Abstract：
Active learning has been shown to improve student outcomes across a range of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines. In addition, active learning with an interdisciplinary focus in the classroom is beneficial for students to pursue health and allied health careers. Case studies have also been shown to enhance student learning. In this study, we utilized a novel learning approach combining a case study with interdisciplinary focus and an active learning exercise that introduced the chemistry of stains and how this relates to staining various organelles and components in a cell. This case study along with active learning exercise (e.g., a card game, group PowerPoint presentations, or coloring organelles or structures in a eukaryotic cell upon staining with a biochemical stain) resulted in improved student performance as well as long-term retention. This activity can be implemented in introductory biology, microbiology, cell biology, and related STEM disciplines (e.g., chemistry, biochemistry).
摘要：
主动学习已被证明可以提高学生在一系列科学中的成绩，技术,工程,数学（STEM）学科。此外,在课堂上进行跨学科的积极学习有利于学生追求健康和专职健康事业。案例研究也被证明可以提高学生的学习能力。在这项研究中,我们利用了一种新颖的学习方法，结合了一个跨学科的案例研究和一个积极的学习练习，介绍了染色剂的化学性质以及这与染色细胞中各种细胞器和成分的关系。本案例研究以及主动学习练习(例如，纸牌游戏,PowerPoint演示文稿组,或在用生化染色剂染色后对真核细胞中的细胞器或结构进行着色），从而改善了学生的表现以及长期保留。这项活动可以在生物学入门中实施，微生物学,细胞生物学,和相关的STEM学科(例如，化学,生物化学）。
