まとめ
非専攻者のための生物学学習目標に関するコンセンサスを開発することは非常に重要です。この研究では、学部生の同意におけるギャップに対処し、入門非専攻生物学コースの重要な学習目標(LO)を特定しました。
科学分野:
- 生物学教育;カリキュラム開発
背景:
- 入門生物学専攻には、Vision and Changeの原則に基づいた学習目標が確立されています。ほとんどの学部生が科学専攻ではないにもかかわらず、入門非専攻生物学コースの学習目標に関するコンセンサスが不足しています。
研究 の 目的:
- 入門非専攻生物学コースの学習目標(LO)を開発および評価すること。非専攻生物学教育における明確な学習目標の必要性に対処すること。
主な方法:
- 米国の38人の生物学教員専門家を対象とした修正デルファイ研究。270の提案された学習目標の特定、評価、議論、再評価の3つの反復ラウンド。専門家のフィードバックは、学習目標の重要性、包括性、完全性に焦点を当てました。
主要な成果:
- 評価された学習目標の60.7%(270件中164件)が、非専攻生物学コースにとって重要であると判断されました。専門家は、当初提案されていなかった22の新しい学習目標を特定しました。重要な学習目標のコアセットについて、専門家の間で大きなコンセンサスが得られました。
結論:
- この研究は、入門非専攻生物学のための重要な学習目標のセットを開発および評価することに成功しました。これらの発見は、非専攻生物学教育におけるカリキュラム開発と教員のコンセンサスのための基盤を提供します。特定されたLOは、幅広い学部生に不可欠な生物学的概念が教えられることを保証することを目的としています。

Feedback Regulation of Calcium Concentration
3.9K
Calcium is an essential signaling molecule required for various cellular functions. Calcium pumps and ion channels on cell and organellar membranes, such as those on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), regulate calcium concentrations inside the cell. They remain closed, keeping the cytosolic calcium levels low at a resting state.
Various transmembrane receptors, such as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), elicit a response to extracellular signals by increasing cytosolic calcium. Activated GPCRs...

Introduction to Learning
923
Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge or skills through practice or experience, leading to long-lasting behavioral changes. This acquisition occurs through interaction with the environment and requires practice or experience. For instance, mastering a skill such as surfing requires considerable practice and experience, highlighting the essential role of repeated interactions with the environment in learning.
