Structured Controversy-XXVI-2.pdf (application/pdf Object) Start With a Story: The Case Method of Teaching College Science (9781933531069): Clyde Freeman Herreid. Teaching strategies. If you have dropped into this Course Design Tutorial from somewhere else, you might wish to start at the introduction, overview, or table of contents.

Teaching strategies

If you are working through the tutorial, you should have completed Part 2.1 before beginning this section. At this stage of the tutorial, you have set overarching goals, organized content, and developed a course plan with ideas for how to give students the practice that will make it possible for them to achieve the course goals. In this section of the tutorial, you will make choices about what you will have students do in order to learn the course content and practice the goals. Before presenting a smorgasbord of teaching strategies, this section of the tutorial will explore briefly what is known about how people learn. Start by downloading the worksheet (Microsoft Word 22kB Jun16 05) that goes with this part, and use it as you work through the sections below.

Student Learning Research shows clearly that a person must be engaged to learn.

Today thousands of K-16 teachers are using the method and there are major websites that post hundreds of case studies and teaching notes in all STEM disciplines, especially the biological sciences. It is a puzzle why more chemists and other physical scientists have not embraced the method, since there is strong evidence that it is superior to the traditional lecture approach. But since there are over a dozen different methods of case teaching, which variation is the best surely depends upon an instructor’s goals. The Past: A hundred years have passed since the Harvard Law and Business Schools adopted case study teaching. McMaster University’s Medical School was to get into the case study business in education in a big way in the 1970’s.

Animal_reproduction_notes.pdf (application/pdf Object) Case It Home Page - free molecular biology computer simulations simulation software. Case It! Is a National Science Foundation - sponsored project which provides a framework for collaborative case-based learning via free, open-ended molecular biology simulations and cases based primarily on genetic and infectious disease .

Case It v6.06 * is a simulation that performs common laboratory procedures on any DNA or protein sequence. It has all of the capabilities of the earlier version (6.05), but adds new features such as SNP and expression microarrays. CaseItv6.06 must be used in conjunction with MEGA4 or MEGA5 ** to fully implement bioinformatics features. See the new getting started link for instructions on integrating Case It and MEGA, both of which are free of charge for educational use. Case descriptions are in the Student version of the Resource Manual. Note : We are in the process of converting older tutorials to the new screencase video format.

from Psychology: An Introduction by Russ Dewey

" They include hunger, thirst, the pursuit of pleasure, and the avoidance of pain. Most living creatures do what they must to obtain food and water. That is why these are termed primary reinforcers. How was Hull's theory ambitious? Hull's theory was one of the first systematic attempts to explain motivation. What stereotype is due partly to Hull's theory? Research on Hull's theory is largely responsible for an old stereotype of experimental psychologists as lab-coated figures watching rats run through mazes for cheese reinforcement. Why should students know about Hull's theory? For beginning students, Hull's theory remains relevant in several ways.

The Hullian Approach In the 1930s, Clark Hull undertook to construct a grand theory that he thought would unite all psychology. Clark Hull What concept was featured in Cannon's book? Where did motivation come from, according to Hull? Case Study Collection. Team#1 P451 Spring 2010. Homeostasis case study. Intrepretive Skills.
