Do Biology Majors Really Differ from Non–STEM Majors?
Recent calls to action urge sweeping reform in science education, advocating for improved learning for all students-including those majoring in fields beyond the sciences. However, little work has been done to characterize the differences-if any exist-between students planning a career in science and those studying other disciplines. We describe an attempt to clarify, in broad terms, how non-ST...
متن کاملEffectively Teaching Majors and Non-majors in Hands-on Electrical Engineering Technology Courses
Modern technologies are remarkably interdisciplinary and often require knowledge of several fields. In particular, the accelerated technology development in electrical engineering with most of the industrial systems integrated with electronic solutions results in an increasing correlation among different disciplines. The goal of higher education institutions is to prepare highlyqualified gradua...
متن کاملGenetic Literacy of Undergraduate Non–Science Majors and the Impact of Introductory Biology and Genetics Courses
O the last several decades, the role of genetic technologies in health and public policy has persistently increased (Miller 1998, Kolstø 2001), and new knowledge in genetics continues to have significant implications for individuals and society (Lanie et al. 2004).Enhancing the general public’s understanding of genetics will improve communication regarding genetic information and technologies, ...
متن کاملStudents Enrolled in Biology Majors Pre-Requisite Courses: Effect of High School Academic Performance
The purpose of this study was to enhance the ability of an institution to provide biology major students the best opportunity to succeed. Grades are universally measured variables. Regardless of different instructors teaching the same course in different sections, the final course grade is combined for all the sections representing one course. This study reflects the differences in students as ...
متن کاملAssessment of the use of the Jigsaw Method and Active Learning in Non-majors, Introductory Biology
This project involved the use of two small, closely matched non-majors introductory biology classes to test the use of the Jigsaw method of teaching vs. a passive, instructor-oriented model of teaching. In this study, the Jigsaw method was used as a jumping off point for the teaching-learning of the material. Students were to learn the concepts of the chapters through the Jigsaw method and thei...
