We have designed a skills matrix to be used for developing and assessing undergraduate biochemistry and molecular biology laboratory curricula. We prepared the skills matrix for the Project Kaleidoscope Summer Institute workshop in Snowbird, Utah (July 2001) to help current and developing undergraduate biochemistry and molecular biology program designers to determine which laboratory techniques, skills, and theories to include in a 4-year plan. The skills matrix can be used to evaluate and assess the types of laboratory skills as well as the level at which they are taught in biochemistry and molecular biology curricula. The matrix can foster better communication between faculty in chemistry, biology, math, and physics as they share curricular information. As an example of utility of the skills matrix, we used it to survey several commonly used biochemistry laboratory manuals to evaluate the skills covered in each text.
我们设计了一个技能矩阵，用于开发和评估本科生物化学与分子生物学实验室课程。我们为2001年7月在犹他州雪鸟市举办的万花筒计划暑期学院研讨会准备了这个技能矩阵，以帮助当前及正在发展的本科生物化学与分子生物学课程设计者确定在四年计划中应纳入哪些实验室技术、技能和理论。该技能矩阵可用于评估生物化学与分子生物学课程中所教授的实验室技能类型及其水平。在化学、生物学、数学和物理学科的教师共享课程信息时，这个矩阵能够促进他们之间更好的交流。作为技能矩阵实用性的一个例子，我们用它来调查几本常用的生物化学实验室手册，以评估每本教材所涵盖的技能。
