- Title
TEACHING BEGINNING ZOOLOGY WITHOUT DISSECTION.
- Authors
Taylor, Aravilla Meek
- Abstract
The article presents information on a study related to zoology. The zoology is preceded by a semester of botany. The freshman course in zoology at Lake Erie College has been organized with the interests of the general student in mind, rather than the specific requirements of those students who have decided to specialize in science. The study determines that there is a very real and desirable feeling of satisfaction which comes to a student who completes a creditable original drawing, which is entirely absent when a ready-made drawing is labeled. The researchers findings suggest that there are many benefits to be derived from the time spent in the laboratory if the time is properly employed. Books are placed in the laboratory for reference in an effort to excrete dependence upon one authority. In the study, the researchers purpose has not been to increase the number of biology majors, but to increase the number of students who receive at least a glimpse of the attractions offered by the study of animals.
