Christine Alfano; Emily Polk; Jennifer Stonaker – Across the Disciplines, 2023
The Notation in Science Communication (NSC) provides students an opportunity to develop their abilities to effectively communicate technical information to varied audiences using multiple genres and modes. A total of 115 students have earned the NSC as of May 2023. Currently there are just over 100 students in the program, with between 40-50 new…

Justin Shaffer; Arik Ringsby – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
High structure courses ask students to be active participants in the learning process with preclass content acquisition and assessment, in-class active-learning exercises, and after-class review assignments. Although faculty may suggest certain strategies for success in high structure courses, it is unknown what students find valuable and what…

Vater, Ashley; Mayoral, Jaime; Nunez-Castilla, Janelle; Labonte, Jason W.; Briggs, Laura A.; Gray, Jeffrey J.; Makarevitch, Irina; Rumjahn, Sharif M.; Siegel, Justin B. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Including undergraduate research in STEM education is a well-supported and growing high-impact practice that has been made much more scalable through integrating these experiences into the classroom. Here we describe a new biochemistry Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) that follows a design-to-data workflow with a strong…

Juarez, Damaris; Blackwood, Elizabeth – portal: Libraries and the Academy, 2022
In spring 2020, the California State University System and its 23 campuses became the first in the United States to commit to a year of remote instruction due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Remote instruction separated the system's librarians from their users, whose needs were especially great within the system's ethnically, economically, and…

Cardenas, Alejandra G. – Natural Sciences Education, 2023
As our population continues to grow, the demand of a more efficient agriculture system heightens. We work to produce the highest yield possible to cover demands. Are we compromising our water quality for mass food production? In past years, the West Coast growers had been facing increasing struggles to farm with their allotted water often turning…

Nika Hogan; Emily Daniell Magruder; Silvana McCormick – Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, 2023
This article presents a community of practice (CoP) designed to help California State University and California Community College STEM faculty implement active, equity-centered pedagogical changes. Using the Reading Apprenticeship framework as a foundation, the CoP focuses on text-based metacognitive conversations to facilitate students' authentic…

Jaciw, Andrew P.; Nguyen, Thanh; Lin, Li; Zacamy, Jenna L.; Kwong, Connie; Lau, Sze-Shun – Grantee Submission, 2020
Science education has experienced a significant transition over the last decade, catalyzed by a re-envisioning of what students should know and be able to do in science. That re-envisioning culminated in the release of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in 2013. The new standards set off a chain reaction of standards adoption and…

Lucas Education Research, George Lucas Educational Foundation, 2021
This research brief highlights the findings of a study looking at the impact of a project-based approach to science instruction in middle school. Stanford University experts and middle school teachers developed the project-based program, Learning Through Performance (LTP). Researchers found that the approach boosted student achievement in science…

Nilsen, Katy; Iveland, Ashley; Britton, Ted; Tyler, Burr; Arnett, Elizabeth – WestEd, 2019
This report describes how effective environmental literacy can be for catalyzing Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) teaching, and how the California K-8 NGSS Early Implementers Initiative has provided professional learning about environmental literacy to prompt and support this synergy. The report also outlines how the California Science…

Chloe D. Bowen; Alexa R. Summersill; Angela N. Google; Madeline G. Aadnes; M. Elizabeth Barnes – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Effective communication about science is a core skill undergraduates should learn, but little research has explored how students communicate about culturally controversial science topics. In this study, we explored how Black undergraduate science students took on the role of science communicators in their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.…

Newton, Mark H.; Zeidler, Dana L. – International Journal of Science Education, 2020
Perspective taking has been identified as a critical skill in the development of scientifically literate citizenry. Despite the importance of the construct, operationalising and identifying effective pedagogical strategies to promote effective perspective taking have proven challenging. This study provides empirical evidence to support the…

Bush, Seth D.; Stevens, Michael T.; Tanner, Kimberly D.; Williams, Kathy S. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
The phenomenon of embedding Science Faculty with Education Specialties (SFES) in science departments is well documented. However, the perspectives of academic leaders have not been systematically studied. To investigate these perspectives, we conducted an interview study of college of science deans in the California State University system, which…

Descamps, Ian; Moore, Thomas; Pollard, Benjamin – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2020
We present an investigation into the interdisciplinary role of physics in a physics-for-nonphysicists course at Pomona College. This work is guided by prior research into introductory physics for life science (IPLS) courses, but attends to significant differences in the scope and context of this course. We interviewed enrolled students, physics…

Angelica R. Cash; Julia R. Penick; Celia F. Todd; Monica C. So – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Summative lab assessments probe student mastery over concepts, but conventional ones often result in decreased student engagement and confidence. If conventional summative lab assessments are replaced by accessible gamified evaluations, such as online escape rooms, this leads to improved student engagement and confidence. In this work, we adapted…

The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized the importance of designing effective methods for remote teaching. At the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of California, Santa Cruz, instructors adapted to the necessity of remote laboratory instruction by creating choose-your-own-adventure-style video-based online experiments introduced…
