Learning & Teaching Expo 2018 學與教博覽2018

How do we keep students motivated and interested in learning biology? How can a syllabus of engineering biology help improve student’s problem-solving skills?

Upon attending the talk, participants will be able to:
• Learn how to engage secondary students in conducting biological research or study with simple engineering concepts to create solution to everyday problem, from environmental monitoring and remediation, pharmaceutical, diagnostic, medical, programming and modelling, education, social or ethical issues and art.
• Learn how to conduct complex science in an easy way and use an interdisciplinary approach to teach students to solve real life problems.
• Learn how to make scientific investigation as a team effort leading to implementable solution.
• Learn how to take advantage of the iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine) competition as part of the biotechnology syllabus for teachers to teach in a student-centric mode, where students guide the direction of the project development and implementation during the process of problem solving.

老師如何讓學生主動及投入學習生物？生物工程課程如何提升學生的解難能力？

是次講座將有助參加者：
• 學習如何讓中學生投入參與生物研究或從簡單的工程概念去思考解決日常生活問題的方案，例如環境監測和維護措施、製藥、診斷、醫療、編程和建模、教育、社會與道德問題，以及藝術等；
• 學習如何深入淺出教授學生複雜的科學概念，並以跨學科的模式教導學生解決生活疑難；
• 學習如何通過團隊合作進行科學實驗，從而實現可行的解決方案；
• 學習如何善用國際遺傳工程機器設計競賽作為其中一個教授生物科技課程的平台，參與學生在競賽過程中全程作主導，負責規劃及實踐創新科研項目，排解過程中遇到的困難。
