Practice and thinking of the flipped classroom in the teaching of biochemistry theory

Abstract

In order to explore the effect of flipped classroom in theoretical teaching of biochemistry, lipids was selected to carry out four stages flipped classroom. The teaching effect of flipped classroom was evaluated by test and questionnaire survey of students. The results indicated that most under-graduate students could accept novel teaching method. However, the consciousness and the ability of students' independent learning need to be further improved. It also takes time for the students to adapt to the transition from traditional teaching to flipped classroom. In summary, the specificity of Biochemistry may limit the carrying out of flipped classroom to some extent. Therefore, which kind of teaching method is adopted depends on the biochemistry theoretical content. Our work may provide some references for further application of flipped classroom in biochemistry teaching. Key words: Flipped classroom; Biochemistry; Lipids metabolism
