摘要

许多学科的研究人员通常会撰写非专业摘要,将技术性的科学概念转化为普通受众能够理解的语言。在我们的一年级生物学入门课程中,我们采用了 "从写到学 "的教学法,将非专业摘要式写作作业融入其中,鼓励学生用自己的语言解释一篇期刊论文的主要结果,我们称这种形式为 "博客式"。我们选择使用这种形式,是为了让学生集中精力理解、定义和解释关键的科学术语,而不是重复专业术语。学生们在学期开始时选择并阅读一篇与生物技术主题相关的科学期刊文章,并在整个学期中完成指导他们阅读文章的工作表。我们还举办了课上研讨会,重点讨论阅读期刊论文的最佳实践、如何为普通读者写作以及如何避免抄袭。然后,学生们撰写了两页通俗易懂的摘要,重点介绍了所读文章的一些主要发现。通过这项作业,许多学生写出了引人入胜、文笔优美的论文,让他们展示了对文章中一些专业术语和概念的深刻理解。

In Layman’s Terms
Lay summaries are commonly written by researchers in many disciplines to translate technical scientific concepts into language that can be understood by general audiences. In our first-year introductory biology course, we employed a write-to-learn pedagogy by incorporating a lay summary-style writing assignment that encouraged students to explain the major results of a journal article in their own words, a format we referred to as “blog-style” for our students. We chose to use this format to allow students to focus on understanding, defining and explaining key scientific terminology, without regurgitating technical jargon. Students selected and read a scientific journal article connected to a biotechnology topic at the start of the semester and were given worksheets to complete throughout the semester that guided them in the reading of their article. We also offered in-class workshops that focused on best practices for reading journal articles, how to write for a general audience, and how to avoid plagiarism. Students then composed two-page, lay style summaries highlighting some of the key findings of the articles that they read. This assignment resulted in many students producing engaging, well-written papers that allowed them to demonstrate meaningful understanding of some of the technical terminology and concepts in their articles.
