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) 该提案的目标是通过让本科生创建和呈现生化结构和过程的详细三维分子图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多种职业中理解分子结构并与之互动。为了实现这一目标，kinemage作者身份被引入两门生物化学课程中，一门针对生物化学及相关领域的专业，另一门针对其他领域的科学专业。学生准备并展示课程中涵盖的主题的运动图像，并进行同伴和教师的评估。作为有效性评估的一部分，课程中的每次考试都包含运动学部分。在课程工作的同时，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，以进一步方便该级别的教师和学生使用。根据结合软件和教学法开发的经验进行完善后，这些材料以电子方式和通过研讨会进行传播。本科生运动图像作者框架的开发可以作为各种规模和学生作品的生物化学课程中基于探究的分子结构学习的国家模型。
