Exploration on the Open Mode of Large-scale Instruments for Promoting Students' Innovative and Practical Ability

Abstract

Many colleges and universities are faced with the problems of the low use rate of large experimental instruments and improving the students' innovative practical ability which can be well solved by using large-scale instruments in open laboratories. Through the analysis of the common problems existing in the practice course of college students and the current situation of the large-scale instruments used in the testing experiment in our university, the necessity and significance of opening large-scale instruments in the laboratory are concluded. It is proposed that the use efficiency of large-scale instruments can be improved by three modes: students participating in teachers' scientific research projects, schools providing financial support for students to complete self-designed projects and students' graduation practice and graduation thesis with large instruments. As a result, students' practical and scientific research innovation ability can be reached. Keywords—large-scale instrument; laboratory; innovation ability; practical ability In recent years, occupational health problems have become more prominent in China, and the occupational health situation has become increasingly severe so that it attract much the attention of the state, and the demand for occupational health professionals in the society is increasing. Occupational health is a highly practical discipline, and at the same time, the state's requirements for the practical innovation ability of undergraduate students in applied colleges are increasing. Occupational hazard testing is an important part of the occupational health direction. It is practical and has a wide range of applications to someone who engaged in scientific research, or enter into enterprises, or monitoring and testing institutions. However, occupational hazard testing requires a large number of large-scale instruments, which are expensive, complicated to operate, and have extremely low open utilization rates for undergraduates. How to improve the utilization efficiency of large-scale instruments and cultivate students' practical and innovative ability is a problem faced by many colleges and universities. I. THE REQUIREMENTS OF SOCIAL NEEDS FOR THE CULTIVATION OF STUDENTS' PRACTICAL ABILITY AND THE PROBLEMS EXISTING IN THE PRACTICE TEACHING OF COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES A. Requirements for the development of students' practical ability in social demand It is stated clearly by the State Council in the "Decision on Deepening the Education Promotion and Comprehensively Promoting Quality Education": "Higher education should attach importance to cultivating the innovative, practical and entrepreneurial abilities of college students" and requires "strengthening the comprehensiveness and practicality of the curriculum. Experimental teaching, training students' practical ability." One of the missions of this century's education is to cultivate innovative talents with innovative spirit and innovative ability that can promote social development and progress. Employers are also paying more and more attention to the innovation ability and practical ability of college graduates. Strengthening experimental teaching and attaching importance to the cultivation of students' abilities have become the consensus of all universities. Experimental teaching is not only an important link between theory and practice, but more importantly, it is an important way to cultivate students' ability to solve practical problems, self-learning ability, and cultivate innovative spirit and creativity. The facts show that the laboratories of colleges and universities are the base for students to learn scientific knowledge, cite scientific ideas, improve their hands-on ability, and develop innovation. B. Universal Problems in Practice of Colleges and Universities Because of the scarcity of practice places and the high risk of professional nature, the practice links in engineering major can be divided into the following forms: (1) Some students enter practice bases for further practice; (2) Students independently contact the internship unit and complete the internship by themselves; (3) Collective internships, mainly visits; (4) Group in-depth internship.
