Professional development for science teachers can be benefited through active learning in science laboratories. However, how online training materials can be used to complement traditional laboratory training is less understood. This paper explores the design of online training modules to teach molecular biology and user perception of those modules that were part of an intensive molecular biology "boot camp" targeting high school biology teachers in the State of Hawaii. The John A. Burns School of Medicine at the University of Hawaii had an opportunity to design and develop professional development that prepares science teachers with an introduction of skills, techniques, and applications for their students to conduct medical research in a laboratory setting. A group of 29 experienced teachers shared their opinions of the online materials and reported on how they used the online materials in their learning process or teaching.
科学教师的专业发展可以通过在科学实验室中的主动学习而受益。然而，对于如何利用在线培训材料来补充传统实验室培训，人们了解得较少。本文探讨了在线培训模块的设计，这些模块用于教授分子生物学，以及用户对那些作为针对夏威夷州高中生物教师的密集分子生物学“新兵训练营”一部分的模块的看法。夏威夷大学约翰·A·伯恩斯医学院有机会设计和开发专业发展项目，为科学教师介绍相关技能、技术和应用，以便他们的学生能够在实验室环境中进行医学研究。一组29名经验丰富的教师分享了他们对在线材料的看法，并报告了他们在学习过程或教学中如何使用这些在线材料。
