AB: Integrating GLOBE into preservice teacher education is one strategy for improving science literacy, scientific inquiry skills, and teacher understandingof the nature of science. Elementary teachers typically receive minimal science as part of their preparation. This preparation often includes 2-3 introductory science courses. Introductory courses are often taught in large lecture formats with separate labs. GLOBE can be a mechanism for designing a field-based science course that prepares students to conduct long-term scientific inquiry projects and provide the appropriate experiences that can be repliicated or transferred to the k-12 classroom. This also provides universities a mechanism to teach science that is aligned with the k-12 teaching, content, and assessment standards
