This award will support the establishment of a new network (NeuroCaseNet) for current and future faculty that are developing, using, and evaluating case studies and Problem Based Learning (PBL) teaching methods in the neuroscience curricula. While there is strong support for neuroscience education within this large and diverse community, the adoption of case studies and PBL methods within neuroscience courses is far less developed. Finding appropriate teaching resources, in part due to the interdisciplinary nature of neuroscience and the rapid growth of neuroscience programs, is a strong challenge. This network will provide collaboration opportunities for educators with a strong interest in using these pedagogies in the classroom and create a platform for the discussion and dissemination of new teaching resources for the broader neuroscience education community. The increased faculty and future faculty collaboration on creating case studies stimulated by the network promises to enhance neuroscience education in all institutional contexts.The broad objectives of this network are twofold: to provide collaboration opportunities for educators with a strong interest in using these pedagogies in the classroom and to create a platform for the discussion and dissemination of new teaching resources for the broader neuroscience community. The network is organized into cohorts of case writers, each with 6-8 Fellows of whom are experienced in cases/PBL methodologies. These Fellows will work collaboratively to create publishable case studies via focused workshops. The Journal of Undergraduate Neuroscience Education will be a primary vehicle for dissemination of these pedagogical tools to the wider neuroscience education community. The network then provides support for Fellows to create their own peer-mentoring groups which is intended to both support the generation of a new rounds of case writers but more importantly to encourage and promote implementation of case studies and PBL in the classroom. The network will partner with established promotors of neuroscience education, specifically the Faculty for Undergraduate Neuroscience and the Society for Neuroscience to education and inform the community of these new curricular tools. Thus, with the creation of new curricular materials via the case writing Fellows and peer mentoring groups to encourage and support the implementation of these case studies, the network will have a strong impact in promoting pedagogical change in STEM disciplines. This project is being jointly funded by the Directorate for Biological Sciences and the Directorate for Education and Human Resources, Division of Undergraduate Education as part of their efforts to address the challenges posed in Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action (http://visionandchange/finalreport/).

该奖项将支持建立一个新的网络（Neurocasenet），用于正在开发，使用和评估案例研究和基于问题的学习（PBL）教学方法的当前和未来教师。尽管在这个庞大而多样化的社区中对神经科学教育有强烈的支持，但在神经科学课程中采用案例研究和PBL方法的发展远不足以发达。找到适当的教学资源，部分原因是神经科学的跨学科性质和神经科学计划的快速增长，这是一个巨大的挑战。该网络将为有兴趣在课堂上使用这些教学法的教育工作者提供合作机会，并为讨论和传播新的教学资源为更广泛的神经科学教育社区创建平台。该网络刺激的案例研究的教师和未来的教师合作越来越有望在所有机构背景下增强神经科学教育。该网络的广泛目标是双重的：为在课堂上使用这些教育的教育者提供合作的机会，并为新的教学资源提供了新的教学资源的平台，以为广泛的神经科学社区提供新的教学资源。该网络被组织成案例作家的同类，每个人都有6-8名研究员在案例/PBL方法中经验丰富。这些研究员将通过重点研讨会进行协作，以创建可发布的案例研究。本科神经科学教育杂志将是向更广泛的神经科学教育社区传播这些教学工具的主要工具。然后，该网络为研究员提供了支持，以创建自己的同伴招牌群体，这些团体既要支持新的案例作家的一轮，但更重要的是鼓励和促进课堂上的案例研究和PBL的实施。该网络将与已建立的神经科学教育的启动者合作，特别是本科生神经科学学院和教育神经科学学会，并将这些新的课程工具告知社区。因此，通过案例写作研究员和同伴指导小组创建新的课程材料，以鼓励和支持这些案例研究的实施，该网络将对促进STEM学科的教学变化产生重大影响。该项目由生物科学局和教育和人力资源局共同资助，本科教育司，作为解决本科生物学教育中愿景和变化所面临的挑战的一部分，诉讼：http：// visionandChange/finalreport/fivil and report/fines to to Claste to Calling opance to Calling to Claste to Claste to Calling to Calling to Calling to Clastection Chall。
