Integrated Pedagogy to Promote Understanding of Nature of Science and Scientific Inquiry in a College Biology Laboratory

（61）“在大学生物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”通过多部门、多机构的合作，正在创建学习材料和教学策略，并开展本科STEM教育的研究。该项目旨在提高学生对科学本质（NOS）和科学探究（SI）的理解，以回应本科生不理解NOS和SI的发现，并且不一定通过执行科学来提高他们的理解。当前基于研究的实践要求将NOS和SI的明确反思作为科学课程的一部分，本项目采用全因子设计来比较探究性与非探究性实验室、反思性与非反思性实践在4年制和2年制机构的入门生物学实验室中对学生学习NOS和SI的效果。项目成果包括：助教更好地了解NOS、SI和创新的教学技术，NOS / SI研讨会和试点实验室手册。

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.
