Leveraging Laboratory Activities to Achieve STEM Education Reforms

Leveraging Lab Activities(2)
The purpose of this research is to strengthen scientific teaching strategies, student-centered pedagogues, and teaching/learning scholarship in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) departments at Calvin College.

This project involved reviewing data from past semesters and working toward a new lab manual, as well as sharing findings in the form of manuscripts for publication in professional journals. Through development and testing of multi-week investigatory models, the goal of this project is to devise learning environments in cellular and molecular biology laboratory courses where master of interdisciplinary science competencies is integrated with the best educational practices.

Departments

Biology

Serious about science and faith?

You’ll fit right in here. As a Calvin biology major, you’ll learn more than just facts, data, and theories. You’ll gain the critical thinking skills behind great science and learn how to apply them to many fields.

All biology programs aren’t the same. At Calvin...

Chemistry and Biochemistry

Let's go smaller. And bigger.

Are you thinking about a small, private university with small classes but limited options for research? Or are you interested in a big research institution, even though it has large classes often taught by graduate students?

There is another option: Calvin.

Mathematics and Statistics

Study the language by which the book of the universe can be read.

Physicists use the language of mathematics to “read” matter and energy. Musicians use it to “read” rhythm and harmony. Statisticians and data scientists use mathematics to “read” patterns in data. When you study mathematics and...
