Williams; Zachary Conley; Hinton Antentor Jr. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Physiology is an important field for students to gain a better understanding of biological mechanisms. Yet, many students often find it difficult to learn from lectures, resulting in poor retention. Here, we utilize a learning workshop model to teach students at different levels ranging from middle school to undergraduate. We specifically designed…

Gabriela L. Schmitz; Luana E. Joras; Pablo A. Nogara; Maria Eduarda A Galiciolli; Bruna C. Piccoli; Fernanda Davila da Silva; Cláudia S. Oliveira; João B. T. Rocha – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Proteins are essential for cell function, and their biological performance depends on three-dimensional (3D) structures. Insulin is made up of 51 amino acids and is a critical hormone involved in glycaemia regulation. In basic education, concepts involving proteins (synthesis, structure, interactions, and function) are abstract and difficult for…

Mustafa Cansiz – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
Although integrating the history of science (HOS) into teaching has long been recommended in science education research, studies have revealed conflicting results on its effectiveness. These are mainly due to the need for more studies in this context. Therefore, this research aimed to explore the impact of HOS teaching on science process skills,…

Spencer; Estevão Scudese; Beverly Owens; Chia Vang; Derrick J. Morton; Zachary Conley; Antentor Hinton Jr. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
There remains a clear deficiency in recruiting middle school students in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine fields, especially for those students entering physiology from underrepresented backgrounds. A large part of this may be arising from a disconnect between how science is typically practiced at a collegiate and K-12…

Martin, Andrew J.; Kennett, Roger; Pearson, Joel; Mansour, Marianne; Papworth, Brad; Malmberg, Lars-Erik – Educational Psychology, 2021
While completing a science test and science survey, 155 high school students wore a biometric wristband (measuring electrodermal activity; EDA) and self-reported their science self-efficacy and science anxiety. Adopting a challenge-threat appraisal perspective and latent profile analysis, we explored how students were psychologically…

Listiani, Hanida; Subali, Bambang – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2021
Determining the level of difficulty and student development is important in the learning continuum, especially the anatomical and physiological aspects. This study aimed to collect teachers' opinions about the learning continuum of anatomical and physiological aspects based on its difficulty level. This survey research was conducted in the cities…

Roswati, Nelah; Rustaman, Nuryani Y.; Nugraha, Ikmanda – Journal of Science Learning, 2019
The science education approach has covered by using printed teaching media. One of the popular printed press that most accessible and may used in science education is a comic book. However, it is sometimes difficult to find the ideal and the appropriate comic books that can be used as the instructional tool of science education, because most of…

Trilipi, Desi; Subali, Bambang – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2020
One of the overlapping curriculum designs indicates the mismatch of teaching materials with the cognitive level process and student development, impacting the unstructured qualification of mastery of the material. On the other hand, the breadth and depth of teaching materials in the curriculum must be following students' mental development and…

Moeller, Kara; Friedman, Mark – Science Teacher, 2018
Evolution can be a difficult concept for students, even though it is an organizing principle in biology. It can also be a challenge for teachers to cover evolution properly (or at all) in the classroom, whether due to personal attitudes or lack of knowledge or confidence in the material (Rutledge and Mitchell 2002). Even in some states where…

Adams, Jason S.; Nelson, Heidi M.; Strong, Eric; Wisco, Jonathan J.; Klappa, Susan G. – HAPS Educator, 2020
This paper analyzes the lived experience of Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students participating in the service-learning program, Anatomy Academy. To understand this experience, we performed a phenomenological analysis using the reflections of 31 DPT students as they participated as Mentors to 5th grade elementary students. Mentors used active…

Singh, Garima; Khunyakari, Ritesh – Contemporary Education Dialogue, 2023
Learning about components and processes of complex biological systems is challenging and requires abstraction through mediational tools such as text, visuals, models and visualisation experiences. The 'systems concepts' necessitate building coherent relations and anticipating consequences, requiring greater mediational support. This article…
