Introducing Inquiry In A Biology Lab For Non-Majors
Tested Studies in Laboratory Teaching, 2001, Volume 22
Abstract
In this mini-workshop, the participants experienced a laboratory activity using the inquiry approach. This activity is used to introduce inquiry to non-major students including pre-service teachers, in a one-credit Biology laboratory. The new lab emphasizes scientific inquiry and critical thinking skills especially needed by the elementary education majors. The laboratory course, adapted from an NSF funded investigative, non-major Biology laboratory at Clemson University, includes inquiry investigations in a computer-based facility in which the computer serves as the laboratory notebook.
