Abstract

Ecology experiment is a crucial component of ecology courses. It is the most extensive and effective teaching link for cultivating students' comprehensive qualities such as practice ability, thinking ability and innovation ability, which plays an irreplaceable role in improving students' comprehensive quality. This study analyzed the problems existing in ecological experiments in northern Anhui Province, including the weak ecological knowledge base of students, the single regional habitat, insufficient experimental equipment, traditional teaching methods and single assessment system by taking Suzhou University as an example. This study expounded the practical methods of ecological experiment courses from the aspects of reforming the teaching content, teaching methods, teaching means and examination methods, and put forward some countermeasures. It aims at improving the quality of ecology experiment teaching, enhancing students' practical ability and innovation consciousness, and providing theoretical basis for the cultivation of ecology talents in local applied colleges and universities in northern Anhui Province. Furthermore, this study can also provides a reference for the reform of ecological experimental teaching in similar colleges and universities, which is helpful to promote the overall development of ecological education.
