在过去的30年里，本科教育的领导者呼吁科学教学法的变革，以反映科学的过程，以及发展专业技能，应用新的和新兴的技术，并提供更多的实践经验。这些建议建议的教学策略，包括积极的学习方法，不断增加学习，概念理解，学科知识与技能发展的整合，保留本科生在科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）专业，和包容性。为了深入了解当前的实践和教学方法，我们在2021年对美国哺乳动物学家协会的成员进行了调查。调查包括两个固定回答的问题（例如，选择题或Likert量表）和开放式问题，每个问题都询问教师有关哺乳动物学或实地哺乳动物学课程的结构和内容。在这些课程中，我们发现讲课仍然是呈现课程内容或信息的主要工具（= 65%的时间）;尽管如此，大多数教师报告说，结合其他教学策略，从暂停讲座让学生提问到结合积极的学习方法，如辩论或案例研究。大多数教师报告说，将技能发展和包容性的教学实践，64%的报告说，他们认为有必要改变或更新他们的哺乳动物学课程或教学方法。总体而言，我们的研究结果表明，哺乳动物学教师有浓厚的兴趣，在培训学生分享他们的欣赏哺乳动物，并普遍从事努力，以提高他们的教学效果，通过纳入更多的以学生为中心的方法来教学和学习。
In the past 30 years, leaders in undergraduate education have called for transformations in science pedagogy to reflect the process of science as well as to develop professional skills, apply new and emerging technologies, and to provide more hands-on experience. These recommendations suggest teaching strategies that incorporate active learning methods that consistently increase learning, conceptual understanding, integration of subject knowledge with skill development, retention of undergraduate students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) majors, and inclusivity. To gain insight into current practices and pedagogy we surveyed members of the American Society of Mammalogists in 2021. The survey consisted of both fixed-response questions (e.g., multiple-choice or Likert-scale) and open-ended questions, each of which asked instructors about the structure and content of a Mammalogy or field Mammalogy course. In these courses, we found that lecturing was still a primary tool for presenting course content or information (= 65% of the time); nonetheless, most instructors reported incorporating other teaching strategies ranging from pausing lectures for students to ask questions to incorporating active learning methods, such as debates or case studies. Most instructors reported incorporating skill development and inclusive teaching practices, and 64% reported that they perceived a need to change or update their Mammalogy courses or their teaching approaches. Overall, our results indicate that Mammalogy instructors have a strong interest in training students to share their appreciation for mammals and are generally engaged in efforts to increase the effectiveness of their teaching through the incorporation of more student-centered approaches to teaching and learning.
