Area of Science:

  • Biology Education
  • Faculty Development
  • STEM Education Reform

Background:

  • The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) established the ASM-NSF (National Science Foundation) Biology Scholars Program (BSP) to drive undergraduate education reform.
  • The BSP aims to support biologists in adopting evidence-based teaching practices and leadership in scholarly teaching.
  • It also seeks to foster a community for advancing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) reform within disciplines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the long-term outcomes and impacts of the ASM-NSF Biology Scholars Program (BSP).
  • To assess the program's effectiveness in achieving its goals related to scholarly teaching, professional society engagement, leadership, and faculty development.
  • To identify barriers to participation and gather insights for future program improvements and replication.

Main Methods:

  • An external evaluator conducted a study of BSP scholars (n=127) and society partners from 2010-2014.
  • Data collection involved online surveys, focus groups, participant observation, and document analysis.
  • Qualitative and quantitative data were analyzed to assess program impact and participant experiences.

Main Results:

  • Participants reported that the BSP successfully met its objectives concerning scholarly teaching, professional society impact, leadership development, community building, and faculty professional growth.
  • The program was identified as essential for participants' faculty development, despite some noted barriers.
  • Findings suggest the BSP is an effective model for other societies aiming to improve undergraduate science education.

Conclusions:

  • The ASM-NSF Biology Scholars Program (BSP) has demonstrated significant success in promoting undergraduate STEM education reform.
  • The program's collaborative approach involving multiple life science societies provides a robust framework for faculty development and educational change.
  • The BSP serves as a leading, long-standing model for inter-society collaboration in advancing discipline-based education research and practice.
