Apart from classroom presentations to their instructors and peer groups, STEM students have limited opportunities or encouragement to engage in guided communication of scientific concepts to others (family, friends, or the general public). A critical need exists for accurate, comprehensible science to be disseminated to these groups. To develop student proficiency in communication of complex biomolecular concepts impacting diverse audiences, I introduce learning approaches and assessments easily adapted to fit the needs of individual instructors and any molecular biology or biochemistry laboratory or lecture course in a remote/online environment. To help students develop an appreciation of the needs of different audiences and the nuanced drivers of clear communication, I provided them the choice of projects of similar length: Option (1) Create a scientific news release and short podcast or video clip newscast describing a recent advancement in understanding the molecular/biochemical basis of a disease; or Option (2) Create a lesson plan and mini-video designed to teach a simple biochemical or molecular mechanism of disease with learning objectives, a brief activity, and appropriate assessment mechanisms. Students who chose the scientific news release/newscast activity distilled complex biomolecular concepts using the 5 W's of journalism-who, what, where, why, when-and learned to accurately communicate the relevance of advanced scientific discoveries and recent events for a broader audience. Students who chose the lesson plan designed activities centered on biomolecular science concepts that build upon what their audience already knows, revealing possibilities for undergraduates to contribute to educational outreach to secondary school teachers and classes.

译文

除了向教师和同伴小组进行课堂演讲外,STEM学生参与与他人 (家人,朋友或公众) 进行有指导的科学概念交流的机会或鼓励有限。迫切需要将准确,可理解的科学传播给这些群体。为了培养学生对影响不同受众的复杂生物分子概念的沟通能力,我介绍了易于适应的学习方法和评估,以适应个别讲师和任何分子生物学或生物化学实验室或远程/在线环境中的讲座课程的需求。为了帮助学生了解不同受众的需求以及清晰沟通的细微差别,我为他们提供了相似长度的项目选择: 选项 (1) 创建科学新闻发布和简短的播客或视频剪辑新闻广播,描述在理解疾病的分子/生化基础方面的最新进展; 或选项 (2) 创建课程计划和迷你视频,旨在教授具有学习目标的疾病的简单生化或分子机制,简短的活动和适当的评估机制。选择科学新闻发布/新闻广播活动的学生使用新闻业的5 w提炼了复杂的生物分子概念-谁,什么,为什么,什么时候-并学会了准确传达先进科学发现和最近事件的相关性更广泛的受众。选择课程计划的学生设计的活动以生物分子科学概念为中心,这些概念建立在听众已经知道的基础上,揭示了本科生为中学教师和班级的教育推广做出贡献的可能性。
