Abstract

The primary goal of the introductory biology laboratory courses at NMSU is to assist students as they develop a critical understanding of the scientific process. A multi-year study is being conducted to determine the effectiveness of inquiry-based lab exercises in achieving this goal. Preliminary data analyses indicate success in teaching some aspects of the scientific process in one introductory biology laboratory course.
