by vivian finch, cft graduate teaching fellow<\/em><\/p>\n <\/a>“thinking stem, teaching stem” is a blog series that spotlights some of the videos produced at vanderbilt for the cirtl mooc course, \u201can introduction to evidence-based undergraduate stem teaching.<\/strong>\u201d this course drew on the\u00a0expertise of experienced stem faculty,\u00a0educational researchers, and representatives of university teaching centers.\u00a0 as previously mentioned, the series will loosely follow the thematic trajectory of the course through the following topics:<\/p>\n if you would like to see other installments of this blog series, please click the tag \u201cthinking stem, teaching stem\u201d at the bottom of this post.\u00a0 to access the videos featured in this series on youtube, please the cft’s\u00a0youtube channel<\/a> or go directly to our\u00a0blog playlist here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n last week, we mentioned the valuable role students play in an inquiry-based lab. \u00a0student-driven questions and research can be powerful motivators for both students and instructors. \u00a0these opportunities can be structured in a variety of different ways in the stem classroom, from experimental design to a literature review that helps generate student research questions to conducting authentic research. \u00a0what does that actually look like when inquiry-based approach is thoughtfully and intentionally implemented into a lab from beginning to end?<\/p>\n in the following video,\u00a0dr. cynthia brame, assistant director at the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分 and senior lecturer in the department of biological sciences here at 瑞士vs喀麦隆走地<\/strong>, introduces an example of an inquiry-based lab in a biological sciences course with students who have previously taken science coursework. \u00a0undergraduate students, gabrielle santiago and peter oakes, charles sissom, 瑞士vs喀麦隆走地 biological sciences lab staff, and dr. steve baskauf, lab director at 瑞士vs喀麦隆走地, all reflect on the structure of the lab and learning goals<\/strong>: from reading the literature to generate research questions to presenting conference posters to their peers and the biological sciences faculty at the end of the semester.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
