ABSTRACT

The National College Student Life Science Competition (NLSC) is an important competition in the field of life science in China. Competition plays a positive role in cultivating students' innovative abilities and promoting teaching mode reform. However, the duration of the competition is relatively short, and most people have not yet effectively improved the quality of teaching through the competition. This article reviews the problems that existed in the early stage of the competition in my unit, including the lack of effective organizational management and supervision system, the lack of a professional guidance teacher team, and the need to improve the training system of the competition team. In the past two years of reform, the author team has taken targeted reform measures to address the above issues, established an effective management system, improved the level of teacher guidance in competitions, optimized the organizational model of the competition team, and created a good competition atmosphere. Through systematic reform, teachers' teaching and research ability and students' scientific literacy have been improved. This article systematically summarizes the reform plan and effectiveness of talent cultivation mode based on life science competitions, and the research results provide reference for the reform of talent cultivation mode in universities.
