课程名称：理解肥胖 课程概述：本课程将探讨关于肥胖的事实与误解，并讨论大脑对食欲和体重控制的关键生理和心理概念。我们将考虑生物和环境压力，分析为什么增重容易而减重困难！最重要的是，我们将为您提供机会反思自己对这一主题的知识和假设。课程材料以视频、音频MOOCcast和短文阅读为混合形式呈现。每周会有简短的测验、同行评审的作业和论坛讨论活动，帮助您为最终项目做准备。在此项目中，您将展示以证据为基础的理解，并表达您如何在课程之外进一步发展这些知识。 课程包含公民科学项目。我们会匿名收集您的数据，并利用这些数据引导参与者对争议性观点的讨论。通过这种方式，我们希望深入探讨与饮食和肥胖相关的理念。这些项目还提供了科学证据如何被收集和解读的初步体验，同时展示了我们仍有许多需要发现和理解的内容。 课程大纲： - 第一周：我们所知与如何得知 描述：本周我们将讨论关于饮食、食欲和肥胖的现有知识，同时指出我们知识中的空白。 - 第二周：生理与压力 描述：本周我们讨论肥胖的生理学，了解所谓的“食物成瘾”、压力和早期生活经历如何影响我们的饮食选择。包括一个可选作业，探讨健康饮食的障碍，此作业不计分，但可作为第四周评估的练习。 - 第三周：心理与行为 描述：本周我们将讨论食欲控制的心理学，了解食物份量和食品不安全如何影响我们的行为。 - 第四周：巩固与讨论 描述：本周将根据前几周学习的内容进行综合讨论，在线材料会随机发布。本周的主要任务是关于科学方法的测验和同行评审的作业。请注意，您只能尝试一次第四周的测验。
Name:Week 1: What we know, and how we know it.
Description:This week we'll discuss what we know about diet, appetite and obesity. But, and perhaps more importantly, we'll point out the gaps in our knowledge.
Name:Physiology and Stress
Description:This week we discuss some aspects of the physiology of obesity and learn how so-called "food addiction", stress and early-life experience can affect our eating choices. Included is an optional assignment where you can explore barriers to healthy eating. This assignment is not graded but does use the same interface as the Week 4 assessment. As such, you may find it useful to use it as practice for the "real thing".
Name:Psychology and Behaviour
Description:This week we discuss some aspects of the psychology of appetite control and learn how portion sizes and food insecurity might affect our behaviours.
Name:Consolidation and Discussion
Description:This week online material will be posted ad hoc as we consolidate and discuss what we've already learned. This week's main tasks are a quiz on the scientific method and the peer-reviewed assignment. Please note you can attempt the Week 4 quiz only once.
In this course, we’ll look at the facts and misconceptions around obesity and discuss key physiological and psychological concepts around the brain’s control of appetite and body weight. We’ll consider the biological and environmental pressures that make it easy to gain weight (and hard to lose it!). Most importantly, we'll give you the opportunity to reflect on your own knowledge and assumptions around the subject. We deliver course materials as a mixture of videos, audio-only MOOCcasts, and a selection of short readings. There are short weekly quizzes, a peer-reviewed exercise, and discussion activities on the forum. These will help you prepare for the final project. In it, you are invited to demonstrate your evidence-informed understanding and express how you'll develop it beyond the course. The course features Citizen Science projects. We'll collect data from you (anonymously, of course) and use it to drive participant-led discussions of controversial ideas. In this way, we hope to explore ideas around diet and obesity. These projects also give a taste of how scientific evidence is collected and interpreted by scientists, and give some indication how much there still is to discover and understand.
