可视化是所有学习和研究分子和细胞生物科学的学生和生物化学家的基本技能。在这项研究中，我们讨论了可视化在生物化学教育中的性质和重要性，并认为应该明确地向学生传授视觉素养和使用可视化工具的技能，作为所有生物化学课程的重要组成部分。我们认为，尽管大量的静态、动态和多媒体的视觉展示继续以指数级的速度充斥着现代教育资源，但目前对生物化学教育的这一重要组成部分的教学关注很少。基于其他科学教育领域的精选研究成果和我们自己在生物化学教育方面的研究经验，我们提出了10条基本指导方针，以促进分子和细胞生物科学专业学生的可视化和视觉素养。
Visualization is an essential skill for all students and biochemists studying and researching the molecular and cellular biosciences. In this study, we discuss the nature and importance of visualization in biochemistry education and argue that students should be explicitly taught visual literacy and the skills for using visualization tools as essential components of all biochemistry curricula. We suggest that, at present, very little pedagogical attention has been given to this vital component of biochemistry education, although a large diversity of static, dynamic, and multimedia visual displays continues to flood modern educational resources at an exponential rate. Based on selected research findings from other science education domains and our own research experience in biochemistry education, 10 fundamental guidelines are proposed for the promotion of visualization and visual literacy among students studying in the molecular and cellular biosciences.
