Evolution And Quality Teaching

A strong understanding of the nature of science has been shown to be positively correlated to biology teachers emphasis on teaching. Past research has focused on determining which teachers are teaching evolution, factors contributing to the likelihood a teacher will teach evolution, the nature of teachers` evolution practice, as well as obstacles to teaching evolution. By better understanding of secondary teachers` professional development needs and addressing those needs, the quality of evolution education can be improved.

Evolution teaching takes place within a community and state context, with state standards and community values differing across the country. practice for teaching evolution includes number of hours evolution is taught, approach to teaching evolution, and topics most likely to be taught.

There is a great range in perception to rate the adequacy of their teacher preparation in regard to teaching evolution. The logic here is that the quality of teaching is a function of the quality of the teacher- typically understood as academic credentials, sometimes with dispositions and personality traits also considered.

It is not always easy to change a student`s life, which is why it takes a great teacher to do so. Some just need an extra push like the student whose math grade is just a few points shy from the A others may be going through something troubling in their personal lives and need someone to talk to. All three aspects, education, inspiration, guidance are directly affected.
