Aligning Plant Identification Curricula to Disciplinary Standards Through the Framework of Student-Centered Learning

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Many students within plant identification courses are disengaged owing to the heavy emphasis on rote memorization. We propose a shift of learning objectives in plant identification curricula from content knowledge to emphasize broader scientific competencies and applications, within the framework of interactive student-centered learning. Outlined in this chapter are sample activities and learning objectives aligned with disciplinary standards and methods to promote student interest and success. We present examples of student-centered activities such as student-led field presentation of plants, applying the process of science, and service-learning projects. We also present some platforms for introduction and review including interactive problem-solving and games, interdisciplinary and sensory connections, and online tools. These approaches can increase student responsibility, improve accessibility to information, facilitate long-term memorization, and diversify modes of instruction and assessment.
