    • BackgroundPrevious research has identified numerous factors to explain why students have difficulty learning about evolution. [...] Key Result Likewise, knowledge and perceived relevance of evolution increased in sections with a role model instructor and with evidence-based evolution instruction. Otherwise, tested factors (the type of evolution instruction, inclusion of NOS, biology-major/nonmajor, GPA, or religiosity) were not shown to be associated with these three constructs.Expand Abstract
