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.…

Barnes, M. Elizabeth; Supriya, K.; Zheng, Yi; Roberts, Julie A.; Brownell, Sara E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Evolution is controversial among students and religiosity, religious affiliation, understanding of evolution, and demographics are predictors of evolution acceptance. However, quantitative research has not explored the unique impact of student perceived conflict between their religion and evolution as a major factor influencing evolution…

Exploring Social and Cognitive Engagement in Small Groups through a Community of Learners (CoL) Lens
Nennig, Hannah T.; States, Nicole E.; Macrie-Shuck, Michael; Fateh, Shaghayegh; Gunes, Zubeyde Demet Kirbulut; Cole, Renee; Rushton, Gregory T.; Shah, Lisa; Talanquer, Vicente – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
A variety of research studies reveal the advantages of actively engaging students in the learning process through collaborative work in the classroom. However, the complex nature of the learning environment in large college general chemistry courses makes it challenging to identify the different factors that affect students' cognitive and social…

Barnes, M. Elizabeth; Dunlop, Hayley M.; Sinatra, Gale M.; Hendrix, Taija M.; Zheng, Yi; Brownell, Sara E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
Although many scientists agree that evolution does not make claims about God/god(s), students might assume that evolution is atheistic, and this may lead to lower evolution acceptance. In study 1, we surveyed 1081 college biology students at one university about their religiosity and evolution acceptance and asked what religious ideas someone…

Fish, Brittany A.; Jumper, Rachel L. – Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences, 2021
This paper presents the results of a nationwide survey of educators for grades 6-12 who specialize in family and consumer sciences education (N=380). The paper examines teacher reports about their self-efficacy in online learning during the switch to off-campus instruction. Data revealed that district communication to teachers indicating that they…

Scherr, Rachel E.; Plisch, Monica; Goertzen, Renee Michelle – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2017
Understanding the mechanisms of increasing the number of physics teachers educated per year at institutions with thriving physics teacher preparation programs may inspire and support other institutions in building thriving programs of their own. The Physics Teacher Education Coalition (PhysTEC), led by the American Physical Society (APS) and the…

Pfirman, Stephanie; Hamilton, Lawrence; Turrin, Margie; Narveson, Craig; Lloyd, Carrie A. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2021
This first analysis of aggregated data from the Kahoot! game-based player response system demonstrates that it can provide assessments of overall US student polar knowledge and identifies differences in polar knowledge across several states. A kahoot online quiz on polar topics recorded over 25,000 United States teacher-hosted classroom players…

Aasheim, Cheryl L.; Williams, Susan; Rutner, Paige; Gardiner, Adrian – Journal of Information Systems Education, 2015
The rate at which data is produced and accumulated today is greater than at any point in history with little prospect of slowing. As organizations attempt to collect and analyze this data, there is a tremendous unmet demand for appropriately skilled knowledge workers. In response, universities are developing degree programs in data science and…

DeVitis, Joseph L., Ed. – Peter Lang Publishing Group, 2013
Mark Van Doren, the noted literary scholar, once remarked, "The college is meaningless without a curriculum, but it is more so when it has one that is meaningless." Many current critics of undergraduate curricula in America assent to the crucial need for programmatic renewal in our colleges and universities. They bemoan the cookie-cutter…

Hilborn, Robert C., Ed.; Howes, Ruth H., Ed.; Krane, Kenneth S., Ed. – American Association of Physics Teachers (NJ1), 2003
Strategic Programs for Innovations in Undergraduate Physics (SPIN-UP) set out to answer an intriguing question: Why, in the 1990s, did some physics departments increase the number of bachelor's degrees awarded in physics or maintain a number much higher than the national average for their type of institution? During that decade, the number of…
