BioCore Guide: A Tool for Interpreting the Core Concepts of Vision and Change for Biology Majors

This work was funded in part by the University of Washington College of Arts and Sciences, the University of Washington Department of Biology, and NSF DUE 1323010 collaborative research grant: University of Washington: P.I. A.J.C., S.F.; Arizona State University: Co-P.I. S.E.B.; University of Maine: P.I. M. Smith; University of Colorado–Boulder: PI J. Knight, Co-P.I. B. Couch. We thank the UW faculty who participated in this effort, particularly Toby Bradshaw and Kevin Mihata for leadership. We also thank members of the Biology Education Research Group, in particular Mercedes Converse for her help. Finally we thank the 50-plus people who provided specific feedback on the BioCore Guide (see the Supplemental Material for full list of names) and the 184 respondents who anonymously completed the national validation of the BioCore Guide, greatly strengthening the quality of this work.
