Extending and Investigating the Impact of the High School Model-based Educational Resource (Collaborative Research: Wilson)

This project examines the efficacy of the Model-Based Educational Resource (MBER) for high-school biology teachers and students. Previous work on MBER has found that the materials support teachers in providing opportunities for engaging student sensemaking and modeling, are feasible to implement in diverse classroom contexts, and show promise of efficacy in increasing student achievement. With this project we are generating causal evidence investigating how this approach to teaching and learning supports Next Generation Science learning.
