Intelligent Transformation in Biology and Science Education

Intelligent Transformation in Biology and Science Education examines the profound pedagogical, technological, and institutional changes reshaping biology and science education in higher education globally, with particular focus on Saudi Arabian universities navigating Vision 2030 reform imperatives. The book synthesizes evidence to argue that transformation is not optional but necessary, achievable, and most effective when grounded in pedagogical principle rather than technological determinism. The book traces the evolution from passive, lecture-centered biology instruction to active, inquiry-based, research-integrated, and AI-supported learning environments. It examines STEM and STEAM integration, artificial intelligence applications including intelligent tutoring and learning analytics, virtual and smart laboratory infrastructure, bioinformatics education, and university-industry partnerships. Drawing on global models from the United States, Europe, and East Asia, the book develops a context-sensitive roadmap for Saudi higher education that honors both international best practice and the Kingdom's cultural, institutional, and national development priorities.
