MODELING-BASED LEARNING

ACTIVITY (MBL)

In an effort to enable its students to expand their horizons and acquire new skills

outside of traditional education, the Faculty of Health Sciences Technology

organized an engaging educational activity on Wednesday, March 19. The activity
simulated the process of classifying chromosomes and creating a genetic map,

helping students gain a deeper understanding through practical application.

The activity began by dividing students into small groups,

then distributing cards containing printed and mixed

images of human chromosomes to the students. Using
scissors, glue, and white paper, the groups cut out the

images of individual chromosomes from the printed

sheet. They then sorted them according to size, from
largest to smallest, and glued them together to form a

genetic map.

The goal is to study the genetic content of the case in question and determine whether the
condition is normal or abnormal. Learning by doing is the true key to understanding science,

and this type of activity enriches students' educational experience by allowing them to apply

theoretical concepts in an interactive, practical manner.
