Abstract :
Practical education of biostatistics is an important way of changing abstract theories into lively and operable methods. There are many problems in practical education of biostatistics in Colleges. How to reform the practical education of biostatistics is very important for improving students´ quality. In this paper, a survey with stratified sampling was taken to investigate the way of practice, tools of data analysis and final reviews in the practical education of biostatistics. The result showed that more exercisable and field experiments should be arranged in the reformation of practical education of biostatistics. Questionnaire survey should be taken timely in instruction. Teachers should reform the contents of courses and tools of data analysis in time according to the requirements of students, so that most students could apply theory into practice, final review was good for students to understand the knowledge. Besides, teachers should improve their qualities while teaching and reforming because they affected students in many respects.
