Cross-Collaboration in Forensic Science Curriculum documents the best practice and experiences of a group of forensic science instructors developing complex multidisciplinary learning and teaching scenarios in higher education for forensic science. This title examines the design, development, implementation and evaluation of core scientific disciplines and includes an examination of methodologies for delivering learning and teaching for multiple evidence types using multidisciplinary teams in realistic environments that encompass specific aspects of problems and cover scenario-based learning theories. At present, no books on the market lay out best practices for those instructing in a cross-disciplinary manner within the forensic sciences.
The practical nature of the teaching techniques outlined in this guide will inform and enhance teaching across all of the forensic sciences.
- Provides best practices to those developing complex cross-disciplined learning and teaching scenarios in forensic science curriculum
- Includes a pedagogic structure designed to engage those from Crime Scene Investigation, Forensic Science, Forensic Biology and Digital Forensics
- Offers an examination of methodologies that leads to a blueprint for implementing cross-disciplinary teaching within forensic science
