2. Transforming Biology Curriculum at Navajo Community College to Include Navajo and Western Cultural Knowledge.

Author

Garrison, Edward R.

Abstract

Describes how a college teacher used Navajo traditional knowledge to rethink the teaching of college biology. Suggests that teachers intimidated by the intricate Dine Philosophy of Education may integrate Navajo knowledge into their courses through focused research guided by Navajo consultants. Includes five examples of redesigned curricula for teaching about taxonomy, evolution, origins of life, and other topics. (Author/SV)

29. Development and pilot evaluation of a cancer-focused summer research education program for [corrected] Navajo undergraduate students.

Author

Garrison, Edward R., Bauer, Mark C., Hosley, Brenda L., Patten, Christi A., Hughes, Christine A., Trapp, Mary A., Petersen, Wesley O., Austin-Garrison, Martha A., Bowman, Clarissa N., and Vierkant, Robert A.

Abstract

This paper describes the development and pilot testing of a 10-week cancer research education program for Navajo undergraduate students. The program was piloted at Diné College with 22 undergraduates (7 men, 15 women) in 2007 and 2008. Students completed a pre-post program survey assessing attitudes, opinions, and knowledge about research and about cancer. The program was found to be culturally acceptable and resulted in statistically significant changes in some of the attitudes and opinions about research and cancer. Combining all 13 knowledge items, there was a significant (p = 0.002) change in the mean total correct percent from baseline [70.3 (SD = 15.9)] to post-program [82.1 (SD = 13.1)]. The curriculum was adapted for a new cancer prevention and control course now offered at Diné College, enhancing sustainability. Ultimately, these efforts may serve to build capacity in communities by developing a cadre of future Native American scientists to develop and implement cancer research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
