  1. Science education programming: conversations in context Cynthia Bauerle Department of Science Education HHMI ASPB Education Workshop Plant Biology 2011 Minneapolis, MN

  2. HHMI Department of Science Education Graduate and Medical Science Education Educational Resources • Holiday Lectures on Science • Biointeractive • Educational Partnerships • Int’l Student Research Fellowships • Medical Research Fellows • HHMI-NIH Research Scholars • Med into Grad Initiative • Gilliam Fellowships Precollege and Undergraduate Science Education Television and Film Division • Grants to Colleges and Universities • Grants to Biomedical Research Institutions • HHMI Professors • Science Education Alliance (SEA) • NGRI • Exceptional Research Opportunities Program (EXROP) • Local Area Initiatives • Science Documentary Initiative

  3. Undergraduate Science Education Aims • Preparing future scientists • Preparing future science educators • Preparing science literate citizens What works? Why? How do we know?

  4. Things we’ve learned so far • Disciplinary preparation • Opportunity to practice science • Support to persist in science • Measure student learning

  5. Science Education Programming What do you want to accomplish? What do you need to know to accomplish it? How will you know you’ve accomplished it? What can we learn from it?

  6. 2003 Recommendations: • Interdisciplinary connections • Quantitative skills development • Hands-on science experiences

  7. “Biological research is in the midst of a revolutionary change due to the integration of powerful technologies along with new concepts and methods derived from inclusion of physical sciences, mathematics, computational sciences, and engineering.” NRC 2009

  8. “The time has never been more critical to rethink what and how we teach to ensure that the biology we teach engages all students and reflects the biology we practice in the laboratory and in the field.” Carol Brewer, Co-Chair, 2011

  9. “This report represents the beginning of a broad dialogue within the undergraduate and medical education communities to reinvigorate the scientific preparation of physicians.” SFFP, 2009 http://www.hhmi.org/grants/pdf/08-209_AAMC-HHMI_report.pdf

  10. 5-year completion rate of STEM undergrads (Higher Education Research Institute, UCLA) Freeman Hrabowski, Chair NAS 2011

  11. “…we can now ask applicants to evaluate the impact of their programs by measuring student development rather than simply counting beings.” • David Asai, Director • HHMI Precollege and Undergraduate Science Education
