| dc.description.abstract | A needs assessment study, which sought the views of teachers, students, and practising biotechnologists in research centres and industries in Trinidad, was conducted, and the results of this used to design student workbooks on selected biotechnology topics. The workbooks were tried in three schools, and a process of the evaluation of the innovation was conducted using qualitative research methodologies. The data sources were classroom observations of the innovation in use, in which the researcher functioned as a participant observer, and in-depth interviews of teachers and students. The findings of the study suggest that the biotechnology workbooks facilitated positive learning outcomes, through interaction with participants. All participants had positive views of the effects of the strategies embodied in the workbooks | |
