高中生物技術種子教師培養:以線蟲生物模式提升生物科技之素養(含學生競賽活動)(1/2)

Abstract

本計畫之目的，在於提升目前國內高中生物老師對現代生物學，尤其是生物技術進 展之認知，並藉對線蟲生物模式之認識、研習以及實驗，培養高中生物種子教師， 將線蟲實驗應用於生物教學與實習以培養基本生物科技素養。計畫實行將國內重點 高中分為北、中、南等三區分為三個梯次，由國立台灣大學生命科學系提供空間、 人員以及實驗材料，以線蟲為實驗材料，以兩天之時間使與會學員參與實驗之操作， 以了解這種現代生物學中佔重要角色之模式生物之生活史、生理與遺傳，並期望與 會學員能將這種簡易但重要之模式生物之操作，適切融入高中生物課程與教學之 中，以達到提升國內高中生物科技教育水準之目的，使生物科技向下紮根。

The purpose of this proposal is attempted to improve the modern biological knowledge for high school biology teacher in Taiwan. Training classes are designed to provide basic and practical knowledge about C. elegans, an easy to handle nematode species, to selected high school biology teachers of Taiwan. We offered three separated two-day classes for high school biology teachers from Northern, Central, Southern and Eastern part of Taiwan. Class materials, space for the training and tutors will be offered by the Department of Life Science, National Taiwan University. The participants will discuss the life cycles, physiology and genetics of C. elegans. In the mean time, the participants will obtain basic handling skills for this model system, and also some molecular biology training as well by using this species. In the first year of the proposal, we will hold a proposal contest for the participants for how to integrate C. elegans into the current high school biology education. In the second year, a C. elegans experimental contest for high school students will be hosted by the Department of Life Science, NTU.
