We’ve been visiting lots of classrooms this year, to see what’s going on in biology teaching, and to try to make connections between classroom practices and student learning. The data so far are pretty interesting, and we (Megan & Lisa, on behalf of the whole LS-STLF team) presented our preliminary results at the Science Education Open House yesterday.
We had lots of great discussion at the poster session, and are looking forward to analyzing the term 2 data as well. Thanks to the Open House organizers for running an excellent event, to the attendees for their questions and comments, and most of all, to the MANY instructors and students in Biology who support our work!
The poster is attached below, for anyone interested in taking a closer look – we’re happy to discuss further if you’re interested. Also – if your classroom was part of this study and you’d like to see how your class data fits in with this larger picture, let us know! (Term 1 data so far only… stay tuned for Term 2, and more discussion of our results!)
Link to our lovely greyscale poster is here!
There were lots of fantastic other posters as well. So much incredible education research going on here at UBC, across the sciences! We’ll post a link to the other posters once they become available.
