This concept is commonly applied in teaching to create a more meaningful and activating learning environment. The major aim of this study was to compare possible effects of gamification on a traditional interactive teaching concept in a biochemistry course on students' learning. This study was performed in summer semester 2024 with fourth semester medical students at Ulm University in Germany. Students were divided into two homogenous study groups that differed in the teaching concept. In the control group, students received instruction through traditional, interactive face-to-face lessons that included open-ended questions. In the gaming group, the quiz-game \"Bionopoly\" was introduced and the students were taught using a gamified didactic concept. Learning success was measured by a multiple-choice test at the beginning and the end of the course day. Satisfaction, motivation and a possible continuous activating effect were analyzed by an online evaluation and a handout questionnaire. Students of the gamified concept scored higher in the post-knowledge test. Furthermore, the gamified concept motivated the student's significantly more when compared to the traditional teaching concept. Measured throughout the entire course day, gamification had a stabilizing effect on students' concentration, motivation and interest in biochemistry. All in all our study provides evidence that gamification is an attractive teaching concept for practical courses with an accompanying seminar.","PeriodicalId":8830,"journal":{"name":"Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education","volume":" ","pages":"243-253"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13206467/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147369108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Biotinylated bovine serum albumin (BSA) is immobilized on Super Streptavidin sensors to enable two assays in parallel: (i) binding of a commercially available anti-BSA IgG (protein-protein) and (ii) binding of a long-chain fatty acid such as palmitate (protein-small molecule). The exercise emphasizes assay design decisions that differ by analyte class-sensor chemistry and loading density, solvent matching and reference subtraction, association/dissociation timing, and the choice of data-analysis pathway (global 1:1 kinetic fitting for IgG vs. steady-state isotherms for fatty acids). Representative data yield nanomolar KD values for BSA-IgG and micromolar apparent KD for BSA-fatty acid, with correspondingly larger response amplitudes and slower off-rates for the protein-protein case. The protocol fits into two 3-h sessions, leverages eight-channel parallel acquisition for efficient titrations, and includes safety notes, optional regeneration to demonstrate sensor reuse, and troubleshooting for non-ideal behaviors (drift, avidity, non-specific binding). Assessment artifacts (rubrics, short-answer prompts, and figure-quality criteria) support measurement of learning outcomes in experimental design and quantitative analysis. Because the same BSA surface underpins both assays, the module is cost effective, reproducible, and readily transferable across institutions, providing a practical framework for teaching how analyte size and mechanism shape biosensor strategy and interpretation.","PeriodicalId":8830,"journal":{"name":"Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education","volume":" ","pages":"297-307"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147503175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At the University of Porto (Portugal), the Junior University is a summer school that offers research and development activities on specific topics, enabling students to experience university life and the research environment through representative hands-on programs. This report presents the impact of a one-week bioengineering program, conducted at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) and repeated over 4 weeks, on the academic literacy and motivation of high school students. Throughout each week, students completed two questionnaires-one at the beginning and another at the end of the program. The results reveal clear improvements in their understanding of bioengineering concepts and applications. For some students, the experience reinforced their interest in the field, while for others, it helped clarify that bioengineering might not be their preferred area of study. Overall, the outcomes of this study highlight the value of university-led initiatives in enhancing high school students' academic literacy and supporting them in making more informed, thoughtful decisions regarding their future academic and professional paths.","PeriodicalId":8830,"journal":{"name":"Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education","volume":" ","pages":"283-291"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13206384/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147526038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The online nature and large size of the course presented challenges regarding student engagement and access to adequate support. To address these issues, we created four assignments (Journal Article, TED-style Talk, Reflective, and Concept Map) to build scientific literacy skills. To develop the intended skills, we designed interactive e-learning modules with active learning opportunities and practice activities to provide effective feedback. Here, we present an evaluation of the outcomes of this work by comparing student engagement in the modules with learning outcomes and academic performance indicators. The majority of students indicated that the e-modules were conducive to their learning and acquisition of scientific literacy skills. Additionally, most students found that all individual e-modules and associated assignments supported their learning, with somewhat lower agreeance among students regarding the Journal Article assignment. This feedback and student performance on the assignment supported our hypothesis that students lack practice developing these skills earlier in their education. Overall, there was a trend showing that higher student engagement with the e-modules was associated with higher assignment scores and final grades. Therefore, the e-modules and assignments supported the goals of improving targeted skills and contributed to an overall positive learning environment for students. These data demonstrate the utility of online e-modules for student learning and the usefulness of learning analytics data to better understand the student experience.","PeriodicalId":8830,"journal":{"name":"Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education","volume":" ","pages":"226-242"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13206462/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147368806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"教育学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
