- W20930167 abstract "In 1963, Tinbergen revolutionized the study of animal behaviour by revamping the conceptual framework of the discipline. His framework suggests an integration of four questions: causation, ontogeny, survival value, and evolution. The National Research Council Committee on Undergraduate Biology Education to Prepare Research Scientists for the 21st Century (2003) suggests alignment between current research and undergraduate education. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to determine if the conceptual framework used by animal behaviour scientists, as presented in current primary literature, aligns with what students are exposed to in undergraduate biology education. After determining the most commonly listed textbooks from randomly-selected animal behaviour syllabi, four of the most popular textbooks underwent content analysis in order to determine the extent that each of Tinbergen’s four questions is being applied in education. Mainstream animal behaviour journal articles from 2013 were also assessed via content analysis in order to evaluate the current research framework. It was discovered that over 80% of the text covered only two of Tinbergen’s questions (survival value and causation). The other two questions, evolution and ontogeny, were rarely described in the text. A similar trend was found in journal articles. Therefore, alignment is occurring between primary literature and education, but neither aligns with the established conceptual framework of the discipline. Teaching an integrated framework is recommended in order to increase the number of scientists in the next generation that study evolution and ontogeny of animal behaviour; however, other curricular resources, such as primary literature from less mainstream behaviour journals, will be necessary. Statement of Problem Biological undergraduate education should align with current research, e.g., conceptual frameworks (AAAS, 2010) NRCC (2003) states that alignment is not occurring; instead, we are teaching biology geared toward the past But, there are no studies on portrayal of fundamental topics, like cell theory, in curricular resources, even though there is research on specific topics, e.g., aging (Krupka et al. 1980) and Down syndrome (Bordson & Bennett, 1983).
