Thesis (M.S.)--Arizona State University, 2016.

Calls for changes in science education over the last several decades have contributed to a changing landscape of undergraduate life science education. As opposed to simply lecturing at students and expecting them to recite science facts, there has been a strong push to make systemic changes so that students not only know pertinent science content, but also walk away with critical science process skills. There have been suggestions to create environments that focus on goals such as evaluating scientific evidence and explanations, understanding the development of scientific knowledge, and participating in scientific practice and discourse. As a part of the call for increases in student participation in science practice, we've seen suggestions to increase student exposure to the tools, techniques, and published research within various science fields. The use of primary scientific literature in the classroom is documented as being a tool to introduce students to the nature of scientific reasoning, experimental design, and knowledge creation and transformation. Many of the current studies on primary scientific literature in undergraduate courses report on intensive course designs in which students interact with the material with very specific goals, as outlined by the authors and researchers. We know less about the practices that take place in typical undergraduate settings. This exploratory study looks at information provided by a national sample of faculty that alludes to what sort of practices are taking place and the reasoning for doing so. Through analysis of both closed-ended and open-ended survey questions we have found that faculty are engaging students with primary scientific literature for many reasons and in a variety of ways. We have also attempted to characterize the way in which faculty view the body of scientific literature, as members of the research community. We discuss the implications of faculty views on the utility and value of the body of scientific literature. We also argue that those perceptions inform how the material is used in the undergraduate classroom.
