Abstract

Knowledge about genetics is essential to build a society capable of participating in socioscientific and ethical debates. However, this subject remains difficult for students, making it necessary to develop new educational strategies, such as gamification. Thus, two main objectives are established in this work: (a) to design and evaluate BreakoutEDU, a gamified activity to improve understanding of the content of gene expression; and (b) to study the emotions triggered by this activity among students. Using questionnaires and observation templates, the implementation of BreakoutEDU is evaluated in two groups of first-year high school students (15 and 10 students). The results are analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. Bearing in mind the limitations of this study, it is concluded that the designed BreakoutEDU could support gamification as a good strategy to contextualize and approach the abstract content of gene expression. Moreover, the activity could maintain a balance between time, difficulty and students' skills, encourage teamwork and trigger mainly positive emotions.

高中生了解基因表达的 BreakoutEDU。案例研究:设计、实施和对实施情感的评估。
遗传学知识对于建设一个能够参与社会科学和伦理辩论的社会至关重要。然而,这门学科对学生来说仍然很困难,因此有必要开发新的教育策略,如游戏化。因此,这项工作确立了两个主要目标:(a) 设计和评估 "突围EDU "这一游戏化活动,以加深对基因表达内容的理解;(b) 研究这一活动在学生中引发的情绪。利用调查问卷和观察模板,在两组高中一年级学生(分别为 15 人和 10 人)中对 BreakoutEDU 的实施情况进行评估。对结果进行了定性和定量分析。考虑到本研究的局限性,结论是所设计的 BreakoutEDU 可以支持游戏化,是将基因表达这一抽象内容情境化和接近化的良好策略。此外,该活动可以在时间、难度和学生技能之间保持平衡,鼓励团队合作,并主要引发积极情绪。

期刊介绍: The aim of BAMBED is to enhance teacher preparation and student learning in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and related sciences such as Biophysics and Cell Biology, by promoting the world-wide dissemination of educational materials. BAMBED seeks and communicates articles on many topics, including: Innovative techniques in teaching and learning. New pedagogical approaches. Research in biochemistry and molecular biology education. Reviews on emerging areas of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology to provide background for the preparation of lectures, seminars, student presentations, dissertations, etc. Historical Reviews describing "Paths to Discovery". Novel and proven laboratory experiments that have both skill-building and discovery-based characteristics. Reviews of relevant textbooks, software, and websites. Descriptions of software for educational use. Descriptions of multimedia materials such as tutorials on various aspects of biochemistry and molecular biology.
