Biology Education in an Evolving Landscape
The 2020 Life Discovery – Doing Science Biology Education conference zooms in on the twin modalities of crisis and innovation, brought about by the coronavirus pandemic and a new four-dimensional framework calling for a fresh approach to organismal biology education.
As COVID19 soars to more than 5 million cases in the US, unleashing unprecedented havoc on communities, the sudden school closures and emergency switch to?online learning in March appear to be here to stay for yet another semester.?On the one hand, our ability to?adapt to an evolving educational experience is critical to success. On the other, the Four-Dimensional Ecology Education Framework (4DEE) endorsed by the Ecological Society of America presents a perfect occasion to innovate by integrating Core Ecological Concepts, Human-Environment Interactions, Ecology Practices, and Cross Cutting Themes in teaching.
