Without further analysis, it cannot be generalized that Investigations is a "quantitative literacy curriculum," but it is possible that Investigations could serve as a model that could be further studied to understand the components of a curriculum that could potentially promote quantitative literacy.
The quantitative biology curriculum lacked sufficient biology credits to be considered a Biology degree.
To achieve the interdisciplinary, quantitative undergraduate biology curriculum recommended in BIO2010, significant changes on behalf of both faculty and students would be required.
The pattern of student enrollment, combined with faculty experiences of teaching biology students, led to the consensus that a new, more quantitative and interdisciplinary curriculum was needed.
Analysis of the experimental results: According to the score of experimental results to summarize the quantitative data of lab curriculum.
I want to suggest that persons such as those leading our workshop have particular responsibility for modeling best practices, even if their personal passion is service learning or first-year seminars or quantitative skills across the curriculum or research-rich experiences.
This is particularly sad when we are seeing increasing public interest in data literacy and serious attempts to introduce more statistics and quantitative study into the undergraduate curriculum via schemes such as Q-step.
In this study, the potential influence of the Investigations in Number, Data, and Space curriculum on student quantitative literacy is investigated.
Despite the aspiration inherent in the title BIO2010, we still have much work to do to create the type of curriculum in the quantitative sciences that suits the demands of the next generation of life science researchers.
According to the NRC's 2012 report on DBER, a specific challenge for BER scholars is to "identify instructional approaches that can help overcome the math phobia of many biology students and introduce more quantitative skills into the introductory curriculum, as computational biology and other mathematical approaches become more central to the field of biology" (NRC, 2003).
