Abstract:

Owing to the outdated content and one-sided assessment method in the comprehensive experimental course of applied chemistry, the development of students' innovative ability and independent learning is limited. In this article, the course is systematically designed based on the OBE (Outcome-based education) concept to solve these problems. Firstly, the innovative experimental projects are designed by integrating teachers' achievements in scientific research. Hence, the students will experience the frontier and innovative technology in a scientific way. Secondly, some design, exploring and challenging projects are carried out during teaching and learning process to stimulate students' learning interest and self-learning awareness. And through these projects, students' innovative ability and scientific spirit are cultivated. Thirdly, the process assessment is highlighted, and the outcome-oriented assessment mode is as well as established to evaluate the achievement of course objectives. Eventually, the teaching scheme is optimized and expected to promote the development of the ability-oriented training mode in experimental course by applying the evaluation results of the course objectives achievement and the continuous improvement principle.

Key words: OBE concept, Chemical experiment, Innovative practice
