Teaching and learning evolution by Tim Hartelt
An understanding of evolution is fundamental to an understanding of biology. Despite this, many students have only a poor understanding of evolution or reject the theory of evolution. The large body of research on evolution education reveals gaps in understanding, different levels of acceptance, and instructional strategies to overcome these obstacles.
