| 551-0604-00L | Ethics and Scientific Integrity for Doctoral Students in Biology  This course is for doctoral students of D-BIOL only. Minimal number of participants: 10 | 1 credit | 2U | H. Stocker, E. Bobst | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | This course (e-learning module combined with workshop) equips doctoral students with knowledge and tools to recognize, discuss and address ethical issues of their research. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Doctoral students learn how to identify, analyze and address ethical issues in their own research. They will also reflect on their professional role as scientists. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | Doctoral students may encounter ethical issues during their research activities. This practical course aims at equipping students with knowledge and tools to recognize, discuss and address ethical aspects of their research. In an e-learning module, students will be introduced to ethics and good scientific practice, and they will be familiarized with resources that can assist them with ethical decision-making. In the following face-to-face workshop, students will apply and critically discuss their knowledge and share their experiences with fellow doctoral students in a biology-specific context. The first part is a self-paced e-learning module (Moodle). The second part (face-to-face workshop) provides an interactive learning environment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 551-0961-00L | Mentored Work Subject Didactics Biology A The Subject Didactics as well as possible branch-specific requirements must be fulfilled prior to commencing the mentored paper. | 2 credits | 4A | P. Faller, H. Stocker | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | In their mentored work on subject didactics, students put into practice the contents of the subject-didactics lectures. Under supervision, they compile tuition materials enabling effective learning and/or analyse and reflect on certain topics from a subject-based and pedagogical perspective. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The objectives for the students are - to be able to familiarise themselves with a tuition topic by consulting different sources, acquiring materials and reflecting on the relevance of the topic and the access they have selected to this topic from a specialist, subject-didactics, pedagogical, and potentially social perspective. - to prove that they can independently compile a tuition sequence and develop it to deployment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | Thematische Schwerpunkte Die Gegenstände der mentorierten Arbeit in Fachdidaktik stammen in der Regel aus dem gymnasialen Unterricht. Lernformen Die Studierenden wählen ein individuelles Thema und erstellen dazu eine eigenständige Arbeit. Sie werden dabei von ihrer Betreuungsperson begleitet. Die mentorierte Arbeit ist Teil des Portfolios der Studierenden. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Eine kurze Anleitung zur mentorierten Arbeit in Fachdidaktik wird zur Verfügung gestellt. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literature | Die Literatur ist themenspezifisch. Die Studierenden beschaffen sie sich in der Regel selber (siehe Lernziele). In besonderen Fällen wird sie vom Betreuer zur Verfügung gestellt. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Beginn nach Absprache jederzeit möglich, jedoch erst nach Abschluss der Fachdidaktik I und II und nach Erfüllung allfälliger fachwissenschaftlicher Auflagen. Die Arbeit sollte vor Beginn des Unterrichtspraktikums abgeschlossen werden. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 551-0973-00L | Specialized Biology Course with an Educational Focus: Evolution | 6 credits | 2G + 13A | H. Stocker, Y. Barral, K. Köhler | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Specialist aspects of biology with a focus on evolution are covered from the angle of imparting these to pupils, their historical development, and their significance for the subject, the individual and society. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | After successful completion of the module, students should be able - to retrieve in-depth knowledge of biology with a special focus on evolution and to impart this to others. - to analyse controversial topics and to give factual explanations for these. - to conduct more in-depth work on a research topic and to compile a tuition unit based on this topic - to prepare tuition units involving complex learning matter at a high specialist level which are suitably tailored to the recipients, and to teach these in a manner conducive to learning. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | Selected biological topics, with a special focus on evolution, are dealt with under consideration of the special needs of persons involved in teaching. The module comprises lectures, a book club, and a seminar thesis. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Teaching materials are available online on Moodle. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literature | Literature and references are posted online on Moodle. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | The Specialized Biology Course with an Educational Focus consists of two modules (6 CP each). In the fall semester, the focus is on evolution. The module of the spring semester deals with biological concepts. Students attending both modules can start with either module. Performance is assessed during the course of the entire module. Active participation in the course is required. The thesis (including oral presentation) has to be completed. The Specialized Biology Course with an Educational Focus (6+6 CP) can be acknowledged, in agreement with the advisor of the respective elective major, as one of the two obligatory research projects (each 15 CP). In such a case, additional 3 CP must be obtained in another course. In case of overbooking of the course, students enrolled in the Teaching Diploma in Biology will have priority. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
