ABSTRACT

Biochemistry is a core course in the bioscience major (normal school). The course content is complex and covers a broad spectrum that provides a good breeding ground for the integration of ideological and political matters into the curriculum. This study analyzes the ideological elements in the biological chemistry course. It optimizes the teaching content, improves the teaching mode, and optimizes the teaching evaluation way of course education teaching exploration. Through listing the examples of related scholars, mining ideological case in life, combining with the experimental course and online teaching resources, it conducts values guide in knowledge and ability cultivation. This aims to promote the cultivation of the concept of moral education and talent cultivation, improve normal research ability, expand the cultivation of normal ethics education way. "Who should be educated, how should be educated and for whom" is the fundamental problem of education and also the cornerstone to measure the effectiveness of talent training in colleges and universities. Under the background of the new era, promoting the high-quality development of ideological and political courses is not only the only way to comprehensively improve the quality of talent education, but also the urgent need to improve and strengthen the ideological and political work in colleges and universities. Biological science (normal) professional students (hereinafter referred to as "normal") after graduation will be the high mission of teaching, ideological and political theory study is particularly important in the teaching process, teachers should be professional knowledge, ideological and political learning and cultivation of students comprehensive quality organic combination, realize the unity, give full play to the educational function of the course, to carry out the idea of "three education"[1]. This paper takes the author's professional course - "Biochemistry" in the College of Life Science as an example to further explore the course containing ideological elements. By listing the examples of related scholars, mining the ideological cases in life, combining with the experimental courses, online teaching resources and normal research ability, it integrates the educators' minds and normal ideological and political education into the biochemistry classroom teaching, providing references for students majoring in biological science (normal) in similar colleges.
