TEACHING OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES (Intended for Teaching of Life Sciences, Physics, Chemistry and General Science) by Jasim Ahmad Pdf

The objective of teaching is not restricted to imparting scientific information to students, but also to help them apply these principles in their daily lives. This comprehensive book, written in an easy-to-understand language, covers the entire syllabus of teaching of Biological Sciences in particular and Science Teaching in general. In so doing, it takes into account the needs of teacher-trainees and in-service teachers. Organized into 19 chapters, the book discusses in detail the many facets and aspects of Biology/Science Teaching. The text introduces modern approaches to teaching, with the aim of improving student learning throughout their course. It emphasizes the need for pedagogical analysis vis- -vis subject teaching, constructive approach, laboratory work, Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE). In addition, the text highlights the difference between microteaching and simulated teaching. It also shows how e-learning and co-curricular activities can be successfully integrated in biological sciences teaching.

Discovery-Based Learning in the Life Sciences by Kathleen M. Susman Pdf

For nearly a decade, scientists, educators and policy makers have issued a call to college biology professors to transform undergraduate life sciences education. As a gateway science for many undergraduate students, biology courses are crucial to addressing many of the challenges we face, such as climate change, sustainable food supply and fresh water and emerging public health issues. While canned laboratories and cook-book approaches to college science education do teach students to operate equipment, make accurate measurements and work well with numbers, they do not teach students how to take a scientific approach to an area of interest about the natural world. Science is more than just techniques, measurements and facts; science is critical thinking and interpretation, which are essential to scientific research. Discovery-Based Learning in the Life Sciences presents a different way of organizing and developing biology teaching laboratories, to promote both deep learning and understanding of core concepts, while still teaching the creative process of science. In eight chapters, the text guides undergraduate instructors in creating their own discovery-based experiments. The first chapter introduces the text, delving into the necessity of science education reform. The chapters that follow address pedagogical goals and desired outcomes, incorporating discovery-based laboratory experiences, realistic constraints on such lab experiments, model scenarios, and alternate ways to enhance student understanding. The book concludes with a reflection on four imperatives in life science research-- climate, food, energy and health-- and how we can use these laboratory experiments to address them. Discovery-Based Learning in the Life Sciences is an invaluable guide for undergraduate instructors in the life sciences aiming to revamp their curriculum, inspire their students and prepare them for careers as educated global citizens.

Concepts of Biology by Samantha Fowler,Rebecca Roush,James Wise Pdf

Concepts of Biology is designed for the single-semester introduction to biology course for non-science majors, which for many students is their only college-level science course. As such, this course represents an important opportunity for students to develop the necessary knowledge, tools, and skills to make informed decisions as they continue with their lives. Rather than being mired down with facts and vocabulary, the typical non-science major student needs information presented in a way that is easy to read and understand. Even more importantly, the content should be meaningful. Students do much better when they understand why biology is relevant to their everyday lives. For these reasons, Concepts of Biology is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand.We also strive to show the interconnectedness of topics within this extremely broad discipline. In order to meet the needs of today's instructors and students, we maintain the overall organization and coverage found in most syllabi for this course. A strength of Concepts of Biology is that instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Concepts of Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand--and apply--key concepts.

High-School Biology Today and Tomorrow by National Research Council,Division on Earth and Life Studies,Commission on Life Sciences,Committee on High-School Biology Education Pdf

Biology is where many of science's most exciting and relevant advances are taking place. Yet, many students leave school without having learned basic biology principles, and few are excited enough to continue in the sciences. Why is biology education failing? How can reform be accomplished? This book presents information and expert views from curriculum developers, teachers, and others, offering suggestions about major issues in biology education: what should we teach in biology and how should it be taught? How can we measure results? How should teachers be educated and certified? What obstacles are blocking reform?

General Science by Charles H. Lake Pdf

Excerpt from General Science The question of what science shall be taught in the first year of the regular high school, or in the eighth or ninth years of the Junior High School, is becoming one of steadily increasing importance. The logical course for this period of the child's school life seems to be a general course in those elements of science which will form a foundation for the sciences which usually come later in the high school courses of study, and which will give the best training to those who may withdraw from school at the end of the ninth year. For a number of years physical geography was the science commonly taught in the ninth year. Teachers of this subject found that in order to do their best work, it was necessary to give a considerable portion of their time to teaching the elements of related sciences such as physics, chemistry, and botany. The same thing was true of the teachers of the biological sciences. This fact furnishes an excellent argument for the substitution of a course in general science for the sciences which were formerly taught in the first year of our high schools. First year science is intended for immature minds. It must be presented and illustrated in such a way that the pupil will not be confused with terms which are too technical nor with treatments of topics which are too advanced for him.
