Tim Archie; Sarah B. Wise; Javier Robalino; Marjee Chmiel; Sandra Laursen – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2024
Evidence-based instructional practices (EBIPs) have been shown to benefit students in undergraduate biology, but little is known about the degree to which community college (CC) biology instructors use EBIPs or the barriers they encounter. We surveyed CC biology instructors to characterize how they use EBIPs, their capacity to use EBIPs, and…

Hao A. Nguyen; Emily Miura-Stempel; Christine M. Morrison; Grant J. Dixon; Micaela K. Homer; Florence Y. Dou; Alyssia Snow; Matthew R. Golder; Brandi M. Cossairt – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Chemistry students at community colleges often experience a lack of hands-on research opportunities, which can be a significant disadvantage when they transition to four-year universities. To address this, the Summer Chemistry Research Opportunities for Community College Students (SCROCCS) was established in 2022 by graduate students at the…

DeChenne-Peters, S. E.; Scheuermann, N. L. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) integrate an authentic research experience for students into a laboratory course. CUREs provide many of the same benefits to students as individual faculty-mentored research experiences. However, faculty experiences in teaching CUREs are not as well understood. There are no studies that…
