Jacqueline K. Bowman, Ph. D. Associate Professor of Biology Phone: (479)-968-0311 Fax: (479)-964-0837 jbowman@atu.edu My Philosophy of Education: I believe in the principles of constructivist education. By constructivist education I mean that all learners construct knowledge through their experiences. Rich experiences allow students to construct complex and accurate constructions. Science education needs to provide students with authentic hands-on experiences that include time for students to engage in collaborative reflection about their experiences.
