親手做孟：AI互動式孟德爾遺傳實驗學習平台
講者/Speaker： 孫健育, Sun Chien Yu
本作品「親手做孟：AI 互動式孟德爾遺傳實驗學習平台」旨在解決傳統遺傳學教學中，學生難以將抽象的基因型與具體表現型連結，以及過往使用的 Scratch 模擬程式存在介面受限、缺乏引導等問題。本平台核心程式碼透過 Gemini AI 生成，創新結合了生物學與機率統計，運用「隨機生成」讓學生在重複交配的實驗中親眼見證大數法則與 3:1 遺傳比例的誕生。
本平台具備多項獨創設計：包含「透視基因」功能，可一鍵切換外觀（表現型）與基因型（如 TT、Tt、tt），大幅降低學生的理解困難；具備「即時引導」機制，宛如數位助教針對學生的錯誤給予即時回饋與觀念修正；同時支援平板觸控與「跨世代操作」（保留 F1 子代繼續交配產生 F2），並導入遊戲化的視覺特效與成就解鎖（如：孟德爾傳人）來提升學習動機。
在教學現場實踐上，本平台已於 Sci-flipper 國中生物教師社群推廣，獲全台 51 所學校、71 位教師採用，並已收集逾 1069 位學生的學習數據。成效顯示，本平台不僅有效降低學生對理科的抗拒，更成功幫助教師將課堂模式從「傳統講解」翻轉為「引導探究」，落實科學探究與實作的核心精神。
This project, "Hands-on Mendel," addresses common challenges in traditional genetics education, particularly students' difficulty in connecting abstract genotypes with concrete phenotypes, as well as the interface and guidance limitations of existing Scratch-based simulation programs. Developed with code generated by Gemini AI, this interactive platform innovatively integrates biology with probability and statistics. By utilizing "random generation" to calculate mating probabilities in real-time, students can witness the Law of Large Numbers and the origins of the 3:1 inheritance ratio through hands-on experimentation.
The platform features several core innovations. The "X-ray Gene" function allows users to seamlessly toggle between phenotypes and genotypes (e.g., TT, Tt, tt), significantly reducing cognitive overload. It also serves as a digital teaching assistant, providing "immediate guided feedback" to correct students' misconceptions during interactive quizzes. Furthermore, the system supports touch controls and "cross-generational breeding" (allowing F1 seeds to be saved for F2 generation crosses), while incorporating gamified visual effects and achievement unlocks (e.g., "Mendel's Heir") to boost student motivation.
In terms of practical implementation, the platform has been adopted by the Sci-flipper junior high school biology teacher community, reaching 71 teachers across 51 schools in Taiwan, and has collected test data from over 1,069 students. Qualitative outcomes demonstrate that the platform effectively reduces students' resistance to science learning and empowers teachers to shift their pedagogical approach from "traditional lecturing" to "guided inquiry," thereby fulfilling the core spirit of hands-on scientific investigation.
