Abstract:

With new insights into the course content of "f-zone elements" in general inorganic chemistry, this study explored the reconfiguration of the course design, which includes: i) A new system of teaching the course was reconfigured and improved, and three modules of knowledge, ability, and quality were enriched, thus achieving integration between the modules. ii) The similarities and differences between lanthanides and actinides were objectively handled, and the two series were emphasized to no longer appear identical. Meanwhile, the content integrity of actinides was more focused. iii) The idea of major going with ideology politics within the same direction was strengthened. The educational function of teaching materials was fully displayed, and the contribution of Chinese scientists to the world's scientific progress was highlighted.

Key words: Lanthanide, Actinides, Course design, Integration, Personnel training
