Description

In conjunction with a new interdisciplinary, experiential science course for non-science majors, we have developed the Augustana Interdisciplinary Scientific Literacy Evaluation (AISLE) to measure gains in scientific skills and attitudes. This presentation will outline the context of AISLE, its development criteria, calibration data, and upcoming analyses.
