To improve undergraduate biology education, there is an urgent need for biology instructors to publish their innovative active-learning instructional materials in peer-reviewed journals. To do this, instructors can measure student knowledge about a variety of biology concepts, iteratively design activities, explore student learning outcomes and publish the results. Creating a set of well-vetted activities, searchable through a journal interface, saves other instructors time and encourages the use of active-learning instructional practices. For authors, these publications offer new opportunities to collaborate and can provide evidence of a commitment to using active-learning instructional techniques in the classroom.
为了改善本科生物学教育，生物学教师迫切需要在同行评审期刊上发表他们创新的主动学习教学材料。要做到这一点，教师可以衡量学生对各种生物学概念的了解，反复设计活动，探索学生的学习成果并发表结果。创建一组经过充分审核且可通过期刊界面搜索的活动，为其他教师节省了时间，并鼓励使用主动学习教学方法。对于作者而言，这些出版物提供了新的合作机会，并可以证明其在课堂上使用主动学习教学技术的决心。
