Objective　To understand the basic experimental teaching of functional science in order to promote transformative learning. Methods　Random sampling questionnaire survey was con-ducted among 274 students （2011 grade， 5-year-program） majored in clinical medicine， medical lab-oratory and medical imaging in Kunming Medical University. Investigation primarily aimed at the stu-dents' learning attitude， learning objectives， and teaching content. Excel 2003 was used for data en-try， percentage of each questionnaire option was calculated and the findings were directly described. Results　94.76%（253/267） students preferred basic experiment； 82.40%（220/267） students hoped to open long term laboratory； 97.38%（260/267） students thought that basic experiment could help pro-mote understanding and theoretical knowledge of physiology； 98.50%（262/267） students thought the explain of the basic theories and the operation prior to each experiment were good； 78.27%（209/267）students were willing to strengthen the basic operation while only 59.18%（158/267） students would like to analyze the experiment results. Conclusions　Basic experiment of functional science is wel-comed by students. Due to the lack of independent thinking ability of students， experiment course should de designed to promote interest-oriented transformative learning and to culture transformation perspective， finally achieving the transformative learning.
