Learning Science by Engaging Religion: A Novel Two-Course Approach for Biology Majors
Eisen, Arri; Huang, Junjian
College Teaching, v62 n1 p25-31 2014
Many issues in science create individual and societal tensions with important implications outside the classroom. We describe one model that directly addresses such tensions by integrating science and religion in two parallel, integrated courses for science majors. Evaluation of the goals of the project--(1) providing students with strategies to identify and work through complex societal issues and their relation to science and (2) improving science knowledge and critical thinking skills--is presented.
