An Examination of Problem-Based Teaching and Learning in Population Genetics and Evolution Using EVOLVE, a Computer Simulation.
Soderberg, Patti; Price, Frank
International Journal of Science Education, v25 n1 p35-55 Jan 2003
Examines a lesson in which students are engaged in inquiry in evolutionary biology to develop better understanding of concepts and reasoning skills necessary to support knowledge claims about changes in the genetic structure of populations known as microevolution. Explains how a software simulation, EVOLVE, can be used to foster discussions about conceptual knowledge used by advanced secondary or introductory college students. (Author/KHR)
