生态学和进化论教育经常利用现场教学来传授关键的学习成果。由于 COVID-19 大流行,传统上在现场教授的学习成果需要远程教学,这给学生、教师和机构带来了独特的挑战。 2020 年春季对 117 名教师进行的一项调查显示,通常在现场教授的学习成果大幅减少,并且频繁地用不太活跃、更多以教师为中心的远程活动替代现场活动。该调查显示,教师普遍对许多远程教学替代持负面看法,但也显示了教师认为更有效的几种方法,尽管公平教学存在潜在挑战。根据本次调查的结果,我提出了几种远程替代传统现场教学的识别、现场技术、数据收集和研究设计的模型。
Education in ecology and evolution often utilizes field instruction to teach key learning outcomes. Remote teaching of learning outcomes that have been traditionally taught in the field, necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, presents unique challenges for students, instructors, and institutions. A survey of 117 faculty conducted during spring 2020 revealed substantial reduction of learning outcomes typically taught in the field, and frequent substitutions of less active and more instructor-centered remote activities for field activities. The survey revealed generally negative instructor views on many remote teaching substitutions, yet also showed several approaches that instructors regarded as more effective, despite potential challenges with equitably teaching them. I suggest several models of remote substitutions for traditional field teaching of identification, field techniques, data collection, and study design in the context of the results of this survey.
