bioCEED – Centre of Excellence in Biology Education

Hvorfor en SFU i BIOlogi?

Content knowledge Practical skills Societal relevance The BIO-logist Hva krever dette av biologiutdanningen?

Hvorfor oss?

Vi underviser dypt og bredt…. Teori / Empiri / Metoder Fra molekyler til global skala Fra 0 – millioner av år Mønstre og prosesser De fleste fyla, biomer, økosystemer, ….. Forelesninger – lab – felt – øvelser – praksis Praksisnær utdannelse (fiskehelse)

Vi er allerede i gang…. m m m m m m

Vi har en plan! Content knowledge Practical skills Societal relevance ta i bruk hele det biologiske ‘triangelet’ i undervisningen – gi studentene erfaringer med teoretisk fagkunnskap, praktiske ferdigheter, og samfunnsrelevante oppgaver gjennom hele studieløpet. Dette vil vi oppnå blant annet gjennom å: fortsette satsingen på ‘felt og lab’ tilby utplassering i forskning, forvaltning og næring

Skift fra ‘lærer 1 -fokus til lærer 2 -fokus’ i utdanningene våre… Studentene har hovedansvar for læringen! Involvere studentene aktivt (fysisk, virtuelt og intellektuelt) ‘Formativ evaluering’ Lære av oss selv – overføre det beste fra forskerkulturen til undervisningen! Samarbeid mot felles mål Fokus på dokumentasjon og etterprøvbarhet Kollegavurdering, diskusjon og debatt Internasjonalisering Fokus på, og premiering av, resultater 1 ’teacher’ 2 ’learner’ Vi har en plan!

WP1: Teacher culture WP2: Learning environments WP0: bioCEED project coordination WP3: Active students WP5: Educational leadership WP4: Activity alignment WP7: Sector/societal interaction WP6: Spread best educational practice

Noen av grepene… Strategy 1: A collegial learning culture among teachers Shift from ‘teaching’ to ‘learning’ perspective in teacher thinking and practice Develop a culture of shared responsibility for students, courses, and programmes Create physical, social, and virtual ‘spaces’ for sharing experience and ideas WP 1: A collegial learning culture among teachers (WP leader: BIO) Annual ‘teacher’s retreat’ where teaching, learning, and curricula are discussed. Each retreat will explore a specific theme in presentations, discussions, and group work. Appoint two adjunct Professors (educational scientists) to provide a conduit for exchange of new ideas, discuss and evaluate actions, and publish BioCEED findings. Develop ‘Teacher groups’ that share responsibility for education across related courses Promote teaching skills renewal at all career stages through pedagogic courses and educational ‘sabbaticals’ to exchange ideas and develop curricula Develop a web forum for presenting and discussing methods and experience.

Strategy 2: Optimal learning environments Align curricula, skills training, practice opportunities, and evaluation with learning goals Optimize the physical and digital learning environment to foster learning across the biological ‘domain’ (content knowledge, skills, and societal relevance; Fig. 1) Continuous optimisation of technical and administrative support to educational needs Engage staff and students in renewal of the broader learning environment WP 2: Learning environments (WP leader: BIO) Expand the learning environment through integrating field, lab, and internships Develop student spaces (room for active, interactive, and varied learning experiences). Set up an exploratory ‘digital pack’ where the potential of emerging new technologies in education is explored and assessed, focusing especially on lab and field education. Increase education support though appointing dedicated educational technical staff, and through targeted training and exchange visits for technical and administrative staff

Hvem er bioCEED?

WP2 WP1 WP5WP6 BioCEED leadership: Centre leader and steering committee BioCEED Advisory Board The BioCEED consortium: Leadership of BIO, DAB, HERU and IMR General Assembly Figure x. Project leadership, co-ordination, communication, and responsbilities. Governing (solid outline) and advisory (hatched outline) bodies are represented as rectangles, the educational activity at each of the partner insitutions as circles, project work pacages as stacked disks, and decision-making and advisory communication as filled and open arrows, respectively. Core CEEB activites are indicated in dark blue, relationshoipt to related activity at the partner institutions and with external bodies are inidcated in light blue.

Hva nå… 8 videre (av 23) – vi er en av dem…. «transformation of biology eductation in a visionary way» ‘Site visit’ 6. september -møte studenter, samarbeidspartnere, undervisere, ansatte, institusjons og senterledelse Det kommer info på mail – please read…

Hva gjør vi BRA? - Hva funker IKKE så godt? Hva kan vi gjøre BEDRE? - Hva bør vi SLUTTE med? Hva TRENGER vi - nye tiltak, folk og ting?

Strategy 3: Active and motivated students Set learning goals that engage students actively in pursuit of competence across the biological ‘domain’ (content knowledge, skills, and societal relevance; Fig. 1) Integrate development of problem-solving and learning-to-learn skills in the curriculum Increase hands-on experience with research, industries, management and education Provide students with formative feedback WP 3: Active students (WP leader: AB) Redesign programmes and courses and set learning goals that engage students actively in their pursuit of competence across the biological ‘domain’ (Fig. 1, see A14-A17) Integrate problem-solving and learning-to-learn skills across the curriculum Use students actively in planning and conducting learning activities; provide opportunities for extra involvement and activities, based on student interests Offer internships in the public and private sector and research laboratories from year 1 Provide certification (acquired competence in specific topic, lab and field security, etc.)

Strategy 4: Aligned quality assurance, evaluation, goals and practice Develop quality assurance and evaluation as tools for monitoring progress, recognizing and rewarding excellence, and spreading ‘best practice’ Encourage and conduct learning ‘experiments’, and document and report outcomes WP 4: Align quality assurance, evaluation, goals, practice (WP leader: HERU) Develop quality assurance and evaluation methods that enables monitoring of progress and spread of ‘best practice’ (see WP1) Focus on institutional learning in implementation of The Qualifications FrameworkThe Qualifications Framework Appoint and supervise two PhD students to do their research on BioCEED activities Experiment with and assess selected traditional and new learning methods, e.g., deliberate practice 3, flipped classroom 4, open labs, ‘gaming attitude’ in students 5, teaching-on-demand. Develop new learning methods that link theory and practice across the biological ‘domain’(Fig. 1) Expand alternative learning methods, and reduce lecturing by 20% relative to 2011.

Strategy 5: Efficient leadership of education Appoint and empower ‘leaders of education’ as part of institutional leaderships Integrate education and research in institutional strategies and goals Identify and remove (infrastructure) obstacles to development and change Develop links to the higher education sector (within our institutions, in Norway, abroad) WP 5: Strengthen and empower educational leadership (WP leader: AB) Appoint and empower ‘education leaders’ as part of institutional leaderships Integrate and align teaching and research in strategic planning at the institutions Identify and remove obstacles to development and change, and develop actions and strategies to remove or mitigate them (local, institutional and national level) Incorporate teaching and education efforts and success into staff reward systems Explicitly promote education in our internal communication (weekly newsletter, web,...)

Strategy 6: Spread of ‘best practice’ Enable learning and sharing of experience within BioCEED and beyond through virtual sites and tools, working groups/workshops, and an open biology education conference WP 6: Spread of ‘best practice’ (WP leader: HERU) Develop the web forum (A8) into a well-structured freely-accessible ‘idea-bank’ and discussion forum for biology educators. Publish project results in educational science journals and in educational practice fora. Develop ‘test cases’ that will be tried out in other biology educations in Norway Arrange an open, international conference in biology education every 3 years, with shifting focus to match project needs and development of knowledge

Strategy 7: Interact with end-users and stakeholders in the private and public sector Increase and systematise communication with employers, end- users, and biology alumni to better understand society’s needs and to communicate the contributions of biologists Develop mechanisms for student placement within the sector during BSc and MSc Work package 7: Strengthen links between education and society (WP leader: IMR) Annual meetings between BioCEED students and industry and sector representatives to echange ideas and communicate biologists’ contributions and society’s needs BioCEED workshops with end-user panels to discuss biology-society interactions Present BioCEED findings in sector-specific journals and meetings
