Two out-of-class graphing activities related to hormonal regulation of the reproductive cycle and stress responses are used to determine whether student use of self-data vs. provided data increases engagement, learning outcomes, and attitude changes. Comparisons of quizzes and surveys for students using self- vs. provided data suggest that while both activities increase learning outcomes, use of self-data compared with provided data has a greater impact on increasing learning outcomes, promotes recognition that hormones are relevant, and enhances confidence in graphing skills and graphing efficacy.
两项与生殖周期和应激反应的激素调节相关的课外绘图活动,用于确定学生使用自我数据与提供的数据相比,是否能提高参与度、学习成果和态度变化。对使用自我数据与提供数据的学生进行的测验和调查比较表明,虽然这两项活动都能提高学习成果,但与提供的数据相比,使用自我数据对提高学习成果有更大的影响,能促进对激素相关性的认识,并增强绘图技能和绘图效果的信心。
