Considerable anecdotal evidence indicates that some of the most difficult concepts that both high school and undergraduate elementary-education students struggle with are those surrounding evolutionary principles, especially speciation. It’s no wonder that entry-level biology students are confused, when biologists have multiple definitions of “species.” We developed this speciation activity to provide clarity and allow students a hands-on experience with a speciation model.

<p class="zhengwen"><span lang="EN-GB">This research aimed to examine<strong> </strong>the contribution of critical thinking skills and metacognitive awareness on biology learning in class XI at a government senior high school in Makassar. The research was a correlational <em>ex post facto</em> study, and the population studied consisted of students attending the selected government Senior High Schools in Makassar for the 2013/2014 academic year. Samples were chosen according to random sampling<em> </em>clusters<em>. </em>The Data was analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics. Research results showed that (1) Both critical thinking skills and metacognitive awareness contributed positively to biology students’ learning outcomes in class XI, (2) Critical thinking skills contributed positively to biology students’ learning in class XI at senior high school, (3) Metacognitive awareness contributed positively on biology students’ learning outcomes.</span></p>

Questions And Answers

To teach the most central concepts in evolutionary biology, we present an activity in pollination biology. Students play the role of either pollinator or flower and work through a set of scenarios to maximize plant fitness. This “Pollination Game” facilitates critical and inquiry-based thinking, and we accompany each round of the exercise with a set of discussion questions and answers. We have piloted and fine tuned this exercise with high school students, and improved the exercise with the input of high school teachers at a teaching conference. The activity could easily be adapted for freshman undergraduate students.
