The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) engage students in the epistemic, or knowledge building, components of science through three-dimensional learning. Each scientific domain has its own epistemic aspects that result from different social groups going about science in different ways to conceptualize different bodies of knowledge; education…

Candace Joswick; Melissa Hulings – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
The BSCS 5E Instructional Model, an elaboration of the well-known and accepted three-part learning cycle, is a five-part approach to incorporating inquiry-based, active learning in the classroom. Developed in 1987 by the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study, "the 5Es" is a popular K-20 instructional practice, and as such, the Biological…

Umesh Ramnarain – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
Curriculum reform worldwide has often reflected changing perspectives on the teaching and learning of science. Such perspectives underline the notion that not only the teaching of science content knowledge is relevant but also the aims and methods scientists use to further their knowledge and the social context in which science is applied. We call…

Mei Grace Behrendt; Carrie Clark; McKenna Elliott; Joseph Dauer – npj Science of Learning, 2024
Metacognitive calibration--the capacity to accurately self-assess one's performance--forms the basis for error detection and self-monitoring and is a potential catalyst for conceptual change. Limited brain imaging research on authentic learning tasks implicates the lateral prefrontal and anterior cingulate brain regions in expert scientific…

Manfred Pienemann; Anke Lenzing; Howard Nicholas – Second Language Research, 2024
In this article we address two key questions in the application of dynamical systems theory (DST) to second language acquisition (SLA) that have not been resolved in recent debates about this issue. The first question relates to reductionism. Is an antireductionist position a necessary element of DST? We show that the radical antireductionist…

In undergraduate life sciences education, open educational resources (OERs) increase accessibility and retention for students, reduce costs, and save instructors time and effort. Despite increasing awareness and utilization of these resources, OERs are not centrally located, and many undergraduate instructors describe challenges in locating…

Gabriella Fluhler-Thornburg; John McKillip – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
Laboratory learning in the life sciences is historically centered around following recipe-like instructions to complete activities with defined outcomes. The American Association for the Advancement of Science's "Vision and Change" report has called for a change in science teaching. The report emphasizes the importance of providing…

Noel Gough – Gender and Education, 2024
This essay offers a rationale for deploying ecofeminist science fiction stories as object-oriented thought experiments in science and environmental education, with particular reference to developments in genetics and evolutionary biology, and their implications for human (and more-than-human) reproduction and kinship in the period following the…

Heleen van Ravenswaaij; Sanne ter Meulen-de Jong; Renske A. M. de Kleijn; Gonul Dilaver; Marieke F. van der Schaaf; Harold V. M. van Rijen – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
The importance of generic skills for life scientists is commonly recognised by employers, graduates, and higher education institutes. As it remains unclear which generic skills are relevant for different life sciences career paths, this study aims to give an overview to inform and inspire universities and students, by analysing 179 Dutch…

Brian Shambare; Thuthukile Jita – Smart Learning Environments, 2025
Teaching in rural schools is frequently marked by challenges ranging from restricted technological infrastructure and geographical remoteness to sparse professional development. Guided by the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), this paper reports findings from a sequential explanatory mixed-methods study that investigated…

Dries – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
We present as a case study the evolution of a series of participant-centered workshops designed to meet a need in the life sciences education community--the incorporation of best practices in the assessment of student learning. Initially, the ICABL (Inclusive Community for the Assessment of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology/BMB Learning) project…

Lu Cao; Polly K. Lai; Hongzhi Yang – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2024
This study explored the use of an innovative instructional approach called Productive Failure (PF) to design an educational game and its support. The study then examined the effects of two different types of instruction--PF vs. Direct Instruction (DI)--on learning genetics and relevant mathematical knowledge in a Game-Based Learning (GBL)…

Purpose: While known by many names, qualifying exams function as gatekeepers to graduate student advancement to PhD candidacy, yet there has been little formal study on best qualifying exam practices particularly in biomedical and related STEM PhD programs. The purpose of this study is to examine the current state of qualifying exams through an…

Shane Terrell Jinson Jr. – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Understanding the details of how scientific breakthroughs and discoveries emerge from prior work, knowledge, and collaboration is fundamental to science history. Traditional methods of collecting such relevant information and transforming it into rich narratives have existed since the inception of the scientific method. These typically involve…

Ian Biazzo; Kenneth M. Fedorka; Kimberly R. Schneider; Ken Teter – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
Many initiatives attempt to smooth transitions between 2-year colleges and 4-year universities, but retention and graduation rates for transfer-students are still low, especially in STEM. The Transfer-student Research and Integration Program (TRIP) at the University of Central Florida was developed to meet the needs of a diverse transfer…
