Beyond the Central Dogma: Model-Based Learning of How Genes Determine Phenotypes.

CBE life sciences education - 1 Jan 2016

Reinagel Adam, Bray Speth Elena

Abstract excerpt

In an introductory biology course, we implemented a learner-centered, model-based pedagogy that frequently engaged students in building conceptual models to explain how genes determine phenotypes. Model-building tasks were incorporated within case studies and aimed at eliciting students' understanding of 1) the origin of variation in a population and 2) how genes/alleles determine phenotypes. Guided by theory on...
