The Effect of Vocabulary on Introductory Microbiology Instruction

January 2011 (has links)
abstract: This study examines the effect of the translation of traditional scientific vocabulary into plain English, a process referred to as Anglicization, on student learning in the context of introductory microbiology instruction. Data from Anglicized and Classical-vocabulary lab sections were collected. Data included exam scores as well as pre and post-course surveys on reasoning skills, impressions of biology, science and the course, and microbiology knowledge. Students subjected to Anglicized instruction performed significantly better on exams that assessed their abilities to apply and analyze knowledge from the course, and gained similar amounts of knowledge during the course when compared to peers instructed with standard vocabulary. Their performance in upper-level courses was also better than that of their traditionally educated peers. Hypotheses related to the effect are presented and evaluated; implications for instruction are discussed. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Biology 2011

Processo dialógico no ensino de microbiologia na escola do campo

Coelho, Glória Maria Pinto January 2018 (has links)
A escola do campo é um espaço que favorece a interlocução de saberes, contribuindo para a formação humanista e científica do jovem campesino através do ensino orientado para a sociedade. O estudo tem como objetivo identificar e discutir processos dialógicos utilizadas pelos professores no ensino de Microbiologia na escola do campo. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa em razão do uso de elementos como: a fala cotidiana dos sujeitos, observação, registro e análise dos fatos, número, frequência e intensidade dos comportamentos dos indivíduos envolvidos. O instrumento de coleta foi o questionário utilizado junto aos alunos do 2º ano do ensino médio (234) e professores de Biologia (11) de 09 escolas do campo. A partir da perspectiva freiriana, os resultados apontam a prática pedagógica docente como uma dinâmica em construção, requerendo um aprofundamento teórico frente a realidade do campo, porém o professor destaca, no seu discurso, a importância da escuta, da discussão e da reflexão, possibilitando a transformação da realidade mediada pelo diálogo. Quanto ao ensino de Microbiologia há predomínio de aula expositiva e uso do livro didático. São pontuadas dificuldades estruturais, falta de insumos e apoio insuficiente da gestão para viabilizar atividades práticas, no entanto, alunos e professores, mesmo não tendo essa atividade, referem ser essa modalidade mais motivadora, dinâmica e significativa para o estudo dos microrganismos. Há inserção da universidade nesse espaço educacional, através de cooperação e apoio a formação do jovem no campo, seja através da partilha de espaços de aprendizagem para os alunos do ensino médio, seja na capacitação e atualização dos professores e na produção conjunta de materiais instrucionais que deem sentido ao conteúdo da Microbiologia no cotidiano do campo. Acreditamos que esse aceno, contribuirá para o processo de reflexão do ensinar e aprender nas escolas do campo. / The rural school is a space that favors the interlocution of knowledge, contributing to the humanistic and scientific formation of the young peasant through the teaching oriented to the society. The objective of this study is to identify and discuss the dialogic processes used by teachers in the teaching of microbiology in the rural school. This is a descriptive study, with a quantitative and qualitative approach based on the use of elements such as: everyday speech of subjects, observation, recording and analysis of the facts, number, frequency and intensity of the behaviors of the individuals involved. The collection instrument was the questionnaire used with the students of the second year of high school (234) and teachers of Biology (11) of 09 schools in the field. From the perspective of Freire, the results point to the teaching pedagogical practice as a dynamic in construction, requiring a theoretical deepening of the reality of the field, but the teacher emphasizes in his speech the importance of listening, discussion and reflection, making possible the transformation of reality mediated by dialogue. Regarding the teaching of Microbiology there is a predominance of expository class and use of textbooks. Structural difficulties, lack of inputs and insufficient support of management to make practical activities feasible, however, students and teachers, even without this activity, point out that this modality is more motivating, dynamic and significant for the study of microorganisms. There is insertion of the university in this educational space, through cooperation and support the training of the young in the field, either through the sharing of learning spaces for high school students, or in the training and updating of teachers and joint production of instructional materials that the Microbiology content in the daily life of the field. We believe that this nod will contribute to the reflection process of teaching and learning in rural schools.
