Abstract

Biotechnology education is currently experiencing a significant shift from conventional theoretical instruction to more dynamic, practice-based learning approaches. This review examines innovative teaching methods that integrate academic learning with real-world application, emphasizing the importance of experiential learning in fostering scientific innovation and technological progress. The review highlights how hands-on experiences, such as laboratory work, project-based learning, and industry collaborations, play a pivotal role in enhancing students’ understanding of biotechnological concepts. These strategies not only deepen their theoretical knowledge but also equip them with the practical skills required for real-world problem-solving. The integration of practice-oriented methodologies encourages the development of scientific creativity, critical thinking, and technical competencies, which are essential for driving advancements in the field. Furthermore, this approach helps bridge the gap between academic knowledge and industry needs, ensuring that graduates are wellprepared for the demands of the biotechnology sector. By fostering an environment where students can apply their theoretical understanding in practical contexts, biotechnology education is evolving to produce more skilled and innovative professionals. This transformation is essential to meet the growing demand for biotechnological solutions in addressing global challenges across sectors such as healthcare, agriculture, and environmental sustainability.
