Large enrollments in undergraduate courses pose several teaching and learning challenges that impact students' learning experience and performance. Implementing co-learning activities in tutorials of large courses can help mitigate these challenges and improve the learning environment. One type of collaborative learning activity that has become…

Direct linkHudson, Brian; Gericke, Niklas; Olin-Scheller, Christina; Stolare, Martin – Journal of Curriculum Studies, 2023
This paper outlines the development of a comparative research framework in subject didactics and applies this in the process of analysing the transformations from academic disciplines across different school subjects. The theoretical framework builds on the concepts of 'powerful knowledge' and 'transformation' and 'epistemic quality' within which…

Bartlett, Bjarne; Stitt-Bergh, Monica; Kantar, Michael; Bingham, Jon-Paul – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
An explosion of data available in the life sciences has shifted the discipline toward genomics and quantitative data science research. Institutions of higher learning have been addressing this shift by modifying undergraduate curriculums resulting in an increasing number of bioinformatics courses and research opportunities for undergraduates. The…

Alysa Malespina; Christian D. Schunn; Chandralekha Singh – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Students' motivational beliefs, such as disciplinary intelligence mindsets, can influence their physics performance and persistence. Intelligence mindset beliefs have long been argued to fall along of continuum between fixed and growth mindsets. Those with fixed physics mindsets believe that ability in physics is innate and unchangable, while…

Wakefield, Andy; Pike, Rebecca; Amici-Dargan, Sheila – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2023
Assessment and feedback are common sources of student dissatisfaction within higher education, and employers have shown dissatisfaction with graduates' communication skills. Authentic assessment, containing 'real-world' context and student collaboration, provides a means to address both issues simultaneously. We discuss how we used authentic…

Romeo, Peggy; Trevino, Marcela; Posey, Frederick; Romeo, Scott – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2021
This study is a comparison of ground-based versus online student performance using a combination of common final examination scores and associated demographic data in a biological science college course taught by a single instructor. Multivariate and standard statistical analyses are used to examine data from five semesters of ground and online…

Franklin, Daniel N.; Harrison, Brittany – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Quantitative abilities and techniques are vital in modern biological sciences from lab calculations and classical hypothesis testing to the growth of 'omics' and big data. Long before the employability at Higher Education can be considered, the transition between Secondary and Higher Education must be. Students doing biological sciences degrees at…

Ross, Pauline M.; Mercer-Mapstone, Lucy; Pozza, Liana E.; Poronnik, Philip; Hinton, Tina; Field, Damien J. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
While biomedical and life science research have embraced interdisciplinarity as the means to solving pressing 21st century complex challenges, interdisciplinarity in undergraduate education has been more difficult to implement. As a consequence, disciplinary rather than interdisciplinary capstones have become ubiquitous. Disciplinary capstones are…

Jessica Stephenson Reaves; Anna Arias – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
Equitable sensemaking allows for meaningful understanding of the big ideas of science and deeper engagement in science practices. Many nonscience majors, including elementary preservice teachers (PSTs), do not have opportunities to engage in equitable sensemaking within their secondary or college-level courses. An innovative cycle to support…

Kylie Rae Franse – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The quality of support provided to students in higher education can have a powerful impact on the student's experience, their perceptions of challenges, and their overall academic success, particularly retaining in and completing their degree. Though many universities create robust services to support undergraduate students, existing literature…

Karakas, Hamdi – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2022
The study aims to determine the effect of socioscientific issues-based activities on the attitudes of primary school teacher candidates' about life science teaching. In this research, 78 primary school teacher candidates (52 females, 26 male) determined by criterion sampling method participated. Attitude Scale of Life Science Teaching was used as…

Geller, Benjamin D.; Tipton, Maya; Daniel-Morales, Brandon; Tignor, Nikhil; White, Calvin; Crouch, Catherine H. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
A central goal of introductory physics for the life sciences (IPLS) is to prepare students to use physics to model and analyze biological situations, a skill of increasing importance for their future studies and careers. Here we report our findings on life science students' ability to carry out a sophisticated biological modeling task at the end…

Madamanchi, Aasakiran; Thomas, Madison; Magana, Alejandra; Heiland, Randy; Macklin, Paul – PRIMUS, 2022
There is growing awareness of the need for mathematics and computing to quantitatively understand the complex dynamics and feedbacks in the life sciences. Although several institutions and research groups are conducting pioneering multidisciplinary research, communication and education across fields remain a bottleneck. The opportunity is ripe for…

Stearns, Shep; McKee, Katherine E.; Dole, John M.; Bruce, Jackie – Journal of Ethnographic & Qualitative Research, 2022
In the present study, we analyzed the narratives embedded in the undergraduate personal statements of 40 nontraditional students--ages 25 years and older--accepted to an undergraduate degree program in agriculture and life sciences. Although widely available to universities, personal statements have been overlooked in the literature of…

Undergraduate research is one of the most valuable activities an undergraduate can engage in because of its benefits, and studies have shown that longer experiences are more beneficial. However, prior research has illuminated that undergraduates encounter challenges that may cause them to exit research prematurely. These studies have been almost…
