Our Current Challenge: Introductory Biology in collaboration with Chris Paradise

Vocabulary is emphasized Experimental approaches are minimized Math is absent Memorization is rewarded Critical thinking is discouraged Information is irrelevant to students What’s Wrong with Biology Education Now?

Too much content for the containers

If we currently cover all the important stuff…. …how can we add more content?

Start with the literature…

To fix biology education: Reduce the volume of information Facilitate construction of students’ knowledge Use math repeatedly to illuminate biology Analyze real experimental data Reward thinking and creativity Discuss ethical, legal, social implications

Present information and data…

… in the context of the big picture.

Real Data and Integrating Questions

Ethical, Legal and Social Implications Are religion and evolution compatible? Is science possible if you are uncertain about what is true? Who owns your DNA? Does basic biology have any impact on the real world?
