The natural medicine biotechnology course plays a
vital role in cultivating innovative
students with a comprehensive knowledge system and an interdisciplinary concept
for natural medicine research. This course primarily focuses on principles and
applications of cutting-edge biotechnologies involved in natural medicine
research, which has significant interdisciplinary characteristics. In the teaching reform, we moved beyond a
purely teacher-centered model by establishing a diversified teaching approach
integrating Lecture-Based Learning (LBL), Research-Based Learning (RBL),
Problem-Based Learning (PBL), and Case-Based Learning (CBL). Through a
combination of online and offline teaching, case analysis, digital resource
sharing, and thematic group discussions, students gain a more intuitive and
in-depth understanding of the course content. This approach also stimulates
students' enthusiasm for learning and inspires them to explore new directions
in natural medicine research.
