四膜虫在基础研究中一直是一个有用的模型，部分原因是它很容易在培养中生长，并且在单个细胞中表现出一系列复杂的过程。出于同样的原因，四膜虫作为生物学基本原理的教学工具在多个科学教育水平上显示出巨大的潜力，可以整合到K-12教室和本科生和研究生学院实验室课程中。这些基于四膜虫的教学模块是基于探究的体验，也有效地教授科学概念，留住学生的科学知识，并激发学生对科学过程的兴趣。已经开发了两个学习社区，利用基于四膜虫的教学模块。推进中等科学教育与四膜虫（ASSET）和纤毛虫基因组学联盟（CGC）分别为K-12学生和大学水平的课程开发了模块。这些模块的范围从解决生态学，分类学和环境毒性的主题到生物化学，蛋白质组学，生物信息学，细胞生物学和分子生物学的更先进的概念。目前的模块及其学习成果的概述进行了讨论，是K-12和大学水平的课程评估，传播和可持续发展战略。
Tetrahymena has been a useful model in basic research in part due to the fact it is easy to grow in culture and exhibits a range of complex processes, all within a single cell. For these same reasons Tetrahymena has shown enormous potential as a teaching tool for fundamental principals of biology at multiple science education levels that can be integrated into K-12 classrooms and undergraduate and graduate college laboratory courses. These Tetrahymena-based teaching modules are inquiry-based experiences that are also effective at teaching scientific concepts, retaining students in science, and exciting students about the scientific process. Two learning communities have been developed that utilize Tetrahymena-based teaching modules. Advancing Secondary Science Education with Tetrahymena (ASSET) and the Ciliate Genomics Consortium (CGC) have developed modules for K-12 students and college level curriculums, respectively. These modules range from addressing topics in ecology, taxonomy, and environmental toxicity to more advanced concepts in biochemistry, proteomics, bioinformatics, cell biology and molecular biology. An overview of the current modules and their learning outcomes are discussed, as are assessment, dissemination, and sustainability strategies for K-12 and college level curriculum.
