Educating Teachers for the Future: A roundtable discussion on biology lab curriculum for pre-service elementary and middle school teachers
Tested Studies in Laboratory Teaching, 2005, Volume 26
Abstract
This workshop was presented as a follow up to past ABLE mini-workshops (Lyke 1995; Martin 1996). During the workshop, participants discussed methods used in their biology labs to educate and excite future (pre-service) teachers. The discussion began with an outline of a pilot biology lab curriculum for pre-service teachers at the University of Dayton. The goals, objectives, and curriculum for the pre-service biology lab were shared. Furthermore, information about the national science content standards and inquiry-based teaching was provided along with a list of resources for those developing similar labs/courses. Participants of the workshop were asked to exchange ideas, to support each other ventures, to provide additional resources, and to explore thoughts on our role in educating future teachers.
