Abstract:

Instrumental analysis laboratory often needs to be completed by many individuals together. In the experimental training of high performance liquid chromatography, infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet spectrum and atomic absorption spectrometry, we tried to apply the peer education method to achieve good teaching performances. Peer education is mainly embodied in four aspects:mutual assistance, mutual competition, mutual learning and mutual supervision. Peer education partially relieves teachers' work load, promotes peers' communication, enhances the cohesion between the members in peer groups, and improves the experimental performances in general. It is helpful for the instrumental analysis laboratory teaching when the teachers organize the experiment with the peer education method.

Key words: Peer education, Mutual assistance, Mutual competition, Mutual learning, Mutual supervision
