Incorporation of classical scientific research stories into traditional lecture classes to promote the active learning of students

Abstract

Biochemistry is an important curriculum for all medical students but has long been considered obscure and of very little or indirect relevance to medical or clinical practice, which markedly diminishes the enthusiasm and motivation of medical students in learning. Biochemistry teachers always face a tremen-

A low‐cost cure for CUREs: An undergraduate microbiology course engaging students in authentic research using publicly available datasets

“…These results are consistent with past studies examining how access to research experiences and mentorship can deeply impact students' retention in STEM, and how personal career stories from scientists can impact feelings of belonging in STEM, especially if the scientists share common features of the students' backgrounds 5,7,21,22 . Using popular science books and highlighting stories of classic experiments have also both been shown to foster students' interest and curiosity in research and science careers 23,24 …”

Survey analysis and discussion on cultivating scientific research quality among undergraduates in medical colleges

“…While experimenting, students may develop the ability to discover problems on their initiative, think independently, and use their knowledge flexibly to answer questions. The university or department can also invite senior scholars or experts from home and abroad to deliver lectures and conduct “lecture hall” activities to introduce students to the latest academic developments and scientific achievements in professional research, answer student's questions about the profession, and generally guide students, with the aims of piquing their interest and stimulating their creativity 8 . Through participation in research experiments, students are exposed to the research process and may master basic experimental techniques, which will, in turn, help them to develop the ability to identify and solve problems, as well as adopt a favorable attitude toward research.…”

A Novel Undergraduate Seminar Course Celebrating Scientific Contributions by Scientists from Historically Marginalized Communities

“…For example, while we did not encounter in the literature any other examples of full 3-credit courses with our main theme, we did find syllabi for two different 1-unit freshman seminar courses that highlighted scientific discoveries made by scientists from historically marginalized groups ( 21 , 22 ). Full 3-credit courses do exist that are focused on women in science ( 23 , 24 ), and full 3-credit courses also exist that are focused on highlighting scientific discoveries, although not with the focus on scientists from HMCs ( 25 , 26 ).…”
