Using movie clips to lighten the learning experience of Ebola virus infection process

Abstract

ABSTRACTExcellent film is an integrated art. It has rich knowledge and profound ideological connotations. In order to promote students’ enthusiasm for learning about biology, we made some attempts on how to use movie clips for biological teaching and achieved good results. Making use of movie’s sound, color, light, and animations, we tried to enrich students’ perceptions from multiple perspectives and help students understand abstract concepts. Therefore, this paper proposes the idea of eliciting positive emotions by showing students movie clips to enhance their understanding of the Ebola virus infection process.
