Science education, biology education research, SEPAL. Since joining the SFSU faculty, Dr. Tanner has established SEPAL to improve and articulate science education. SEPAL researchers are interested in the role of partnerships between scientists and teachers in influencing K-12 science education. Also, SEPAL researchers are interested in understanding how novices - including young children, non-science majors, and elementary school teachers - think about biological concepts and living things.
