How to Reform Experiment Courses of Soil and Fertilizer Science

摘要

Soil and fertilizer are the essential natural resources and fundamental means in agriculture production. Soil and fertilizer science is a basic professional course for several majors such as agronomy, horticulture, plant protection and forestry. For purpose of integration of research and teaching, experiment courses shall be under relevant reform and adjustment in the colleges and universities, the natural juncture between scientific research and teaching. Soil and fertilizer science is a basic and professional course, whose self-contained experiment courses are considered as the key component in the relevant professional learning and teaching. An overall reform shall be carried out for the experiment courses of soil and fertilizer science, by way of taking such measurements as cutting back confirmatory experiments and adding exploratory experiments to stimulate the college students' interest in their majors and practical operation. Therefore, their change from passive absorption to active study shall boost their enthusiasm in science and technology innovation.
