Presentation|玩转科学,理科生的课堂汇报是这样子的!
走进美容院,重复多次注射完“医生”口中所谓的“让人变美的肉毒素”后,客人逐渐发现身体不适。此刻,“医生”突然冷笑,脱下白大褂,露出写有“肉毒杆菌”字样的衣服,说道:愚蠢的人类,看清楚了,我可不是你的医生,我是你们亲爱的“好朋友”肉毒杆菌!小心我释放的肉毒素,但凡使用不规范,只需微量,就可以让你从这个世界上永远地消失!
你没搞错,这是广东以色列理工学院《食品与微生物》专业课的课堂——生物技术与食品工程专业大三学生分组围绕“细菌大作战”主题进行课堂汇报。
这是一场特别的汇报,同学们展示的不仅是对理论知识的掌握程度,还有他们的科学素养、创新水平、协作程度等综合素质。Yigal Achmon教授提供了包括沙门氏菌、肉毒杆菌、幽门螺杆菌、霍乱弧菌等8种细菌作为汇报细分主题,学生随机组队,围绕抽签选中的细菌收集资料,最终通过课堂汇报的形式,向评委力证其小组所选中的细菌是“世界上最糟糕的细菌”。
汇报当天,Yigal Achmon教授邀请了Dganit Danino教授、梁嘉言教授、Harold Corke教授、Alex Samusev博士等12位老师担任评委,现场对学生的汇报进行提问并评分。
当创意遇上科学,会迸发出什么火花呢?同学们奇思妙想,线下录制新闻视频、现场表演小品,生动展示细菌的基础特征、病症、传播方式、危害——变身记者,走进电视台播报细菌新闻;扮演医生,走进诊所向患者讲解细菌知识。在进行创意展示的同时,他们秉持科学态度,查阅大量资料,引用具体的数据和事实进行说明。
“你们认为霍乱弧菌哪个特性使其成为世界上最糟糕的细菌?”、“为什么金黄色葡萄球菌对食品行业影响如此巨大,哪种类型的食品容易受该细菌感染?”、“你们刚刚讨论了沙门氏菌对抗生素的耐药性,那么你们如何治疗受该细菌感染的病患?”提问环节,评委们抛出了许多犀利的问题,同学们一一作答。最后,由李凌珑等7位同学组成的小组获得冠军。
“很高兴能够以更多元的表现形式进行汇报,在提供给听众专业知识的同时,满足他们对新鲜感和创意的要求。”余逸然同学说道。黄宸维同学表示,在比赛中取得好成绩固然开心,但对他而言最有价值的部分是通过团队合作、互相学习提高交流与创新能力。正如Yigal Achmon教授所说,采用课堂汇报的方式,目的是培养学生的创造力、团队协作能力以及科学素养。在学生们今后求职面试、工作汇报等许多节点,创意都扮演着非常重要的角色。在他看来,同学们这次的展示非常精彩。“当你觉得这个小组一定是最棒的时候,下一个小组又会带来诸多惊喜,用他们的专业性、创造力征服你。”他期待同学们可以通过这次的汇报提高向公众传播科学知识的技能。
Welcome to the GTIIT Food and Microbiology course. Year 3 students from Biotechnology and Food Engineering were giving group presentations based on the topic of the Battle of Bacteria.
This was a special report, which showed not only their command of theoretical knowledge but also their scientific literacy, innovation and teamwork spirits. Asst. Prof. Yigal Achmon provided eight kinds of bacteria including Salmonella, Clostridium botulinum, Helicobacter pylori, Vibrio cholera, etc. as the report subdivision topics. Students were randomly divided into eight groups to collect information based on the bacteria they selected by the drawing lots, and report to the judges to prove that the bacteria selected by his team was the worst one in the world.
Twelve teachers including Prof. Dganit Danino, Prof. Leng Kayin, Prof. Harold Corke and Dr. Alex Samusev were invited as judges to ask questions and score students' presentations based on their comprehensive performance.
The students have wonderful thinking. They recorded news videos offline and performed live to show the general characteristics, transmission, and harm of bacteria. Some of them acted as reporters, broadcasting bacteria news at the TV station; another group played as doctors, introducing bacteria knowledge at the clinic. In their presentations, they collected a large amount of information and quote accurate data and evidence to better explain their argument with scientific attitude.
'Which characteristic that makes Vibrio cholera the worst bacteria in the world?' 'Why does Staphylococcus aureus have such a big impact on food industry and what types of food are susceptible to bacterial infection?' 'You just mentioned about the antibiotic resistance of Salmonella, then how do you treat the patients infected with these bacteria?' During the Q&A session, the judges raised many tough questions and the students answered them one by one. Finally, a group consisting of 7 students including Li Linglong won the championship.
"We manage to make our presentation both academic and intriguing, and are very happy to see our effort worked," said Yu Yiran. "I am pleased to get a good result in this presentation, but what is more valuable to me is the communication skills and innovation I developed through teamwork and mutual learning," said Huang Chenwei.
As Yigal Achmon said, this presentation aims to cultivate students' creativity, teamwork and scientific literacy. Creativity plays a very important role in their future, such as a job interview or presentations in a company. He added that they all did a good job. "Each team was very creative and professional, bringing me many surprises." He hoped that the students can also improve their scientific dissemination skills through this presentation.
