Abstract

Matematiksel formül ve tekniklerle, biyolojik süreçleri modelleyerek biyolojik parametreleri hesaplayan, multidisipliner bir bilim olan biyomatematik (matematiksel biyoloji) araştırmalarının, gelecekteki eğitim anlayışına büyük etkide bulunacağı tahmin edilmektedir. Biyomatematik yetkinliğinin arttırılmasına yönelik araştırma ve eğitimler, yaşam bilimleri, matematik ve bilgisayar teknolojilerinin dahil olduğu disiplinlerarası eğitim reformlarını yönlendirebilir. Bu nedenle, uygulamalı matematik alanı altında, yeni bir multidisipliner bilimdalı olan biyomatematiğin, kapsamının ve eğitimindeki güncel yaklaşımlarının incelenmesi önem taşımaktadır. Bu derleme çalışmasının amacı, biyomatematiğin kapsamı ve eğitiminin incelenerek, gelişimi hakkında değerlendirmeler yapılmasıdır. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, dünyada olduğu gibi Türkiye’de de güncel problemleri hızlı ve etkili biçimde çözebilmek için biyomatematik araştırmaları desteklenmeli, yaşam bilimleri, matematik ve bilgisayar alanlarındaki disiplinlerarası çalışmalar arttırılmalı, biyomatematik araştırma-uygulama alanları genişletilmeli, biyomatematik eğitim-öğretimi yüksek standartlarda gerçekleştirilmeli, biyomatematik eğitiminin lisansüstü-lisans eğitiminin yanısıra ilk-ortaöğretimde de yer bulması sağlanmalıdır. Fen bilimleri, matematik ve bilgisayar dersleri öğretim programları biyomatematik konu ve uygulamalarını kapsayacak şekilde yeniden düzenlenerek ders içerikleri, öğretim yöntemleri-öğretim materyalleri geliştirilmeli, FETEMM (STEM) etkinlikleri her eğitim seviyesinde başarıyla uygulanmalıdır. Ayrıca biyomatematik alanında uzman lisansüstü-lisans düzeyinde öğretim elemanı yetiştirilmesi yoluna gidilmeli, ayrıca hizmet öncesi ve hizmet içi biyoloji, fen, coğrafya, matematik ve bilgisayar öğretmen eğitimleri de verilmelidir. Hem üniversitelerde hem de ilk-orta öğretimde biyomatematik uygulamalarının arttırılması ve öğrencilerin yüksek öğretime yönlendirilmesi gerçekleştirilmelidir.

Biomathematics as a Multidisciplinary Science and Importance of Biomathematics Education

Abstract

It is estimated that biomathematics (mathematical biology) research, which is a multidisciplinary science that calculates biological parameters by modeling biological processes with mathematical formulas and techniques, will have a great impact on the understanding of education in the future. Research and training to increase biomathematics competence can drive interdisciplinary educational reforms, including life sciences, mathematics and computer technologies. For this reason, it is important to examine the scope and current approaches in the education of biomathematics, which is a new multidisciplinary science under the field of applied mathematics. The purpose of this review study is to examine the scope and education of biomathematics and to make evaluations about its development. According to the results of the study, biomathematics researches should be supported, interdisciplinary studies in life sciences, mathematics and computer fields should be increased, biomathematics research-application areas should be expanded, biomathematics education-teaching should be carried out at high standards, biomathematics education should be carried out in Turkey as well as in the world, in order to solve current problems quickly and effectively. It should be ensured that education takes place in primary and secondary education as well as graduate-undergraduate education. Science, mathematics and computer courses curricula should be rearranged to cover biomathematics topics and applications, course contents, teaching methods-teaching materials should be developed, and STEM activities should be successfully applied at every education level. In addition, graduate-undergraduate level instructors who are experts in the field of biomathematics should be trained, and pre-service and in-service biology, science, geography, mathematics and computer teacher training should be given. Biomathematics applications should be increased both in universities and in primary and secondary education and students should be directed to higher education.
