Deepening Undergraduate Students’ Thinking about Central Dogma through Problem-Based Learning

Katherine Alberta Sharp,
Rebecca McNall Krall,
Jeffrey Chalfant

Abstract: A common belief among pre-medical and medical students is that biochemistry is not relevant to practicing medicine. The problem-based approach of case studies has been used in medical education to scaffold the application of content to clinical cases, but few studies report on a similar use in undergraduate biochemistry. Case studies in biochemistry and related disciplines have been previously reported as increasing learning motivation and supporting depth of knowledge. Additionally, students engaging in case … Show more

“…These results will therefore allow students to see the impact of cyclical gene expression on a given phenotype, explore the role of phytohormones in plant defense, and also consider the broader ecological implications of changes in gene expression. Our work thus allows students to forge connections between these broader biological concepts, and instructors can follow up this curriculum with other related activities that promote deeper conceptual understanding and connections between different biological concepts (e.g., 24 , 25 ).…”
