Emphasizing the History of Genetics in an Explicit and Reflective Approach to Teaching the Nature of Science     

Cody Tyler Williams  David Wÿss Rudge 《Science & Education》2016,25(3-4):407-427

Science education researchers have long advocated the central role of the nature of science (NOS) for our understanding of scientific literacy. NOS is often interpreted narrowly to refer to a host of epistemological issues associated with the process of science and the limitations of scientific knowledge. Despite its importance, practitioners and researchers alike acknowledge that students have difficulty learning NOS and that this in part reflects how difficult it is to teach. One particularly promising method for teaching NOS involves an explicit and reflective approach using the history of science. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of a historically based genetics unit on undergraduates’ understanding of NOS. The three-class unit developed for this study introduces students to Mendelian genetics using the story of Gregor Mendel’s work. NOS learning objectives were emphasized through discussion questions and investigations. The unit was administered to undergraduates in an introductory biology course for pre-service elementary teachers. The influence of the unit was determined by students’ responses to the SUSSI instrument, which was administered pre- and post-intervention. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted that focused on changes in students’ responses from pre- to post-test. Data collected indicated that students showed improved NOS understanding related to observations, inferences, and the influence of culture on science.  相似文献

In the library literature, a great deal of interest in patron-driven collection development has recently been expressed, especially in those programs that link acquisitions with interlibrary loan. However, the implementation of such programs has been limited, at least in part because of concerns over the potential for wasteful spending. The authors will attempt to address this common concern by assessing whether monies spent via a patron-driven acquisitions program were more or less effective than monies spent via traditional modes of acquisition.  相似文献

An effective mathematics and science curriculum option for secondary gifted education     

Tandra L. Tyler‐Wood  Mark Mortenson  Dawn Putney  Michael A. Cass 《Roeper Review》2013,35(4):266-269

Project Ga‐GEMS (Georgia's Project for Gifted Education in Math and Science) viewed the effect that placement in an integrated, hands‐on mathematics and science curriculum had on the achievement of academically talented high school students. For a two‐year period of time, students gifted in the areas of mathematics and science participated in a curriculum which incorporated higher‐level thinking skills and more real life laboratory experiences into mutually reinforcing mathematics and science lessons. After the conclusion of the two‐year program, Ga‐GEMS participants and a control group were given the mathematics and science sections of the ACT as they exited the tenth grade. The Ga‐GEMS students scored significantly higher on the Science Math Total, Pre‐Algebra/Elementary Algebra, Intermediate Algebra/Coordinate Geometry and Plane Geometry/Trigonometry sections of the ACT. To determine if the Ga‐GEMS students retained their higher scores throughout high school the SAT scores of both groups were compared as the students exited high school. Significant differences in the areas of total score and mathematics were noted. This study lends support for the use of a differentiated curriculum for educating gifted students in science and mathematics.  相似文献

Centering Marginalized Voices     

Rev. Tyler Sit 《Religious education (Chicago, Ill.)》2020,115(1):100-115

Abstract

“Centering Marginalized Voices” is the second of nine Christian life rhythms explored in the upcoming book tentatively titled Staying Awake: The Gospel for Changemakers (Chalice Press). Author Rev. Tyler Sit explains how his multiethnic, Millennial church plant in South Minneapolis (New City Church, https://GrowNewCity.church), follows Jesus in opposing racism and constructing a diverse community. Staying Awake is written to be lay-accessible and models how pastors can communicate core theological themes in the Gospel.  相似文献
