Research Interests:
As a Science Faculty member with an Education
Specialty (SFES), I continue to develop my Biology Education
Research and Development program around questions about how
best to bring scientific thinking skills and scientific literacy
to all students, not only science majors. To reach this goal
there are three components to my program:
- Implementing
and adapting published
teaching and learning
strategies, as well
as designing innovative
methods for the students
that attend BGSU and
take introductory level
Biological Sciences
courses.
- Preparing
future faculty for
participation in the
scholarship of teaching
and learning.
- Establishing
and developing Faculty
Learning Communities,
to open and sustain
a dialogue that allows
us to talk about teaching
scientifically in a
supportive and collaborative
way.
