摘要:

通识教育已经成为大学高等教育的重要组成部分,强调通专结合的办学理念,要求践行“以人为本”的教育实践。在教学实践中存在不少困难和困惑,需要不断总结和发展中国特色的通识教育体系。本文凝练了在人类生物学教学实践中如何融入人类遗传学知识的通识教学理念、案例和分析,以“人是什么”为切入点引入贴近生活的教学内容。通过现代进化基因组学知识,解析人类自身发展的过去、现在和未来所涉及的生物学核心问题。剖析人的经典属性及其与通识教育的特殊关联,进而引出基于问题的深层次思考。

Abstract:

General education is an important part in higher education, which emphasizes the educational idea of integration of generality with specialty, and practices people-oriented education concept. However, there are some difficulties and puzzles in general education. Now the general education system with Chinese characteristics is needed to be established through practice and development. In this paper, we enumerate how to integrate knowledge of human genetics in practice of general education, teaching cases, and relevant analysis with concepts of general education. Using questions as “what are human beings?” as a leverage, we introduce teaching contents closely related to daily life. For example, we explain the past, present and future of human beings through contemporary evolutionary genomics teaching. In addition, we introduce problem-based deep thinking for students, thus integrating classical attributes of human beings into general education.

Key words: general education, human biology, genetics
