Innovation and Practice of Ornamental Botany Teaching Based on the New Media

Abstract

The weak biology foundation of tourism management students and the decline of learning interest caused by the poor maneuverability of practical teaching are urgent problems that need to be solved in ornamental botany teaching. We increased the basic terminologies for plant classification in classroom teaching, and optimized the teaching contents, and increased the class hour of plant morphology and anatomy observation and also introduced the hot cases of ecotourism and tourism planning according to the professional requirements. The two homework of phenology observation and plant landscaping for the whole semester made up for the lack of mobility in practice teaching. The assessment of practice teaching was increased, which included practice attitude, field plant identification, comprehensive report and practice experience these measures have improved the learning interests and teaching effects. The use of WeChat's new media to show a wide variety of ornamental plants and to attract students to observe was an innovation.
