Bioscholar Project 2009 Cell Signaling as Network Karen Curto University of Pittsburgh
My Question CELL SIGNALING TEXTBOOK REALISTIC SIMPLE PATHWAY Network
Context • Honors Foundations of Biology 1 • 25 freshman students unprepared for • Upper level courses • Complex networks • many intermediates • cross talk within cell • modulated responses
Research Design • Pretest questions • cell signaling terminology • complex cell response • First article • Student pairs • define terminology & function of characteristic molecules • Subsequent disease articles (repeatedly) • Create network analogy • Peer review • Refine, revise, recreate analogy over semester • Practice with exam type questions
Evidence • Midterm • Student knowledge • Explain 2-3 ways disease “X” results from network flaw • Student opinion • Final • Use your final analogy for cell network scenario “X” • Prior practice-type questions • Post course survey • Repeat pre course survey questions
