“动物遗传原理与育种方法”作为农业硕士专业学位(畜牧领域)一门主干课程,也是一门理论与实践相结合的课程。传统的举例教学方式不仅难以满足现代专业学位教学要求,而且也难以让学生系统掌握遗传育种理论与实践知识。本文在对开放式全程案例教学的内涵与特点进行分析的基础上,结合“动物遗传原理与育种方法” 案例的教学实践,阐述了全程案例教学设计中典型案例选择、案例的课堂讲解和组织讨论、案例的课堂总结以及课程教学评价等设计技巧与注意事项,为农学专业学位研究生培养过程中案例教学法的应用和推广提供一定的参考。

“Animal Genetics Principles and Breeding Methods” is a main course for Master students majoring in Agriculture (Livestock) and involves a combination of theory and practice. The traditional teaching method is difficult not only to meet the requirements of modern professional degree teaching, but also for the students to master the theory and practice of genetic breeding. We have employed the case study methodology during the entire course. This paper analyzes the connotation and characteristics of the method and expounds the design and discussion of the cases. Besides, the teaching evaluation is also included. It provides a reference for the application and promotion of the case teaching method in training graduate students majoring in agriculture.
