Partnering Teachers and Scientists: Translating Carbohydrate Research into Curriculum Resources for Secondary Science Classrooms

摘要

Since 2015, a partnership between the Canadian Glycomics Network and the University of Alberta's Centre for Mathematics, Science, and Technology Education has provided opportunities for high-school teachers to immerse themselves in academic research environments. Drawing upon this experience, the teacher participants have created a library of glycomics-themed bilingual teaching resources that are curriculum-linked and feature current, local research with global impact. These resources are shared freely on the Internet. This article presents an overview of the program and discusses feedback from participating teachers and researchers.
