Informed by the scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL), Connected Science presents a new approach to college science education for the 21st century. This interdisciplinary approach stresses integrative learning and pedagogies that engage students through open-ended inquiry, compelling real-world questions, and data-rich experiences. Faculty from a variety of disciplines and institutions present case studies based on research in the classroom, offering insights into student learning goals and best practices in curriculum design. Synthetic chapters bring together themes from the case studies, present an overview of the connected science approach, and identify strategies and future challenges to help move this work forward.

Arvustused

"A significant contribution to science pedagogy and to the scholarship of teaching and learning. . . . [ W]ill be of interest to researchers in the area of science education and to college and university faculty members who seek to improve their teaching."David W. Oxtoby, Pomona College "The educational philosophy presented in Connected Science draws upon existing reform movements in higher education but goes further by providing a more coherent and intentional integration of pedagogy, assessment, faculty scholarship, and student learning. This type of integration is sorely needed in educational reform initiatives."Trace Jordan, New York University
