The purpose of this fund is to develop pedagogy tools and curriculum development. Up to two Faculty of Science students will receive this award on an annual basis to assist Faculty of Science members in developing any aspect of science pedagogy and curriculum development, including but not limited to:
- new laboratory and lecture content,
- teaching media, including digital media and textbooks,
- student performance evaluation tools,
- self-learning and self-testing tools for students,
- websites and tools for student communication,
- tools such as software that advances student learning in the Faculty of Science and
- curriculum development for incorporating the ‘two-eyed’ seeing approach in Science (incorporating both Indigenous ways of knowing and Western knowledge) in support of our Wawatay program and Indigenous Initiative in Science.
The funds are meant to encourage curriculum development and assist supervisors (faculty members), but also should help enhance and broaden student interest in science education and develop their skills in this endeavour.
