Drinkwater, Michael J.; Matthews, Kelly E.; Seiler, Jacob – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2017
While there is a wealth of research evidencing the benefits of active-learning approaches, the extent to which these teaching practices are adopted in the sciences is not well known. The aim of this study is to establish an evidential baseline of teaching practices across a bachelor of science degree program at a large research-intensive…

The Departmental Script as an Ongoing Conversation into the Phronesis of Teaching Science as Inquiry
Melville, Wayne; Campbell, Todd; Fazio, Xavier; Bartley, Anthony – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2012
This article investigates the extent to which a science department script supports the teaching and learning of science as inquiry and how this script is translated into individual teachers' classrooms. This study was completed at one school in Canada which, since 2000, has developed a departmental script supportive of teaching and learning of…
