V. Program Assessment and Dissemination
Assessment is a critical aspect of the Undergraduate Education Science Program. First, we will measure how our summer fellowship programs influence the pursuit of graduate education in science programs, and contribute to student socialization in science disciplines. Second, we will assess the effect of active learning on student comprehension and retention of material. Third, we will examine the value of specific instructional strategies by assessing the summer high school and community college faculty workshops.
Dissemination will occur through 1) Publishing papers, 2) Introducing new, future and current faculty to active learning, and 3) Presentations at national conferences.
