Chemistry (12)The goal of this proposal is to increase the three-dimensional molecular literacy of undergraduate students by having them create and present detailed three-dimensional molecular illustrations of biochemical structures and processes. These illustrations are used as the bases of inquiry-based projects designed to help prepare the students to understand and interact with molecular structures in graduate school as well as in careers as diverse as biotechnology, molecular medicine, forensics and high school teaching. To accomplish this goal, kinemage authorship is introduced into two biochemistry courses, one for majors in biochemistry and related fields, and one for science majors in other fields. Students prepare and present kinemages on topics covered in the classes, with both peer and instructor evaluation. As part of the assessment of effectiveness, a kinemage component is included in each examination in the courses. Concurrent with the curriculum efforts, the PREKIN (kinemage authoring) and MAGE (kinemage viewing) programs and documentation are being developed under the supervision of the software author to further facilitate ease of use by both teachers and students at this level. After refinement based on this experience of combined software and pedagogy development, the materials are disseminated electronically and via workshops. The development of a framework for undergraduate kinemage authorship serves as a national model for inquiry-based learning of molecular structure in biochemistry classes of all sizes and student compositions.

化学（12）本提案的目标是通过让本科生创建和呈现详细的生化结构和过程的三维分子图来提高本科生的三维分子素养。这些插图被用作探究式项目的基础，旨在帮助学生在研究生院以及生物技术，分子医学，法医学和高中教学等各种职业中理解和互动分子结构。为了实现这一目标，动态图像作者引入两个生物化学课程，一个是生物化学及相关领域的专业，一个是其他领域的理科专业。学生准备并展示课堂上所涉及主题的动画，同时进行同伴和教师的评价。作为有效性评估的一部分，在课程的每次考试中都包括一个录像内容。在课程设置的同时，在软件作者的监督下，正在开发PREKIN（录像制作）和法师（录像观看）程序和文件，以进一步方便教师和学生在这一级的使用。在综合软件和教学法开发经验的基础上加以改进后，这些材料以电子方式和通过讲习班传播。本科kinemage作者的框架的发展作为一个全国性的模式，以探究为基础的学习的分子结构在各种规模的生物化学类和学生组成。
