Simple Model Systems and Research as a Context to Biology Curriculum
Azim Premji University, Bhopal invites undergraduate, postgraduate students and college teachers for a workshop on hands-on biology models systems and research
Azim Premji University, Bhopal, is organising a workshop on Simple Model Systems and Research as a Context to the Biology Curriculum. Facilitated by Collaboratively Understanding Biology Education (CUBE) Programme, this workshop is Open to all higher education students and teachers for a workshop on hands-on biology model systems and research. The workshop will introduce simple model systems in biology, experimentation, practice of scientific methods, and address research questions.
The projects and activities will also demonstrate to participants how hands-on research projects can serve as a context for curriculum and guide in teaching-learning. The workshop tries to bridge the gap between teaching and research and also between mainstream biology research and curricular engagement by bringing research culture, the practice of science and collaboration in college laboratories.
The attendees will learn about:
• Model systems-based research projects in laboratories.
• Developing research-oriented practices and culture.
• Provide context for teaching-learning biology curriculum.
• Developing collaborative engagement and STEM habits.
There is no participation fee for the workshop. However, we have limited seats available. For more information contact: 860086 – 9336 / chandrakant.ag@apu.edu.in
About the CUBE Programme:
CUBE is an initiative and an alternative paradigm in science education initiated to enhance the participatory base of science in India. It is a collaborative platform of students, teachers & researchers from across the country engaging in activities/experiments emerging from simple curiosities and developing them into frontier research. CUBE functions by networking: linking undergraduate colleges across the country & integrating them with schools and research centres with a focus on developing an open, sustainable, ongoing culture of doing science, sharing resources, seeking feedback, and learning by hands-on as well as virtual engagement.
