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…

Two-year community college (CC) students face many barriers for recruitment and retention into Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) fields and vertical transfer to 4-year universities (4YUs). Experiential learning, mentoring, and cohort building are effective mechanisms for increasing STEM recruitment and retention, and close…

Fisher, Matthew R.; Cole, Deborah; Oh, Youngha; Vemu, Sheela – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2020
Metacognition and self-regulated learning are skills that contribute to student success, but few studies have examined these topics within a community college context. We addressed this lack of understanding by asking community college biology students to metacognitively reflect on their learning strategies. We took a novel approach in our…

Chavan, Rajendra L.; Patankar, Pratibha S.; Mali, Nagina S. – Online Submission, 2016
School is the place where the formal education is implemented through well defined curriculum. Curriculum enlists subjects to be taught, practicals to be conducted, as well as co-curriculum & extra-curricular activities. Biology is one of the important subjects in the curriculum in junior college level. Biology subject is a study of living…

Cotter, Robin; Kiser, Stacey; Rasmussen, Jed; Vemu, Sheela – New Directions for Community Colleges, 2022
Biology education research (BER), currently conducted mostly at four-year colleges and universities, is changing the culture of teaching biology and improving student success. We are community college faculty participating in the NSF-funded CC Bio INSITES network, getting training and support in BER to ask questions to improve student success in…

Contribution: A roadmap is provided for building a quantum engineering education program to satisfy U.S. national and international workforce needs. Background: The rapidly growing quantum information science and engineering (QISE) industry will require both quantum-aware and quantum-proficient engineers at the bachelor's level. Research Question:…

Barnes, M. Elizabeth; Brownell, Sara E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2016
Evolution is a core concept of biology, and yet many college biology students do not accept evolution because of their religious beliefs. However, we do not currently know how instructors perceive their role in helping students accept evolution or how they address the perceived conflict between religion and evolution when they teach evolution.…

Rodriguez, Sarah L.; Cunningham, Kelly; Jordan, Alec – Community College Journal of Research and Practice, 2017
This article explores the application of science identity development theory for women of color interested in the science disciplines; and it advocates for taking an intersectional approach to understanding how women of color form science identities. The article also challenges community college administrators and scholars to focus on redefining…

Taibu, Rex; Mataka, Lloyd; Shekoyan, Vazgen – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2021
In this study, conceptual and algebra-based physics students were engaged in scientific inquiry using Physics Education Technology (PhET) interactive simulations via semester-long group projects. The instructor and students used the Scientific Abilities Assessment Rubrics (SAAR) to evaluate project presentations and papers (formative assessment).…

Rodriguez, Marisela; Mundy, Marie-Anne; Kupczynski, Lori; Challoo, Linda – Research in Higher Education Journal, 2018
This study explored whether gender and active learning and student-centered pedagogies such as project-based and peer-led in introductory science "gatekeeper" major courses; BIOL 1306 and CHEM 1311 had an impact on student success rates, student perceptions, and student persistence in STEM fields at a community college in South Texas…

Stange, Melissa – Inquiry, 2020
This paper will discuss why technical skills alone will not be enough for students to have successful careers in the digital age. Much of their success will hinge on critical soft skills, such as adaptability, inner strength, holistic thinking, and a collaborative spirit. Examples will be provided for inclusion with a computer science program, but…

Bridget T. Kelly; Robyn Mieko Dahl; William T. Phelps; Mary L. Droser – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2024
An opportunity exists to attract students from historically underrepresented communities into the geosciences, the least diverse of the STEM fields. Home to a diverse population, Riverside County in Southern California supports several community colleges with thriving geoscience programs where students can take a range of geology courses in…

Maness, Jennifer Scoggins – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Face-to-face, online, and hybrid/blended course delivery methods have become the main methods of instruction in community colleges. This study examined the effects of different course delivery methods (e.g., face-to-face, hybrid, and online) on students' final course grades and course withdrawals in an introductory Biology course. The effects of…
