Achieving the most effective, evidence-based science education (effective science education, backed by evidence). The Carl Wieman Science Education Initiative is a five-year, $12M project at The University of British Columbia aimed at dramatically improving undergraduate science education.
The CWSEI helps departments take a four-step, scientific approach to teaching:
- Establish what students should learn
- Scientifically measure what students are actually learning
- Adapt instructional methods and curriculum and incorporate effective use of technology and pedagogical research to achieve desired learning outcomes
- Disseminate and adopt what works
Includes a range of resources on Instructor Guidance, Student Guidance, Learning Goals, etc
