在神经科学和其他科学学科中,教师们越来越重视写作的价值。教学生写好文章有助于他们在学校取得成功,这不仅是因为他们在评估中表现得更好,还因为结构良好的写作作业有助于学习。此外,良好的写作能力是一项基本的专业技能,因为良好的清晰写作与良好的清晰思维相结合,可以提高奖学金申请、拨款提案和出版物的成功率。然而,在神经科学课堂上教授写作是具有挑战性的,原因有几个。学生最初可能没有认识到写作的重要性,教师可能缺乏写作教学方法方面的培训,如果要取得进展,教师和学生都必须在写作上投入大量的时间和精力。在这里,我们详细介绍了有效的本科生写作教学策略,包括在班级内和整个课程中搭建教学作业的脚手架;使用不同类型的写作作业;及早将写作融入课程;同行评议和修改作业;由学生导师进行指导;以及使用定义的语汇。我们还讨论了如何在多文化课堂和实验室的背景下有效地利用这些策略。
In neuroscience and other scientific disciplines, instructors increasingly appreciate the value of writing. Teaching students to write well helps them succeed in school, not only because they perform better on assessments but also because well-structured writing assignments improve learning. Moreover, the ability to write well is an essential professional skill, because good clear writing in conjunction with good clear thinking results in increased success in fellowship applications, grant proposals, and publications. However, teaching writing in neuroscience classrooms is challenging for several reasons. Students may not initially recognize the importance of writing, teachers may lack training in the pedagogy of writing instruction, and both teachers and students must commit substantial time and effort to writing if progress is to be made. Here, we detail effective strategies for teaching writing to undergraduates, including scaffolding of teaching assignments, both within a class and across a curriculum; use of different types of writing assignments; early integration of writing into courses; peer review and revision of assignments; mentoring by student tutors; and use of defined rubrics. We also discuss how these strategies can be utilized effectively in the context of multicultural classrooms and labs.
