Workshop Support: Vision, Change and the Case Studies Approach (Bloomington, IN; 25-30 July)

这项提案是为动物行为学会和国际行为学会议(2011年7月25日至30日，印第安纳大学布鲁明顿分校)联合年会之前举办的为期一天的教育研讨会--愿景、变化和案例研究方法--提供资金。研讨会分为两部分：第一部分讨论了科学教育变革的一般问题，以及它们如何应用于动物行为教学。美国国家科学院(NAS)教育和传播高级顾问Jay Labov将担任主要演讲人。他的演讲将设立分组会议，与会者将讨论生物学教学面临的具体问题，特别是动物行为。第二部分介绍了改进科学教育的一种有效途径--案例研究法。KIPP Herreid是这种方法的创始人之一，也是国家中心(纽约州立大学布法罗分校)的主任，他将领导一个研讨会，在研讨会期间，参与者将学习案例研究教学的要点，并开始开发自己的案例。研讨会回应了人们对动物行为界日益增长的兴趣，他们希望就教与学进行对话，并呼吁就最佳做法和收集有用的教学材料提出建议。

This proposal is for funding for a daylong education workshop, Vision, Change and the Case Studies Approach, prior to the joint annual meeting of the Animal Behavior Society and the International Ethological Conference (July 25-30, 2011, University of Indiana, Bloomington, Indiana). The workshop has two parts: Part one addresses the general issues of change in science education and how they apply to the teaching of animal behavior. Jay Labov, Senior Advisor for Education and Communications at the National Academies of Science (NAS), will be the main speaker. His presentation will set up break-out sessions in which participants will deal with specific issues confronting the teaching of biology in general and animal behavior in particular. Part two focuses on one effective approach to improving science education, the case study method. Kipp Herreid, one of the founders of this method and director of the National Center (SUNY-Buffalo), will lead a workshop during which participants will learn the essentials of case study teaching and begin developing their own cases. The workshop responds to a growing interest in the animal behavior community for dialogue about teaching and learning and a call for recommendations for best practices and a collection of useful teaching materials.
