            <title>Thinking Like a Biologist: Using Diagnostic Questions (DQCs) and Active Teaching to Help Students Reason With Biological Principles</title>
            <link>http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=422199</link>
            <description>This website presents materials and results from NSF supported work on Diagnostic Question Clusters to Improve Student Reasoning and Understanding in General Biology Courses.  The website provides access to the Diagnostic Question Clusters and active learning strategies associated with the questions plus the pedagogical and research context for these materials.We have targeted two challenges to the teaching of General Biology:1) Most students do not address biological questions with the principles? and reasoning used by biologists and2) Most faculty do not teach students how to use the principles and to think like practicing biologists. The project centers on a set of interrelated Diagnostic Question Clusters (DQCs) designed to &quot;hook&quot; biology faculty to question and learn about their students&apos; understanding of core biological concepts and ways of thinking about biology.The DQCs we focus on here concern tracing energy and matter through 3 levels biological complexity (atomic/molecular/cellular, organism and ecosystem). </description>
