在这篇文章中，我们阐述了课程设计的五个原则，并说明了他们的应用在第三年的本科课程环境和生态科学家。通过这种方式，我们为希望提高学生学习的其他人提供了一个实用的框架。为了应用这五项原则，我们创建了一个学习环境，其中包括广泛的学习资源和活动，这些资源和活动都是通过综合评估策略进行结构化和排序的。这确保了我们创建的学习环境，学生使用的思维方法和他们取得的学习成果之间的一致性。更具体地说，评估活动指导学生，要求他们认识到他们的理解是有限的，然后让他们参与思考的方法，将进一步发展他们的理解。通过提供一个思想，想法和信息的框架，我们试图逐步提高我们的学习者的思维的复杂性。因此，评估要求学生以与他们所从事的学科和专业途径相一致的方式整合、综合和构建他们的理解。我们希望这一例证将作为其他学者在教学中采用相同原则的指导。
In this article, we articulate five principles of curriculum design and illustrate their application in a third-year undergraduate course for environmental and ecological scientists. In this way, we provide a practical framework for others wishing to enhance their students' learning. To apply the five principles, we created a learning environment consisting of a broad range of learning resources and activities which were structured and sequenced with an integrated assessment strategy. The combined effect of this ensured alignment between the learning environment we created, the thinking approaches students used and the learning outcomes they achieved. More specifically, the assessment activities guided students by requiring them to recognise when their understanding was limited and then to engage them in thinking approaches that would develop their understanding further. By providing a framework of thoughts, ideas and information, we sought to progressively enhance the sophistication of our learners' thinking. Thus, the assessment required students to integrate, synthesise and construct their understandings in ways consistent with the discipline and the professional pathways on which they had embarked. We intend that this illustration will act as a guide to other academics to adopt the same principles in their teaching.
