Animal Behavior Observation as a Gateway to Scientific Inquiry for Non-majors
No full textUndergraduate science educators often face challenges when designing hands-on assignments that are both engaging and accessible for non-science majors. These challenges are heightened in today’s varied course structures, which may be in person, online, or hybrid, and in formats ranging from four to sixteen weeks. In compressed courses, the need for meaningful yet straightforward research experiences are especially pressing. At Lynn University, the Scientific Literacy course meets daily for two and a half hours over four weeks. To provide authentic research within this time frame, I implemented animal behavior observation projects. Students are introduced to ad libitum and focal animal sampling, as well as continuous and scan recording methods. They also learn how to construct and apply ethograms to organize behavioral data. After two in-class labs to practice these skills, students design and carry out independent observation projects, presenting their findings as a part of their final project. Animal behavior research offers an ideal entry point for non-majors: it requires minimal equipment, is easy to implement across instructional formats, and connects to everyday experiences with animals. Integrating these assignments has helped clarify the process of scientific inquiry and provided students with confidence in applying research methods. This project demonstrates that focusing on the process of designing behavioral observations can be an effective approach to promoting scientific literacy among non-science students in compressed course structures
Navigating Divisive Times: Addressing Ruptures in Teaching, Supervision and Clinical Practice
No full textIn today’s increasingly polarized sociopolitical climate, counselor educators, supervisors, and trainees face new challenges navigating ruptures in clinical practice, teaching, and supervision. This session focuses on strategies for addressing and repairing ruptures in practice, teaching, and supervision through fostering inclusivity and supporting diverse perspectives in moments of conflict and tension. We will explore and critique pedagogical strategies for facilitating dialogue while maintaining a safe learning environment. Finally, we will incorporate a social justice model of supervision and ecological systems to address relational dynamics, power imbalances, systemic oppression, and advocacy in educational and supervisory settings
Reproducing Data Analysis of a Published Phytoplankton Bioassay Experiment to Learn Standard Error
No full textThe ability to use conversion factors, calculate error, and evaluate the quality of data quantitatively is essential for student success in science fields. Specifically, within biological oceanography, the use of Redfield Ratios to determine nutrient limitation is a base concept. In this Excel-based lesson students reproduce a figure and analysis from a published scientific article detailing a phytoplankton bioassay experiment. As part of the lesson students calculate and propagate error and use Redfield Ratios to determine nutrient limitation. Conflicting quantitative results force students to evaluate the limitations of the experiment and justify their conclusions. Reproducing the results of the published journal article is meant to increase students’ confidence in their ability to complete actual science. Cohesively, this lesson aids in students’ working with the concept of nutrient limitation in phytoplankton, by using the scientific practices of interpreting error and conversions
