Student Evaluations of the Experience |
|
| Elaine Seymour discusses the findings related to small group learning from
a comparative study of student responses to change in the teaching of undergraduate
chemistry at a sample of ten institutions. Group learning is one aspect of a shift to a
more active "modular" pedagogy currently being developed and adapted by
participants in two multi-institution chemistry initiative funded by the NSF. Elaine Seymour is Director of Ethnography & Evaluation Research at the Bureau of Sociological Research, the University of Colorado, Boulder where much of her work is concerned with the processes of change in undergraduate science education. She is the co-evaluator for two of the NSF consortia for the reform of undergraduate chemistry, and a 1997/98 NISE Fellow working with the College Level One Team. |
