VISION AND CHANGE IN BIOLOGY EDUCATION: THE RISE OF DISCIPLINE SPECIFIC PRACTITIONERS ENGAGING IN THE SCHOLARSHIP OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AND THE IMPLICATIONS FOR FRESHWATER SCIENCE

The Vision and Change report identifies core concepts and competencies for undergraduate biology education and includes recommendations on how to improve undergraduate biology education to better prepare all undergraduates for the biology-related challenges of the 21st century. This has led to the growing movement of the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) in biology and an increase in inquiry-based learning in the classroom and lab. SoTL is an important and worthwhile form of scholarship and allows those with discipline specific research to advance the practice of teaching in their respective fields. The components of inquiry-based learning include: 1) eliciting prior knowledge, 2) construction of new and better understanding, and 3) a reflection on learning. It’s a constructivist approach whereby students are actively scaffolding knowledge based on their experiences and interactions. This presentation will provide an overview of SoTL, explore current teaching resources available through the Society of Freshwater Science, inform freshwater scientists on how to engage in this type of scholarship, and most importantly, encourage contributions that can educate students and the public to help in designing our freshwater futures.
