Abstract

Facing with the increasingly prominent global environmental protection problems, green teaching, as the basis of global sustainable development, has been advocated in China. Especially green experimental teaching have been carried out in most majors with outstanding environmental protection issues in China’s higher teaching. However, current literature shows that, except for the pollution-related experiment such as biochemistry and chemical engineering, other majors attach less importance to green experiment teaching, which is due to people’s insufficient cognition of generalized green experiment. To make full use of resources, deal with pollutants rationally, and improve green experimental effect, based on the universal requirements of green experimental teaching, for protecting the ecological environment of experimental teaching, research on the influencing factors and driving performance of green experiments in group collaboration is proposed. Firstly, through questionnaire survey, the influencing factors of group green cooperation experiment are analyzed. Secondly, its model is further established based on system dynamics. Finally, simulation on the model should be carried out by Vensim PLE software for the green experiment teaching. The findings suggest that, group is a better way to carry out green experiment effectively in colleges and universities. It should be emphasized that the key to popularize green experiment teaching in colleges and universities is to master the group green cooperation features and the green management ability of laboratory managers. In other words, the performance of group green collaborative experiments is mainly driven by the features of group green collaboration and the green teaching management capabilities of laboratory managers. Specially, we should be careful of the consistency between the collaboration characteristics of the experimental group and the green management ability, otherwise it is easy to conflict in the concept, specific operation and other aspects, resulting in inefficient green experiments. At the same time, the group’s green cooperation features are limited by its cooperation conditions and are subject to it. Moreover, we also need to identify that laboratory managers’ experimental organization capabilities are not equal to their green experimental management capabilities, too rigid experimental management is not conducive to play the performance driving role of green experimental management. The paper aims to provide some theoretical references for developing China’s higher green experimental teaching performance through green experimental management mechanisms.
