Abstract
As an integral component of chemical practical courses, Organic Chemistry Experiment course plays a significant role in cultivating undergraduate application-oriented innovative talents majoring in the fields of chemistry and material. Nevertheless, there are still some problems present in the current Organic Chemistry Experiment course, such as limitations in teaching methods, rigidity in students’ thinking patterns, and simplistic evaluation methods. These problems have already restricted the effectiveness of talent cultivation. Taking current problems within the Organic Chemistry Experiment curriculum as starting points, this paper explores pathways to develop students’ scientific research thinking. Some course reform measures are proposed from three key aspects: Teaching methods, course content, and evaluation systems. The reform measures in this paper have achieved positive results. These initiatives not only enhance students’ ability to apply theoretical knowledge to solving problems in practice, but also effectively foster a rigorous scientific attitude and cultivate scientific research thinking.
