Question: How would you assess learning resources designed to help students think critically?
“Many issues about student learning are connected with motivating students to think critically and inspire them to take ownership and initiative for their own learning.” (Batzli et al 2006)
Consider the following statement:
Talk-to-your-neighbor....

Design classroom research
Faculty research goal:
Use both observational and empirical approaches to answer a question about student learning.
Student goals:
Use effective and repeatable processes to address ill-structured problems.
Demonstrate critical thinking.

Systematic observation
• Design an ill-structured problem.
• Students use guiding questions in groups.
• Instructor uses systematic observations to identify elements of the problem that are difficult for students.

Guiding questions
1.What things do you know or think you know about this problem?
2.What things do you not know?
3.What things are not known in the scientific community studying similar problems?
4.What things can you find out, given review papers, primary scientific literature, and data?

How would you alter this design for your course?
• Objective: assess students’ higher-level thinking.
• What is the question?
• How would you change the problem?
• Would students do the problem in class, homework, lab, discussion section?
• Schemes to evaluate work.
• Classroom research design.

•Changes in a population occur through a gradual change in individual members of a population.
•New traits in species are developed in response to need.
•All members of a population are genetically equivalent, variation and fitness are not considered.
•Traits acquired during an individual’s lifetime will be inherited by offspring.
Alternative Conceptions: Natural Selection
