Thinking on your feet: potentially enhancing phylogenetic tree learning accessibility through a kinaesthetic approach [0.03%]
妙手生花:通过体验式方法提高谱系树学习的可访问性思考
Telma G Laurentino,Meike Scheller,Gillian Glover et al.
Telma G Laurentino et al.
Background: Phylogenetics is one of the main methodologies to understand cross-cutting principles of evolution, such as common ancestry and speciation. Phylogenetic trees, however, are reportedly challenging to teach and ...
An interdisciplinary course on evolution and sustainability increases acceptance of evolutionary theory and increases understanding of interdisciplinary application of evolutionary theory [0.03%]
一个关于进化与可持续性的跨学科课程增加了对进化理论的认可,并增强了对进化理论跨学科应用的理解
Scott A Kreher,Ellen McManus
Scott A Kreher
Background: Although evolutionary theory is foundational and integrative in modern biology, there remains widespread lack of acceptance among U.S. residents. An interdisciplinary approach to teaching evolutionary theory a...
How and why we should move beyond natural selection in museums to tackle teleology [0.03%]
博物馆如何及为何应该超越自然选择以应对目的论的问题
Shelley L Smith
Shelley L Smith
Background: Museum displays commonly use a "VIST" approach (Variation, Inheritance, Selection, and Time) to explain evolution to visitors. I contend that this framework, by focusing narrowly on natural selection, unintent...
Making evolution stick: using sticky notes to teach the mechanisms of evolutionary change [0.03%]
让进化理论深入人心:运用便利贴教授进化的机制

Teresa W Lee
Evolution and its mechanisms of action are concepts that unite all aspects of biology, but remain some of the most difficult for students to understand. To address this challenge, we designed a hands-on activity that introduces fundamental ...
The history and organization of the Workshop on Population and Speciation Genomics [0.03%]

Julia M I Barth et al.
With the advent of high-throughput genome sequencing, bioinformatics training has become essential for research in evolutionary biology and related fields. However, individual research groups are often not in the position to teach students ...
Reconsidering the goals of evolution education: defining evolution and evolutionary literacy [0.03%]
重新思考进化教育的目标:定义进化和进化素养

Kostas Kampourakis
In this paper, I argue that for both theoretical and practical purposes, it is useful for science education to clearly distinguish between science content knowledge and skills on the one hand, and the competencies related to their applicati...
Scientists benefit greatly from K-12 partnerships: the Panama Research Experiences for Teachers project [0.03%]
科学家们从与中小学的合作中获益匪浅:巴拿马教师科研经历项目

Daniel G Ferguson et al.
Background: Many students enter science classrooms with misconceptions about scientific principles. One of the most perceived controversial scientific principle for students is evolution. Students struggle to learn and ac...
Analyzing pre-service biology teachers' intention to teach evolution using the theory of planned behavior [0.03%]
利用计划行为理论分析即将成为生物教师者的进化论教学意向
Helena Aptyka,Jörg Großschedl
Helena Aptyka
Background: Even though evolution is the overarching principle that connects all areas of biology, a significant proportion of pre-service teachers do not intend to teach evolution, minimize the teaching of evolution, or ...
Genie: an interactive real-time simulation for teaching genetic drift [0.03%]

Andreina I Castillo,Ben H Roos,Michael S Rosenberg et al.
Andreina I Castillo et al.
Neutral evolution is a fundamental concept in evolutionary biology but teaching this and other non-adaptive concepts is especially challenging. Here we present Genie, a browser-based educational tool that demonstrates population-genetic con...
