This study examined the educational impact of an inquiry-focused textbook, Integrating Concepts in Biology (ICB). Our findings support those of another study that found that performance of an ICB cohort also surpassed that of peers and suggest that the ICB textbook enables learning gains beyond those found using traditional content-focused textbooks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
