BIOL455

School of Health & Natural Sciences

In this capstone course for the Biology Education track, students will connect theory to practice by completing a weekly fieldwork placement in a formal or informal educational setting, in which they support experienced science educators and observe their practices. Four hours of fieldwork per week is required or the equivalent of 60 hours total per semester. In addition, during weekly seminars, students will use action research principles to create a case study to examine, through data analysis, an aspect of science teaching and learning in order to better improve understanding of scientific principles for a specific audience.
