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

在动物行为学会和国际动物行为学会议（2011年7月25日至30日，印第安纳大学布卢明顿，印第安纳州）联合年度会议之前，本提案是为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：第一部分讨论科学教育变革的一般问题以及如何将其应用于动物行为的教学。美国国家科学院（NAS）教育与传播高级顾问杰伊·拉波夫（Jay Labov）将担任主要发言人。他的演讲将设置分组会议，参与者将处理生物学教学中面临的具体问题，特别是动物行为。第二部分着重探讨了改善科学教育的一种有效途径——案例研究法。该方法的创始人之一、国家中心（纽约州立大学布法罗分校）主任Kipp Herreid将主持一个研讨会，在这个研讨会上，参与者将学习案例研究教学的基本要素，并开始发展他们自己的案例。该研讨会响应了动物行为学社区对教与学的对话日益增长的兴趣，并呼吁提供最佳实践建议和收集有用的教材。

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.
