   In order to further improve the teaching quality, in line with the teaching concept of mutual learning and mutual promotion, 21 teachers from Inorganic Chemistry and General Chemical teaching and Research Group gathered together on the 15th July and held a wonderful teaching and research activity. The event was presided over by Professor Shuzhong Zhan, director of Inorganic Chemistry Teaching and Research Office.

 

First of all, Prof. Yuanfu Deng gave a work report on the revision of the curriculum syllabus. He called for everyone to make course syllabus course education outline according to teaching content, nature, ideological elements, cleverly will value guidance, knowledge dissemination, the ability to form organic unity. Meanwhile, he also called for teachers according to the course characteristic, to write both Chinese and English syllabus with compliance and outstanding features.


In the first year of specialty free enrollment, facing the situation with increased teaching hours, changes in teaching contents and less available laboratories, Prof. Xiaolan Wei was assigned to lead several teachers in the inorganic teaching and research department, and successfully opened two experimental courses by pioneering scientific research contents into undergraduate experimental courses. Thus, she gave an enthusiastic summary of her valuable experience in teaching practice with the theme of Inorganic Chemistry Experimental Course Content Construction and Teaching Practice featuring New Experimental Creation, which set a very good example to inspire young teachers to devote themselves to teaching, to carry out innovative teaching and to be willing to give.


How to crack difficult and easy parts in inorganic chemistry? Prof. Baitao Li showed a great idea. In particular, the difficult knowledge should start to be learned from a small aspect and the easy knowledge should also be carefully experienced. She gave an example that atomic structure section is recognized as a difficult teaching part, Prof. Li thus introduced the background knowledge of atomic structure from the 2013 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (creating a multi-scale model for complex chemical systems), and talked about the application of atomic structure knowledge from photoelectron spectroscopy.


Prof. Xiangli Wang shared the application of modern educational technology in teaching Inorganic Chemistry and General Chemistry experiments through hybrid teaching modes such as course website, flipped classroom, mind map and questionnaire. The combined online and offline mode stimulated students' interest in learning, and within a short period of time, the course received more than 5,000 hits, benefiting a wide range of people and scoring high teaching quality. This diversified teaching mode provided a good reference for future teachers to carry out diversified teaching.


As an outstanding young talent, Prof. Jinbin Liu's teaching was well received by students. With the theme of Research for teaching and better integration of research results into the teaching of Inorganic Chemistry, he introduced his experience accumulated over the years to the teachers in the faculty. In the presentation, he took ionization equilibrium as an example and related the characteristics of pH difference between microenvironment of cancer cells and normal cells, and gave a more detailed account of the latest research results in his group.


Prof. Shaorong Yang talked about the original purpose of the website Exploring online and offline teaching in university chemistry, as well as its current situation and future vision. She hoped that all teachers in the group can work together to make the university chemistry catechism a national quality product. Prof. Zihua Wang shared his experience of teaching General Chemistry in English. He not only introduced the English textbook and teaching aids, but also introduced vivid and interesting animations and Flash, which helped students to understand and master the knowledge points, and also helped to liven up the classroom atmosphere.


Finally, all members in Inorganic Chemistry and General Chemical teaching discussed several key issues, such as how to strengthen mutual learning, how to better issue examinations, how to declare teaching and research projects as a team, and expressed that in the future, they would devote themselves to teaching in a more positive attitude and diversified ways, participate in the construction of the curriculum, and implement the fundamental task of establishing moral education.
