
