Abstract :
The paper analyses the main problems which take place in current experimental teaching methods and reviews some research on experimental teaching reform. Based on long-term teaching practices, we find that combining scientific research projects with experimental teaching has a significant impact on teaching effects and can greatly improve students´ interest in experiments. Therefore, several effective improvements are proposed, including combining experiments with scientific research, applying multimedia network technology and establishing virtual experimental systems. Finally the assessment of students´ attitudes is conducted in the form of a questionnaire and the result shows that the approaches are all positive.
