我们设计、开发并验证了包含 17 个问题的减数分裂概念量表 (Meiosis CI)，以诊断学生对减数分裂这一遗传学基本概念的误解。我们针对大型生物学和遗传学入门课程，并使用已发布的问题开发方法，其中包括通过学生访谈（n = 28）对问题进行验证、学生对问题进行课堂测试（n = 193）以及专家（n = 8）对正确答案的共识。我们的项目分析表明，试题的难度和区分指数与公布的推荐标准一致，并有效区分了高分和低分学生。我们预计其他机构将使用减数分裂 CI 作为诊断工具和评估教学效果和学生进步的工具，并邀请教师访问 http://q4b.biology.ubc.ca 了解更多信息。
We have designed, developed, and validated a 17-question Meiosis Concept Inventory (Meiosis CI) to diagnose student misconceptions on meiosis, which is a fundamental concept in genetics. We targeted large introductory biology and genetics courses and used published methodology for question development, which included the validation of questions by student interviews (n = 28), in-class testing of the questions by students (n = 193), and expert (n = 8) consensus on the correct answers. Our item analysis showed that the questions' difficulty and discrimination indices were in agreement with published recommended standards and discriminated effectively between highand low-scoring students. We foresee other institutions using the Meiosis CI as both a diagnostic tool and an instrument to assess teaching effectiveness and student progress, and invite instructors to visit http://q4b.biology.ubc.ca for more information.
