HOW AN AUTHENTIC SCIENCE COURSE BECAME DIGITAL AND ONLINE DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Abstract
This paper describes the conditions for teaching students and teacher-residents in the autumn of 2020 when professors in many countries needed to implement remote teaching. Also, the teaching and cultural institutions were closed and only functioning online. The context is a science and culture museum in NYC with a graduate college (Richard Gilder Graduate School). The program offers a Master Level Residency Program for secondary science teachers. All courses are co-taught by teams of a teacher educator and a museum scientist. In this case, the teaching team (authors) included a teacher educator specialized in curriculum design and pedagogy for informal and multilingual settings; the scientist is an evolutionary biologist specializing in Ichthyology at the museum.
