- About this organization:
-
The CU Science Education Initiative is…
a university-supported, 5-year, $5M project to improve how we teach science to all undergraduate students. The project focuses on:
1) supporting faculty to approach the teaching of science as a science, that is to:
* Identify difficulties in and develop an understanding of student learning by using or developing research-based tools/techniques to monitor student learning.
* Use instructional approaches guided by research on learning and measures of student learning.
* Develop and utilize beneficial educational technology.
* Archive and disseminate proven methods and materials.
2) supporting institutional change through departmentally-driven efforts to achieve sustained improvements in their students’ learning.
