Research on the scaffolding teaching in the theory teaching of Clinical Microbiology Laboratory Technology / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

The scaffolding teaching is a kind of "student-centered" teaching desgin. In this study, the teacher breaks down complex content into simply conceptual framework so as to enable students to define their learning objectives, provide help for students' learning, and guide students to think independently and explore cooperatively to construct their own knowledge system. Clinical Microbiology Laboratory Technology is a specialized course with very complicated theoretical contents, which can break up the whole into parts by scaffolding instruction, combined with the learning strategies of cooperation, exploration and mind mapping. Finally, "installment fixed deposit" is realized by induction and summary. The scaffolding teaching model promotes students' ability of autonomous learning, analytical reasoning and innovation.
