Application of research-based teaching methods in the undergraduate Forage Seed Science Course

Research-based teaching is a new problem- and student-oriented teaching model which aims to improve students’ creative and practical abilities. It is an important way to meet society’s current needs for fostering innovative talent and students’ overall development. Taking the undergraduate teaching of the Forage Seed Science course at Lanzhou University as an example, this article focuses on optimization of teaching content, selection of research teaching topics, and the application of innovative teaching modes, methods and assessment. The article systematically discusses the potential value of applying research-based methods to the teaching of Forage Seed Science. Further, possible problems in the practical application of research-based teaching are discussed, and corresponding suggestions are proposed.
