A Study on the Reform of Teaching Methods for the Course Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in the Digital and Intelligent Era

Abstract

In the biomedical engineering talent development system, biochemistry and molecular biology serve as core bridge courses connecting basic medical science with engineering technology; the quality of their instruction directly impacts students’ professional competence and innovative capabilities. Addressing prominent issues in traditional teaching—such as difficulties in visualizing molecular mechanisms, delays in updating course content, and a lack of diversity in assessment methods—this paper proposes a reform plan for course instruction driven by digital and intelligent technologies. By developing digital resources such as a dynamic 3D molecular structure visualization library and a virtual simulation experiment platform, and by designing intelligent teaching models that incorporate AI-assisted personalized learning and real-time data feedback, this study innovates the use of blended virtual-physical experiments and bioinformatics tools to facilitate a transition from “knowledge transmission” to “competency development”. This research provides theoretical references and practical pathways for curriculum reform in pharmacy and biomedical engineering programs.
