I received a second place award among all University of Calgary independent study Ecology students for my honours thesis presentation titled “Math and Biology: Promoting Quantitative Skills in Undergraduate Biology Students”. My presentation was based on the research I conducted throughout the year on students’ quantitative skills and how they can relate those skills to biological concepts. For my research, I used triangulation of data from statistical pre-instruction/post-instruction testing, students’ self-assessed non-cognitive traits, and a focus group which I conducted, to reach a conclusion about the pedagogy of incorporating mathematics in biology. This award shows my understanding of pedagogical research, statistical analysis, and my presentation skills.
Beyond the ClassroomThe purpose of this page is to demonstrate my growth as a professional as well as to document my accomplishments in my personal endeavours that I believe enhance who I am and what I believe as a teacher. KSA connections
