这项工作描述了一项以艺术为基础的活动的实施和评估，该活动激发了本科生的好奇心，拓宽了学生有意义地参与与人类生物学相关的课程内容和概念的方式，并发展了学生更高层次的思维技能，如分析、综合和评估。设计了一项在生物课程中进行艺术分析的活动，旨在激发本科生的好奇心，拓宽大学生有意义地参与课程内容和概念的方式，并培养学生更高层次的思维技能，如分析、综合和评价。为了满足这些学习成果，该活动有三个关键组成部分：准备阅读、参观美术馆期间对艺术的第一手视觉分析，以及分析的交流。在介绍了视觉分析的方法之后，学生们分成小组，通过生物学的学科镜头检查了大约12件以某种方式与爱有关的原创艺术品。然后，这些团体开发并向班级成员展示了几件作品的迷你展览，以解决以下两个问题之一：1)艺术中对爱的描绘是否与人们对爱的生物学日益加深的理解一致；2)爱的身体体验是否普遍存在，或者，是否像抑郁症的体验一样，受到文化的影响。对定量和定性评估数据的评估显示，这项任务吸引了学生，支持了更高层次思维技能的发展，并促进了对课程材料的有意义的参与。
This work describes implementation and assessment of an art-based activity that piques undergraduates' curiosity, broadens the ways in which students meaningfully engage with course content and concepts related to human biology, and develops aspects of students' higher-level thinking skills, such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. An activity involving analysis of art in biology courses was designed with the goals of piquing undergraduates’ curiosity, broadening the ways in which college students meaningfully engage with course content and concepts, and developing aspects of students’ higher-level thinking skills, such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. To meet these learning outcomes, the activity had three key components: preparatory readings, firsthand visual analysis of art during a visit to an art museum, and communication of the analysis. Following a presentation on the methodology of visual analysis, students worked in small groups to examine through the disciplinary lens of biology a selection of approximately 12 original artworks related in some manner to love. The groups then developed and presented for class members a mini-exhibition of several pieces addressing one of two questions: 1) whether portrayals of love in art align with the growing understanding of the biology of love or 2) whether the bodily experience of love is universal or, alternatively, is culturally influenced, as is the experience of depression. Evaluation of quantitative and qualitative assessment data revealed that the assignment engaged students, supported development of higher-level thinking skills, and prompted meaningful engagement with course material.
