The learning of immunology knowledge not only helps to understand and treat disease, but also helps individuals to prevent disease. This study analyzed the changes of the most recent five Curriculum Guidelines in Taiwan and found that immunology learning could be divided into two phases: basic courses and advanced courses. However, the first four Curriculum Guidelines all scheduled the learning of immunology at senior-high-school level, while the latest Guidelinewill adjust the basic immune content to the first year of the junior-high school in 2019. After analyzing the adjustment of study period, we found some problems relating to learning and teaching: (1) How do junior high school student learn complex immunology? If the junior high teachers have not taught immunology in the past, how will they teach effectively now? (2) After seventh-grade students first learn basic courses, how will their biology teachers assist them to connect the learning content to advanced courses in 12th grade? (3) Because junior-high students have no immunology learning experiences before the implementation of the newest Guidelines, and also the basic biology of the new seniorhigh curriculum does not include immunology, how do those students entering senior high schools in the past three school years (2019, 2020, 2021) learn immune-related knowledge? Therefore, we recommend that the seventh-grade immunology textbooks should be simplified and only covering the function of the immune system instead of the reaction mechanism. Senior high school teachers should arrange a two-credit connecting course according to the Curriculum Guidelines to teach the basic immunology content in the old Curriculum Guidelines. In addition, to clearly understand the content of immunology learning, we further analyzed the content of immunology knowledge in the previous years. We conclude that there are 4 constructs, 10 dimensions, and 20 concepts of immunology learning content. Finally, we suggest that senior-high teachers could teach their students the basic immune course with teaching aids using continuous images, such as comics or animation, to facilitate effective learning. |
