1, Biology course Structural System

In 1959, Bruner (Jerome S. Bruner) in the “education process” made his Constructivist ideas. He claims: “Regardless of what we choose to teach discipline, be sure to enable students to understand the basic structure of discipline, learning the structure is learning how things are interrelated.” Since then, the curriculum should be structured as curriculum experts and the common pursuit.

(A) course content and structure of biological need for system reform

The traditional high school biology courses fundamental features of life to organize content, which is the traditional structure of the general biology subjects. However, we must now consider two questions. The first modern course curriculum to reflect on that subject system, but not identical to the discipline system. It addition to considering the disciplinary system, but also consider their cognitive development and social needs. Biological disciplines including the fact that concepts, principles and laws of the composition of the theoretical system and its underlying ideas and methods of discipline. Therefore, the biological courses both theoretical system of knowledge construction can also be constructed according to ideas and methods of discipline, both have their own rationality. The second half of the 20th century occurred in “biological revolution” to biology “paradigm” has changed. Kuhn (TSKuhn) in “Structure of Scientific Revolutions,” the book said: “The scientific revolution, textbooks, and they made the historical tradition must be rewritten.” For example, the late Mr. Chen Yuezeng editor of the “general biology” to break the traditional academic system in general biology, according to the contemporary life sciences from the micro to the macro-development, “according to the main structure of life level, from low to high-level arrangements. “[1]

(B) Building structural system biology curriculum ideas

Course content and structure based System, is the logical relationship between course content and the relationship between psychology. Logic means the intrinsic link between academic knowledge, the relationship between psychology editors understand that in accordance with the development of student understanding, the course content to organizations. Of the science curriculum, the general tendency is to take the logical structure of senior system in the lower grades in psychology, the main structure of the system. Our curriculum has always been concerned about the knowledge system, establishment of high school biology curriculum ideas, according to China’s national conditions and can only take the former.

Construction of a logical relationship between curriculum, but also have different methods, such as: (1) can be the method of formal logic to determine the number of scientific facts or concepts as a logical starting point, through axiomatic deductive reasoning to build a system. This method in physics, chemistry used more, and on the biology curriculum, the “standard” for the first time included the concept of curriculum objectives, “Standard” in “Genetics and Evolution” content, but also the main building in a similar way . However, the complexity of living systems and biological phenomena, the uncertainty in order to build knowledge of formal logic can only be applied to a small number of areas of biological science. (2) the theory of evolution is undoubtedly one of the largest life science unified theory of the mechanism of evolution of life not only to trace the long history of covering a variety of biological evolution and the Origin of Life takeover, but also can present all the phenomena of life instructions are given. My 50 years in the 20th century, set up in high school, “Darwinism Foundation”, hitu to build biological evolution as a framework curriculum. However, evolution is far from mature, resulting in the dominant philosophy of biology course by entering a non-scientific way. (3) the development of modern biology, the formation of a systems biology (Systems Biology). The nature of life, biologists are long on energy and reduction of disputes. After 30 years of the 20th century, the scientific community on the essence of life made new understanding is that the system of the body. In 1952, the Austrian-American biologist, founder of the system of Von Bertalanffy (LVBartalanffy) published the English version of “life issues – Evaluation of Modern Biological Thought”, put forward the basic principles of body systems: general theory ( organization theory), dynamic theory, self theory. These principles 表明: biological organism a unique organizational system, its individual parts and individual events to the overall conditions, Zunxun system Guilv; life of an organism resulting from Lian Xu Jie Gou flow process with adjustment and adaptation capacity; life is an organism with independent activity of the system [2]. In 1968, Bertalanffy again in this book, based on further written as “general systems theory – the basis of the development, application”, the creation of a system of biology has thus developed a “systems biology.” An important aspect of systems biology is the use of systems concepts, systems thinking and systems approach to understanding biology, re-integration of the existing knowledge of biological science. This has become a “biological revolution” one of the elements, the international community called the “method of using systems biology revolution.” “Steady-state and the environment” module of the knowledge structure is to build the idea of systems biology.
