How we teach science and engage with the public, particularly in fast moving subjects such as microbiology, are constantly being reflected upon, improved and innovated. This has led to a significant increase of pedagogy publications by microbiology educators in higher education that have had a positive impact on teaching quality, student retention, progression and course satisfaction as well as how science is communicated with the public. In this paper we describe the different types of pedagogical manuscripts that biological scientists could write and the benefits that derive from doing so. We provide a glossary of terms often seen in educational literature. Project design and qualitative and quantitative research methodologies are discussed, highlighting ethical and General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) considerations. Suggestions are made regarding how to network with colleagues who are also keen on writing pedagogical papers as well as examples of good practice. Lastly, a handy how-to-start guide aims to help with first steps. We hope that this paper will be a useful survival manual for colleagues who wish to engage in exciting pedagogical research in the field of microbiology and the broader biological sciences.
我们如何教授科学以及如何与公众互动，尤其是在微生物学等快速发展的学科领域，这一问题一直受到反思、改进和创新。这使得高等教育领域的微生物学教育工作者发表的教学法相关出版物显著增加，这些出版物对教学质量、学生保留率、学业进展和课程满意度，以及科学与公众的沟通方式都产生了积极影响。在本文中，我们描述了生物科学家可以撰写的不同类型的教学法手稿以及这样做所带来的益处。我们提供了教育文献中常见术语的词汇表。讨论了项目设计以及定性和定量研究方法，强调了伦理和通用数据保护条例（GDPR）方面的考虑因素。就如何与同样热衷于撰写教学法论文的同事建立联系以及良好实践的示例提出了建议。最后，一份实用的如何开始指南旨在帮助迈出第一步。我们希望本文能成为一份有用的生存手册，帮助那些希望在微生物学及更广泛的生物科学领域开展令人兴奋的教学法研究的同事。
