In order to obtain the satisfactory effect of field practice ,based on the previous teaching practice, the reform of teaching sites, teaching methods,teaching contents and assessment methods of the field practice of zoology in Yangtze Normal University were discussed, so as to provide references for the field practice teaching of zoology in other universities.
