Studies the short-term & long-term benefits of moving biology students from lecture-based introductory courses to. learner-centered, inquiry-based courses that focus more on critical thinking & collaborative work. Found that inquiry-based course led to students receiving higher level profiles on the Views About Science Survey for biology as well as a higher score on the standardized Biology Field Test.
Kolber,Benedict J. (2011). Extended Problem-Based Learning Improves Scientific Communication in Senior Biology Students. Journal of College Science Teaching. 41(1), 32-39.Upper level undergraduate students were instructed through extended problem-based learning in order to improve critical thinking, presentation, and scientific-writing skill by focusing on a single biological problem. Encouraged students to learn about internet & library research of primary-scientific literature, reading literature strategies, presentation skills, and hypothesis development.

Encouraged students to learn about internet & library research of primary-scientific literature, reading literature strategies, presentation skills, and hypothesis development. This study compared a research-focused teaching method called community-based inquiry (CBI) with traditional lecture/laboratory in general education biology to discover which method would elicit greater gains in critical thinking.

Inquiry-based learning was used to enhance an undergraduate molecular biology course by using a long-term, in-class project to accelerate higher-order thinking, thereby enabling students to problem solve and apply their knowledge to novel situations
