Abstract
YouTube is a widely recognized video-sharing platform that students often use to search for videos that explain ideas and concepts related to their courses, seminars, or research. With the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, education has undergone a dramatic shift toward virtual learning, leading to a surge in the number of YouTube viewers and video creators. This article discusses the launch of a Spanish-language YouTube channel focused on biochemistry and metabolism, which was found to be useful by the author's students enrolled in Nutritional Biochemistry course at Universidad Científica del Sur, Lima Perú. This innovation has also benefited students and teachers across Peru and other Spanish-speaking countries. Based on this experience, teachers and professionals should be encouraged to share their knowledge on this platform, making it a reliable source of information during challenging situations.
YouTube是一个广受认可的视频共享平台,学生们经常使用它来搜索解释与课程、研讨会或研究相关的想法和概念的视频。随着冠状病毒疫情的爆发,教育向虚拟学习发生了戏剧性的转变,导致YouTube观众和视频创作者的数量激增。这篇文章讨论了一个西班牙语YouTube频道的推出,该频道专注于生物化学和新陈代谢,作者的学生在利马Perú的Científica del Sur大学学习营养生物化学课程时发现该频道很有用。这一创新也使秘鲁和其他西班牙语国家的学生和教师受益。基于这一经验,应鼓励教师和专业人员在该平台上分享他们的知识,使其成为应对挑战的可靠信息来源。
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.
