Basic Information 2015 Annual @Scale Report for The Life Sciences Education Program from Contact: Dr. Michelle Mischke, Director of Biotechnology Education Programs Massachusetts Biotechnology Education Foundation (MassBioEd) 300 Technology Square, Eighth Floor Cambridge, MA 02139 e: [email protected] p: 617-674-5153 f: 617-674-5101 Form 1: @Scale Narrative II. Goals & Objectives Experience suggests that science and math education determines our state’s and nation’s capacity to innovate. These academic disciples are at the core of our ability to develop critical new science, technology and medicines that benefit people worldwide. While there are many factors that influence students’ interest and attitudes towards science, hands-on activities have been shown to improve students’ science learning and achievement, as well as their attitudes towards science. Students that experience scientific content first-hand through inquiry-based activities demonstrate greater learning and curiosity about the topic. As noted in America's Lab Report: Investigations in High School Science (National Academy Press, 2005), educators recogniZe the importance of laboratory experiences, but most are unprepared to lead such activities. Implementing an authentic lab-based activity is a demanding task requiring teachers to have sophisticated knowledge of science content and process, an understanding of how students learn science, the ability to asses student learning, and the skill to design instruction to support the multiple goals of science education.
