Abstract
Was the project successful in assisting teachers to reform their biology teaching? The answer appears to be a qualified yes. Although teachers changed how they taught biology, they did not necessarily adopt the model as originally conceived by the project. Teachers used materials they developed in ways that increased student involvement in learning and decreased direct teacher instruction. Teachers taught primarily from the units they developed, and they borrowed instructional ideas and lessons from other units which fit their instructional style and curriculum. Teachers did not, however, adopt complete instructional units developed by other teachers for use in their classroom. © 1992, The Association for the Education of Teachers in Science (AETS).
