Biological Sciences (61)The PI is designing, implementing, and evaluating a model for integrating undergraduate research into a community college science curriculum. The intellectual merit of the project involves the development of inquiry-based educational materials (problem-based learning, case studies) for first-year science courses and a credit-bearing advanced sophomore-level course that is being used by students to conduct undergraduate research. The curriculum reform at both levels is being driven by undergraduate research initiatives developed under the mentorship of community college faculty. Novel student research projects are being established during the first year and expanded in the advanced sophomore-level course. The sophomore-level course curriculum includes training students as peer leaders to support the development of new student projects emerging from the freshman courses. The broader impacts of the project include a week-long workshop, which is being utilized to train faculty from Finger Lakes Community College (FLCC) and two other community colleges (Genesee Community College and Monroe Community College) in field and laboratory methods. To achieve the project goals, FLCC is collaborating with the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science, NSF #0341279) and Braddock Bay Raptor Research to develop project materials and research projects. Results of the project are being disseminated at a national conference of biology instructors.

生物科学（61）PI正在设计，实施和评估将本科研究纳入社区学院科学课程的模式。 该项目的智力价值包括为第一年的科学课程编写基于探究的教材（基于问题的学习、案例研究）和学生用于进行本科研究的学分制高级预科课程。 这两个层次的课程改革是由社区学院教师指导下开发的本科生研究计划推动的。 新的学生研究项目正在建立在第一年，并在高级讲师级课程扩展。 预科课程的课程包括培训学生作为同龄人的领导者，以支持从新生课程出现的新的学生项目的发展。 该项目的更广泛影响包括一个为期一周的讲习班，利用该讲习班对芬格湖社区学院和另外两所社区学院（杰内塞社区学院和门罗社区学院）的教员进行实地和实验室方法培训。 为了实现项目目标，FLCC与国家科学案例研究教学中心（NSF #0341279）和布洛克湾猛禽研究中心合作开发项目材料和研究项目。 该项目的成果正在全国生物学教员会议上传播。
