Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biology is where many of science's most exciting and relevant advances are taking place. Yet, many students leave school without having learned basic biology principles, and few are excited enough to continue in the sciences. Why is biology education failing? How can reform be accomplished? This book presents information and expert views from curriculum developers, teachers, and others, offering suggestions about major issues in biology education: what should we teach in biology and how should it be taught? How can we measure results? How should teachers be educated and certified? What obstacles are blocking reform?

Download or read book Teaching Secondary School Biology written by Emmanuel Toili and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first edition of the book that focuses on equipping the pre-service and the practicing teachers of biology with the current knowledge and skills in biology education. The book is a response to the demand for such a book by practicing teachers, teacher trainees, and trainers in secondary school biology education.The book targets students training to become biology teachers at the Diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The book will also be a useful resource material for practicing teachers of biology in secondary schools and quality assurance officers and teacher trainers in universities and colleges. The book is based on the premise that potential teachers of biology are fairly well grounded in the various courses in botany and zoology, which provide more advanced biological knowledge than what is prescribed in the syllabi for secondary schools. The teachers are therefore required to adopt the advanced knowledge to suit the students in secondary schools. This requires the teachers to use professional approaches that facilitate the learning of biology notwithstanding the advanced biological knowledge on the ground. This book is about how we can help learners understand and appreciate the science of life.The book is presented in a simple, clear and Standard English language augmented with diagrammatic illustrations, pictures, and tables that are intended to motivate the reader. The book has also several tasks and exercises to get the readers to reflect on what they read and to further extend their knowledge. In addition, the book provides a summary of the information at the end of each chapter to help the reader recapitulate the content of the chapter.

Download or read book Hard to teach Biology Concepts written by Susan Koba and published by NSTA Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This well-researched book provides a valuable instructional framework for high school biology teachers as they tackle five particularly challenging concepts in their classrooms, meiosis, photosynthesis, natural selection, proteins and genes, and environmental systems and human impact. The author counsels educators first to identify students' prior conceptions, especially misconceptions, related to the concept being taught, then to select teaching strategies that best dispel the misunderstandings and promote the greatest student learning. The book is not a prescribred set of lesson plans. Rather it presents a framework for lesson planning, shares appropriate approaches for developing student understanding, and provides opportunities to reflect and apply those approached to the five hard-to-teach topics. More than 300 teacher resources are listed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Biology in the Secondary School The advances which botany has made in America during the last twenty-five years have been not alone in the science itself and in its economic phases, but also in the field of education. From being an occasional study, it has become in our best schools a constant element in the curriculum. Instead of the superficial examination of the external structures of flowers - a study supposed to be rather of the nature of an accomplishment than a means for wholesome discipline - the good course in botany of the present time presents the important ideas of all the phases of the science, and is based upon the observation and experimentation of living plants. These changes have made necessary the employment of teachers with a special mental equipment for their peculiar task. From being taught incidentally, botany has become the chief concern of a large body of men and women who have received the best training our schools have afforded. The most important criticism which may be made at the present time is that those who enter the profession of teaching in the field of botany, and its allied subject, zoology, do so generally without any special consideration of the problems which they are called upon to face in their work. It is to bring the student face to face with these problems and to prepare him for their intelligent consideration, that this book has been written.

This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biological Teaching in the Colleges of the United States The absolute necessity for considerable Science teaching in any liberal course Of study is now generally admitted, and teachers seem almost unanimous in believing that the training in methods is the primary Object Of such work, and that the information involved, important though it is, must be given a subordinate place. It follows, therefore, that if the quality Of teaching is what it should be, the methods Of Scientific inquiry, SO far at least as they are common to all branches, may be learned by studies in one department of science quite as well as in any other. It follows, too, that in the arrangement Of studies, in a college curriculum at least, all sciences must be given an approximately equal rank, equal SO far as the general character Of the logical methods is concerned, and varying principally in the extent to which they depend upon the two sources Of information - observation and experiment. It is as a means of training the observational powers that biology 1s chiefly valuable. In this respect it is surpassed by no one Of the natural sciences, and indeed it possesses certain features which it shares with none Of them. In spite Of this the general improvement in the methods of teaching biology has come much 'later than in any Of the sister sciences. In seeking for the cause of this it seems evident that the introduction Of practical and rational methods into the teaching Of chemistry and physics has been greatly facilitated by popular ap preciation based upon the very erroneous but widespread idea that the final end and aim Of chemistry is the ability to determine the composi tion Of unknown substances, while physics finds a justification for its existence only in such occasional discoveries as the electric light and the phonograph. The educational value Of practical work in chemistry and physics seems, therefore, to have been something Of an after thought, and to have been demonstrated only after such work had been performed for a considerable time with other Objects in view.
