Increased Scaffolding and Inquiry in an Introductory Biology Lab Enhance Experimental Design Skills
Offered By: American Society for Microbiology via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore how increased scaffolding and inquiry in introductory biology labs can enhance students' experimental design skills and scientific confidence in this 48-minute conference talk by Dr. Tess L. Killpack and Dr. Sarah M. Fulmer. Delve into their research study design, course redesign strategies, and assessment methods used to evaluate the impact of scaffolding skill-building activities. Gain insights into the implications of their findings for improving undergraduate biology education and fostering students' sense of scientific ability. Learn about the course evaluations, personal skills ratings, and experimental design assessments used to measure the effectiveness of this approach. Discover practical strategies for implementing similar techniques in your own biology teaching to enhance student learning outcomes and scientific competence.
