This book is a guide for educators on how to develop and evaluate
evidence-based strategies for teaching biological experimentation
to thereby improve existing and develop new curricula. It unveils
the flawed assumptions made at the classroom, department, and
institutional level about what students are learning and what help
they might need to develop competence in biological
experimentation. Specific case studies illustrate a comprehensive
list of key scientific competencies that unpack what it means to be
a competent experimental life scientist. It includes explicit
evidence-based guidelines for educators regarding the teaching,
learning, and assessment of biological research competencies. The
book also provides practical teacher guides and exemplars of
assignments and assessments. It contains a complete analysis of the
variety of tools developed thus far to assess learning in this
domain. This book contributes to the growth of public understanding
of biological issues including scientific literacy and the crucial
importance of evidence-based decision-making around public policy.
It will be beneficial to life science instructors, biology
education researchers and science administrators who aim to improve
teaching in life science departments. Chapters 6, 12, 14 and 22 are
