Abstract

Scientific research and instruction are the two fundamental activities carried out by university faculty. Science is like the source of a river and teaching is like its flow. Teaching without the support of scientific research will lose its soul. Instructors who are engaged in scientific research have a deeper understanding of what they are going to impart. They can extract more useful knowledge, views and theories for students to learn. The combination of scientific research and teaching will benefit the training of innovative scholars. Implementation of research-based teaching reform based on the principle of “driving teaching by scientific research, deepening scientific research by teaching” will help develop a complementary system of teaching and scientific research in the teaching practice of bioinformatics courses. The results show that students acquired new knowledge more effectively in courses that incorporated active, inquiry-based, and collaborative learning, assisted with information technology, in comparison with traditional courses.
