Technology has become an indispensable component of both modern life science and life science education. However, due to inadequate knowledge and experience, teachers are often unable to include technology essential for practicing science in their teaching. In this regard, professional development workshops for in-service and preservice teachers are beneficial. In this study, we described the role of a professional development workshop in enhancing teachers' technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge through the lens of Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge framework. Our study is also an example of how teachers can be informed about the current trends in modern research and technology and trained to bring similar research into their classroom. © 2019 International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 47(4):380-387, 2019.
技术已成为现代生命科学和生命科学教育不可或缺的组成部分。然而,由于知识和经验不足,教师往往无法在教学中纳入科学实践所需的技术。在这方面,为在职和职前教师举办的专业发展研讨会是有益的。在本研究中,我们通过技术教学内容知识框架的视角,描述了专业发展研讨会在提升教师技术、教学和内容知识方面的作用。我们的研究也是一个范例,展示了如何让教师了解现代研究和技术的当前趋势,并接受培训以便将类似研究引入课堂。© 2019国际生物化学与分子生物学联盟,47(4):380 - 387,2019。
