Extractions: Teaching awards ... Teaching interests As a teacher of undergraduates, I set three goals for my students: The three goals illustrated above should reinforce one another: knowledge of scientific principles requires knowledge of how those principles are applied and allows students to recognize and understand those principles in the world around them. A concept-based approach Being able to construct and evaluate logical arguments are valuable skills. These skills may be applied to "non-scientific" fields such as law, business, theology, history, and politics. Problem-solving and analysis in the sciences involves application of the scientific method. The sequence of observation, hypothesis statement, hypothesis-testing, analysis, and conclusion-making is a specific instance of the construction of a logical argument which is then either supported or refuted by facts, results, or theory. Teaching of the scientific method reinforces good organizational and communication skills (both written and oral). I have used several methods to teach and evaluate analytical skills in students at different eductaional levels. These methods include classroom excercises asking students to outline the procedures of the scientific method, identify parts and functions of publications from research journals, conduct hands-on laboratory or field experiments, and write or present short research papers.
