Abstract: Organic Chemistry is a compulsory basic course offered for undergraduate majors such as chemistry, biology, materials, and environment. The course of Organic Chemistry in South China Normal University adheres to the teaching philosophy of “reviewing the old to learn the new and applying what is learned”, adheres to the guidance of “cultivating virtue and educating student” and “teaching people to fish”, attaches importance to the personalized growth of students, fully utilizes information technology and new form textbooks and other teaching platforms, makes the combination and interaction of “offline” and “online” teaching, creates a learning community that promotes “learning-research-teaching”, and implements diverse and flexible course grade evaluation methods. By benchmarking the cultivation of outstanding talents, especially particularly versatile, practical, innovative, and individualized teacher trainees, we have reorganized an organic chemistry teaching pattern that integrates, permeates the history of chemistry, and green chemistry knowledge, and constructed a curriculum teaching model with innovative characteristics of the “old and new” sixtet. Through years of teaching innovation and practice, our curriculum has achieved significant results in educating students. In 2020, it was recognized as one of the first batch of “national first-class undergraduate courses” and “provincial first-class undergraduate courses”.

Key words: Organic chemistry instruction, Curriculum teaching mode, Chemistry teacher trainees, Essence of education
