Student Authoring of Three-Dimensional Illustrations in Undergraduate Biochemistry

化学(12)这项建议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解来提高他们的三维分子素养。这些插图被用作基于探究的项目的基础，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不同职业中了解分子结构并与之互动。为了实现这一目标，血缘作者被引入了两门生物化学课程，一门是针对生物化学及相关领域的专业，另一门是针对其他领域的理科专业。学生准备并展示课程中所涉及的主题的运动图像，并由同伴和教师进行评估。作为有效性评估的一部分，在课程的每一次考试中都包括一个肢体动作部分。在课程努力的同时，在软件作者的监督下，正在开发PREKIN(运动图像创作)和MAGE(运动图像查看)程序和文档，以进一步促进这一级别的教师和学生的易用性。在结合软件和教育学开发经验的基础上进行改进后，这些材料将通过电子和研讨会进行传播。本科生血缘关系写作框架的开发是各种规模和学生组成的生物化学课堂上以探究为基础的分子结构学习的全国模式。

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.
