tailieunhanh - BIO2010: Transforming Undergraduate Education for Future Research Biologists

This report continues the National Academies’ efforts in the reform of education by calling on researchers to recognize the importance of teaching and to join together with educators to promote undergraduate learning. The goal in this case is to prepare the next generation of biological researchers for the tremendous opportunities ahead. Attaining this goal will require that faculty spend more time discussing their teaching with their colleagues, both within and outside of their own field or department. The enthusiastic participation of the Bio2010 committee members in this study demonstrates how deeply our leading researchers value education. It also proves that chemists, physicists, mathematicians, and biologists can learn from each other,. | BIO Transforming Undergraduate Education FOR Future Research Biologists NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL Of THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES BI02010 Transforming Undergraduate Education FOR Future Research Biologists Committee on Undergraduate Biology Education to Prepare Research Scientists for the 21st Century Board on Life Sciences Division on Earth and Life Studies NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS Washington .
