Abstract

The e-Bioinformatics Module (e-BIMO) was developed to address the needs of science lecturers and enhance pre-service science teachers’ skills. This study examined the perceptions of nine science lecturers—seven from Indonesian universities and two from a Thai university—before and after implementing e-BIMO in science teacher education programs. Using qualitative methods, data were collected through genetic learning needs and experience interview sheets and analyzed using content analysis. Before implementation, discussions focused on curriculum, learning resources, teaching strategies, assessments, and conceptual understanding. Postimplementation results revealed that e BIMO provided a more engaging and interactive learning experience, particularly in topics such as genetic diseases and forensic science, and helped pre-service teachers connect theoretical knowledge with practical applications, improving understanding and critical thinking. The study concludes by recommending the integration of e-BIMO into science teacher education programs, particularly in Indonesia and Thailand.
