FALCoN (with Claire Gordy and Melissa Ramirez). BUILDing Biology Education: Incorporating Inclusive 3D Models to Facilitate Constructivist Active Learning
Description
The proliferation of 3D printing technologies and university Makerspaces has led to widespread use of 3D models in the college classroom. Models of molecules, cells, or organisms improve upon 2D images by more accurately representing biological structures and providing an additional means of representation that is accessible to blind and visually impaired learners. However, simply sharing a 3D model fails to engage students in active learning. In this session, we will share a strategy for pairing 3D models with guided inquiry learning to allow students to construct their own understanding of biological structures, processes, and interactions.
