Presentation Transcript

  1. Research Problem I have found that my non-biology major students sometimes have a difficult time learning concepts in class when I use a lot of scientific terminology.

  2. Research Question Will students learn better when biology material is delivered to them in everyday language compared to material delivered with scientific terminology?

  3. Research Methods

  4. Alignment of Research Question and Methods My research methods will assess the students’ understanding of concepts after instruction in everyday language vs instruction in scientific language. I will use GPA and a baseline terminology survey to help understand the role of prior knowledge. I will conduct the experiment over 2 semesters so I test the 2 different types of instruction with similar students. The data will hopefully tell me which type of instruction is more effective AND will examine student experience during the learning process.
