Biological Sciences (61)"Integrated Pedagogy to Promote Understanding of Nature of Science and Scientific Inquiry in a College Biology Laboratory" is creating learning materials and teaching strategies and conducting research on undergraduate STEM education via a multi-department, multi-institution collaboration. The project aims to increase student understanding of the nature of science (NOS) and scientific inquiry (SI) in response to findings that undergraduate science students do not understand NOS and SI and do not necessarily improve their understanding by performing science. Current research-based practice calls for incorporation of explicit reflection about NOS and SI as part of the science curriculum, and this project is employing a full factorial design to compare the efficacy of inquiry versus non-inquiry labs and reflective versus non-reflective practices on student learning of NOS and SI in introductory biology laboratories at both a 4-yr and a 2-yr institution. Project outcomes include: TA's better informed about NOS, SI, and innovative instructional techniques, a NOS / SI symposium, and a pilot lab manual.

生物科学（61）“在大学生物学实验室中促进对科学本质的理解和科学探究的综合教学法”正在通过多部门、多机构的合作，制作学习材料和教学策略，并开展本科STEM教育的研究。该项目旨在增加学生对科学（NOS）和科学探究（SI）的性质的理解，以应对本科理科学生不理解NOS和SI，并且不一定通过执行科学来提高他们的理解。目前的研究为基础的实践要求纳入明确的反思NOS和SI作为科学课程的一部分，该项目采用了全因子设计，以比较调查与非调查实验室和反思与非反思的做法对NOS和SI的学生学习的有效性在介绍生物实验室在4年制和2年制的机构。 项目成果包括：TA更好地了解NOS，SI和创新的教学技术，NOS / SI研讨会，和试点实验室手册。
