This workshop was held at the Teaching Satellite Meeting of the International Union of Physiological Sciences (IUPS), August 5-8, 2017, in Buzios, Rio de Janiero, Brazil. The satellite meeting was attended by physiology educators from across the globe, of whom 34 attended this workshop. The aim of the workshop was to explore how experimental design is taught to students of physiology in different institutions, to consider the aspects that students find challenging, to share good practice, and to think about how experimental design teaching could be improved. Through small-group discussions that were then shared with the whole group, participants were challenged to develop the outline of a research project to investigate a broad topic and then to identify the challenges that students might face if they were given that task. Finally, the group thought about what, in practical terms, could be done to help develop experimental design skills in undergraduates. The outcomes of the discussions are summarized in this report.
本次研讨会于2017年8月5日至8日在巴西里约热内卢布齐奥斯举行的国际生理科学联合会(IUPS)教学卫星会议期间召开。来自全球各地的生理学教育工作者参加了此次卫星会议,其中34人参加了本次研讨会。研讨会的目的是探讨不同院校如何向生理学专业学生传授实验设计知识,思考学生认为具有挑战性的方面,分享良好做法,并思考如何改进实验设计教学。通过小组讨论并随后向全体成员汇报,参与者们面临挑战,要制定一个研究项目的大纲,以调查一个广泛的主题,然后确定如果学生接受该任务可能面临的挑战。最后,小组思考了在实际操作中可以采取哪些措施来帮助培养本科生的实验设计技能。讨论结果总结在本报告中。
