STUDENT RESEARCH: ACQUIRING KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE NATURE AND PROCESS OF SCIENCE
Journal Title: Journal of Baltic Science Education - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 6
Abstract
In April of 2017, I was working with the team of FEBS (Federation of European Biochemical Societies) Education Ambassadors from different European countries and Education Committee members in Université Paris Descartes. This was a significant event, involving FEBS Constituent Societies, to create a platform at the Europen level to brainstorm on educational issues across Europe. The discussions focused on what would be done in order to meet the mission and vision of FEBS on educational issues ̶ to promote education throughout Europe. Along with the other very important issues (curriculum, inventory of key skills, good practice, etc.) the working group on learning resources has elaborated short and long term objectives to formation of an appropriate learning database in the field of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology education. The participants discussed a lot about the importance of inquiry based approach which includes in particular the conduction, evaluation and presentation of Student Research.
