Lisa Borgerding, Ph.D.
Biography
I am currently a Professor in the School of Teaching, Leadership, and Curriculum Studies at 91²Ö¿â. I taught high school biology and K-8 informal science in Indiana before earning my doctorate in science education from Indiana University Bloomington. My research interests center upon the teaching and learning of evolution and the nature of science and how state biology standards support and constrain this teaching and learning. I regularly present and publish on these fascinating topics, and some of my work has appeared in Journal of Research in Science Teaching, Research in Science Education, and International Journal of Science Education. Here at 91²Ö¿â, I very much enjoy teaching science methods for pre-service undergraduate and MAT pre-service teachers as well as graduate courses in science education.
