Trials and Tribulations of Converting Traditional Natural Science Lecture/Laboratory Courses into Integrated Experiences
Session Format
Presentation Session (45 minutes)
Location
Room 1905
Abstract for the conference program
Transitioning from a traditional separate classroom meeting followed with a stand-alone laboratory experience into an integrated classroom/hands-on experience course will be discussed for a variety of different Natural Science courses at different academic levels. Adapting the integrated model often applied in teaching of Anatomy and Physiology Courses, has been attempted in a number of other Natural Science Courses at Georgia Gwinnett College. Strategies for pedagogical teaching shifts, timing, hands-on activities, and content adaptation will be discussed along with personal experiences of techniques and ideas that worked, as well as those that didn’t go exactly as planned.
