Inquiry-based undergraduate teaching in ... on the Boyer Commission Report
Inquiry-based undergraduate teaching in the life sciences at large research universities: a perspective on the Boyer Commission Report.
45
<p>The 1998 Boyer Commission Report advocated improvement of undergraduate education at large research universities through large-scale participation of undergraduates in the universities' research mission. At a recent conference sponsored by the Reinvention Center, which is dedicated to furthering the goals of the Boyer Commission, participants discussed progress toward these goals and recommendations for future action. A breakout group representing the life sciences concluded that independent research experience for every undergraduate may not be feasible or desirable but that transformation of lecture courses to more inquiry-based and interactive formats can effectively further the Commission's goals.</p>
