Abstract: Modern Instrumental Analysis Experiment is a core course designed for graduate students in chemistry and related fields to cultivate scientific thinking and advanced experimental skills. The quality of its instruction directly affects the reliability of students' research data and the development of their professional competence. To address current teaching issues such as inadequate normative awareness, lack of data traceability, and insufficient standardization in practice, this paper proposes a reform approach that fully integrates the philosophy of qualification certification into teaching practice, based on the experience of the Certified Laboratories at Nankai University. To address this, we introduced a reform package featuring several interconnected measures: the compilation of standardized teaching materials, the comprehensive integration of the six essential certification elements (personnel, equipment, materials, methods, environment, and measurement), the establishment of a three-level traceability mechanism covering all experimental phases, and a tripartite evaluation system centered on norm awareness, operational skill, and data quality. These initiatives collectively enhance students' standard awareness and compliance literacy, presenting a replicable model for advancing standardization in chemical experiment instruction.
