Abstract
The General Biology-Measuring Achievement and Progression in Science (GenBio-MAPS) serves as a tool for monitoring and directing departmental progress by assessing student comprehension throughout the duration of undergraduate biology programs (Couch et al., 2019). According to the Vision and Change national report, a biology student should have a firm grasp of the concepts of (1) evolution, (2) structure and function, (3) information flow, exchange, and storage, (4) pathways and transformations of energy and matter, and (5) systems (Aguirre et al., 2013). In turn, the Biological Sciences department at Lindenwood University implemented ways to evaluate how well they are imparting the fundamental ideas of the Vision and Change report. Lindenwood undergraduate students were presented with the GenBio-MAPS survey (75 questions). Analysis of the data (n=940) from August 2018 to January 2023 is ongoing; preliminary results will be presented at the Lindenwood Student Academic Showcase 2023.
