Thu, April 16, 12:00 to 1:30pm, Sheraton, Floor: Fourth Level, Chicago VI&VII

Abstract

This study explored and evaluated a network among scientists and educational specialists to develop the standards for biology undergraduate students. In particular, this study explored the collaboration among scientists and educational specialists and examined whether scientists and educational specialists learn from their collaboration and achieve expected collaboration goals. Preliminary analyses show that overall scientists and educational specialists (a) agreed that we need to improve the instruction and assessments of biological experimentation, (b) increased their self-rated knowledge about biological experimentation through their collaboration, (c) were satisfied with the effectiveness and experience of their collaboration.
