Resource Group | "Pathways to Scientific Teaching" is based on a series of two-page articles published in "Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment" from August 2004 to June 2006 that illustrated effective instructional methods to help students gain conceptual understanding in ecology (Diane Ebert-May and Janet Hodder, 2008). This installment of the Pathways to Scientific Teaching series describes one or more instructional strategies that use scientific papers to teach selected concepts. While specific journal articles are used in demonstrating these strategies, we would like to emphasize that each activity in the Pathways series has been designed for use with any scientific article on a similar topic, and not just the example shown here. Note that in addition to undergraduate faculty, many high school teachers can use these articles as well in their biology courses. |

Pedagogical Use Description | Instructor goals: 1) Probe student understanding of concepts fundamental to GM technology and, based on the student responses, design instruction that addresses student needs. 2) Use data from student assessments to pose a significant question about their learning that can be investigated empirically. This installment of the Pathways to Scientific Teaching series describes one or more instructional strategies that use scientific papers to teach selected concepts. While specific journal articles are used in demonstrating these strategies, we would like to emphasize that each activity in the Pathways series has been designed for use with any scientific article on a similar topic, and not just the example shown here. Note that in addition to undergraduate faculty, many high school teachers can use these articles as well in their biology courses. |
