Computer Applications to Enhance Inquiry-Oriented Instruction in Biology The general problem of scientific-technical literacy as well as the enhancement of inquiry-oriented laboratory instruction in biology is addressed. Specific goals are to increase scientific literacy, reasoning skills, and the number of students succeeding in introductory biology courses. Also, these goals will be achieved by developing, evaluating and integrating into the curriculum a set of computer applications designed to reinforce biology concepts with laboratory activities. Efforts will be focused on an introductory biology course at a 2-year college that serves a nontraditional undergraduate population. Student populations will include more women, Hispanics, Native Americans and older students. The resultant inquiry-based model of laboratory instruction is also expected to be used as a model for computer technology in bio- science education.***//

计算机在生物探究式教学中的应用探讨了科学技术素养和加强生物探究式实验教学的共性问题。具体目标是提高科学素养、推理能力和成功参加生物入门课程的学生数量。此外，这些目标将通过开发、评估一套计算机应用程序并将其整合到课程中来实现，该应用程序旨在通过实验室活动加强生物学概念。努力的重点将是在一所服务于非传统本科生的两年制大学开设一门生物学入门课程。学生群体将包括更多的女性、西班牙裔、美洲原住民和年龄较大的学生。由此产生的以探究为基础的实验室教学模式也有望被用作计算机技术在生物科学教育中的模式。
