实验室环境是一个令人兴奋和令人满意的教学场所，因为你可以通过动手活动积极地让学生参与到学习过程中；这是一个适合协作工作、批判性思维、解决问题和发现问题的动态环境。这里描述的指导性的基于探究的方法引导学生以稳定的步伐完成他们的实验室工作，鼓励他们专注于高质量的观察、仔细的数据收集和围绕所涉及的化学的思维过程。它激励学生以合作的方式工作，并经常有机会反馈、反思和修改他们的想法。每个实验活动都有四个阶段来保持学生的努力：实验前工作、实验室内讨论、实验室内工作和实验后作业。在每个阶段，学生都会通过教师创建的模板进行指导，该模板可以指导他们的学习，同时为他们提供探索新信息、新想法和新问题的机会和灵活性。这些模板可以很容易地转换成电子期刊(称为电子笔记本)，并形成学生通过学习管理系统以电子方式提交的最终实验报告的基本结构框架。这里提出的基于引导式探究的方法以本科生生物化学入门的单一实验室活动为例。在实施这一指导性学习方法后，学生调查报告了更高的课程满意度水平，学生工作质量在统计上有了显着改善。因此，我们坚信所描述的模式在促进学生的学习和参与方面是非常有效的。(C)2013，国际生物化学和分子生物学联合会，42(1)：58-67,2014。
The laboratory setting is an exciting and gratifying place to teach because you can actively engage the students in the learning process through hands-on activities; it is a dynamic environment amenable to collaborative work, critical thinking, problem-solving and discovery. The guided inquiry-based approach described here guides the students through their laboratory work at a steady pace that encourages them to focus on quality observations, careful data collection and thought processes surrounding the chemistry involved. It motivates students to work in a collaborative manner with frequent opportunities for feedback, reflection, and modification of their ideas. Each laboratory activity has four stages to keep the students' efforts on track: pre-lab work, an in-lab discussion, in-lab work, and a post-lab assignment. Students are guided at each stage by an instructor created template that directs their learning while giving them the opportunity and flexibility to explore new information, ideas, and questions. These templates are easily transferred into an electronic journal (termed the E-notebook) and form the basic structural framework of the final lab reports the students submit electronically, via a learning management system. The guided-inquiry based approach presented here uses a single laboratory activity for undergraduate Introductory Biochemistry as an example. After implementation of this guided learning approach student surveys reported a higher level of course satisfaction and there was a statistically significant improvement in the quality of the student work. Therefore we firmly believe the described format to be highly effective in promoting student learning and engagement.
