The Development of Biochemistry Laboratories Centered on Hemoglobin

化学（12）。该项目正在开发一个为期两个学期的以项目为导向的生物化学实验室序列，其双重目标是提高学生对科学如何进行的理解，并提高学生将原理应用于新情况的能力。 引导探究实验室序列是围绕一个单一的分子，血红蛋白，提供实验设计的发展技能，以及在独立的，小团队的研究项目的经验的背景。 独立评估采用混合方法设计，由外部评估人员进行评估，包括形成性评估和总结性评估。 这项建议的更广泛的影响是加强化学和生物学教师之间的跨部门合作，并开发一种新的适应，可以作为学生独立研究的准备模式。 这些材料和成果正在地方、区域和国家会议、化学和生物化学教育期刊以及项目网站上传播。

Chemistry (12). This project is developing a two-semester, project-oriented biochemistry laboratory sequence with twin goals of improving students' understanding of how science is conducted and increasing students' ability to apply principles to new situations. The guided-inquiry laboratory sequence is being organized around a single molecule, hemoglobin, to provide the context for developing skills in experimental design as well as an experience in independent, small team research projects. Independent assessment is utilizing a mixed method design with an external evaluator and includes both formative and summative evaluation. The broader impact of this proposal is in enhancing interdepartmental collaborations among chemistry and biology faculty and developing a novel adaptation that can serve as a model for preparing students for independent research. The materials and results are being disseminated at local, regional and national conferences; chemistry and biochemistry educational journals; and at the project web site.
