Application of a teaching-learning method based on PBL collaborative group division of labor in practical teaching of grassland conservation

In this paper, two students majoring in Pratacultural Science in the College of Animal Science and Technology of the Agricultural University of Hebei (with different teaching practices) were taken as a study sample for practical application of teaching reforms aimed at expanding experimental teaching approaches, introducing course practice skills competitions, practicing teaching off campus, establishing a collaborative steering group made up of entrepreneurs, developing innovative content for teaching of grassland protection practices, practicing teaching informatization reform, and developing a course evaluation system to assess the effects of incorporating PBL (Problem-based learning) into teaching-learning methods used to teach a Grassland Conservation Course under the auspices of collaboration between industry, education, research, and local communities. Our results indicate that this teaching method can improve teaching quality and student test scores to a great extent, and enhance students’ comprehensive professional practice quality. Thus it should be widely promoted in the teaching of “grassland protection”.
