Practicing Biology de Scott Freeman

Practicing Biology

Autor Scott Freeman, Kim Quillin, Lizabeth Allison, Michael Black, Greg Podgorski, Emily Taylor, Jeff Carmichael
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iul 2019

Aplicabilitatea practică a conceptelor biologice este elementul central al volumului Practicing Biology, aflat acum la ediția a 7-a. Găsim în acest caiet de lucru o metodologie riguroasă care transformă teoria în experiență directă, pornind de la premisa că studenții învață biologia cel mai eficient prin exercițiu aplicat. Structura este concepută pentru a sprijini diferite stiluri de învățare, utilizând activități de modelare și cartografiere care permit identificarea rapidă a lacunelor în înțelegerea principiilor fundamentale.

Organizarea volumului urmează o progresie logică, fiind împărțit în patru unități esențiale. Primele două unități explorează originile moleculare, evoluția vieții și funcțiile celulare, incluzând secțiuni detaliate despre metabolism și fotosinteză. Ultimele două unități se concentrează pe structura genelor, biotehnologie și procesele evolutive prin selecție naturală. Această ediție rafinează instrumentele de lucru pentru a se alinia cerințelor curriculare actuale, punând accent pe 'BioSkills'.

Putem afirma că acest volum completează organic lucrarea fundamentală a autorului, Biological Science, păstrând abordarea centrată pe student și pe dezvoltarea gândirii critice. Cititorii familiarizați cu Understanding Biology ISE de Kenneth Mason vor aprecia în acest volum focalizarea intensă pe activități de tip 'workbook', care transformă conceptele abstracte în exerciții de rezolvare de probleme. Spre deosebire de manualele tradiționale, care pot fi uneori dense în detalii descriptive, Practicing Biology se concentrează pe mecanismele de funcționare și pe conexiunile dintre sisteme, oferind o structură narativă tehnică, dar accesibilă.

Această resursă este esențială pentru studenții la biologie care doresc să treacă de la memorarea pasivă la înțelegerea activă. Prin cele 416 pagini de activități practice, cititorul câștigă abilități analitice și de modelare necesare în laborator și examene. Este un instrument de lucru care transformă biologia dintr-o materie teoretică într-o disciplină exploratorie, fiind ideal pentru pregătirea seminariilor și a examenelor de profil.

Despre autor

Scott Freeman a fost un educator dedicat, cunoscut pentru abordarea sa inovatoare în predarea științelor biologice. Deși parcursul său academic a inclus cercetări în economie monetară la University of Texas, contribuția sa majoră în domeniul educației rămâne seria de manuale de biologie publicate la Pearson Education. Lucrarea sa, Biological Science, a revoluționat modul în care biologia este predată la nivel universitar, punând accent pe învățarea bazată pe descoperire și pe dezvoltarea competențelor de cercetare. Scott Freeman a promovat constant ideea că succesul academic depinde de implicarea activă a studentului în procesul de învățare.

Descriere scurtă

This workbook focuses on key ideas, principles, and concepts that are fundamental to understanding biology. A variety of hands-on activities, such as mapping and modeling, suit different learning styles and help students discover which topics they need more help on. Students learn biology by doing biology.

Notă biografică

Scott Freeman received a PhD in Zoology from the University of Washington and was subsequently awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Postdoctoral Fellowship in Molecular Evolution at Princeton University. He has done research in evolutionary biology on topics ranging from nest parasitism to the molecular systematics of the blackbird family and is coauthor, with Jon Herron, of the standard-setting undergraduate text Evolutionary Analysis. Scott is the recipient of a Distinguished Teaching Award from the University of Washington and is currently a Principal Lecturer in the UW Department of Biology, where he teaches introductory biology for majors, a writing-intensive course for majors called The Tree of Life, and a graduate seminar in college science teaching. Scott's current research focuses on how active learning affects student learning and academic performance.
Lizabeth A. Allison is Chancellor Professor of Biology at the College of William & Mary. She received her PhD in Zoology from the University of Washington, specializing in molecular and cellular biology. Before coming to William & Mary, she spent eight years as a faculty member at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand. Liz teaches introductory biology for majors and upper division molecular biology courses. She has mentored graduate students and more than 120 undergraduate research students, many of them coauthoring papers with her on intracellular trafficking of the thyroid hormone receptor in normal and cancer cells. The recipient of numerous awards, including a State Council for Higher Education in Virginia (SCHEV) Outstanding Faculty Award in 2009, Liz received one of the three inaugural Arts Shouland Sciences Faculty Awards for Teaching Excellence in 2011, and a Plumeri Award for Faculty Excellence in 2012. In addition to her work on this text, she is author of Fundamental Molecular Biology, now in its second edition, with a third edition under way.

Michael Black received his PhD in Microbiology and Immunology from Stanford University School of Medicine as a Howard Hughes Predoctoral Fellow. After graduation, he studied cell biology as a Burroughs Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellow at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England. His current research focuses on the use of molecules to identify and track the transmission of microbes in the environment. Michael is a professor of Cell and Molecular Biology at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, where he teaches introductory and advanced classes for majors in cell biology and microbiology. In addition to his teaching and research activities, Michael serves as the director of the Undergraduate Biotechnology Lab, where he works alongside undergraduate technicians to integrate research projects and inquiry-based activities into undergraduate classes.
