The Australian Core Concepts in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

<p dir="ltr">The core concepts booklet outlines a simple framework to ensure uniformity and consistency in the standards of undergraduate Biochemistry and Molecular Biology teaching across Australian higher education. The booklet contains: </p><ul><li><b><i>Core Concepts:</i></b> Four Core Concepts, each with 3-5 associated Subthemes.</li><li><b><i>Core Experimental Approaches:</i></b> Six essential technical approaches in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology.</li><li><b><i>Core Skills:</i></b> Eight key skills necessary for graduates to be job-ready in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.</li></ul><p dir="ltr">Academics can use the <u>Australian Core Concepts</u> framework to establish new well-structured curricula, or to revise their existing curriculum. They may also find the core concepts useful when mapping discipline specific outcomes to the national Science Threshold Learning Outcomes (TLOs) framework - these TLOs serve as a key reference point for science and mathematical sciences education. The core concepts can also be used to provide clear benchmarks in assessment, as well as to ensure focus in teaching.</p>
