Item Classroom use of narrative and documentary film leads to an enhanced understanding of culture and diversity in science(Association of College and Biology Educators, 2016) Gonzalez, Edward L. F.; Lewis, C. T.; Slayback-Barry, D.; Yost, Robert W.For a first-year seminar, Windows on Science, the authors developed a cooperative learning activity around film designed to meet two of the campus-wide Principles of Undergraduate Learning. The teaching method utilizes the power of storytelling by screening narrative and documentary films. In the process, the methodology helps students to realize the contributions of many cultures, specifically African Americans, to our knowledge of science and the advancement of scientific methodology. Additionally, students are exposed to issues that focus on ethical conduct in the sciences and that provide an opportunity to discuss the leadership role that women have played in advancing science and technology.
