Direct linkStover, Shawn; Mabry, Michelle – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2020
Social media platforms and other internet sites may propagate inaccurate or misleading information. This misinformation encourages speculation, rumors, and mistrust in established science. In the current study, we attempted to determine whether biology and environmental science students at a small college are able to transfer their critical…

Shinana, Ester; Ngcoza, Kenneth M.; Mavhunga, Elizabeth – African Journal of Research in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2021
Research findings show that inquiry-based science education has positive effects in improving learning of both science content knowledge and scientific inquiry (SI) skills. As a result, various science curricula, including that of Namibia, recommend the use of an inquiry-based approach in science teaching. However, the implementation of an…

McQuade, Richard; Kometa, Simon; Brown, Jeremy; Bevitt, Debra; Hall, Judith – Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, 2020
Research project modules are a key part of UK undergraduate and postgraduate bioscience degree programmes. Report marking invariably uses two assessors, but marking models are mixed with some institutions using two independent markers and others using the project supervisor as one of the assessors. This latter model is controversial with critics…

McCain, Jesse; Roksa, Josipa – Studies in Graduate and Postdoctoral Education, 2023
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how doctoral students in the biological sciences understand their research skill development and explore potential racial/ethnic and gender inequalities in the scientific learning process. Design/methodology/approach: Based on interviews with 87 doctoral students in the biological sciences, this…

Kapofu, Lifeas Kudakwashe – South African Journal of Education, 2019
Framed within Schein's culture model, this study re-centres teacher culture as a key variable in pedagogic settings. Teachers' cultures or basic assumptions in a culturally diverse desegregated school are explored as a crucial dictate in the emergence of the context in which teaching and learning materialises. Through engagement in a focused…

Kacprzyk, Joanna; Parsons, Martin; Maguire, Patricia B.; Stewart, Gavin S. – Irish Educational Studies, 2019
The optimum assessment structure measures student knowledge accurately and without bias. In this study, the performance of the first-year undergraduate science students from the University College Dublin was evaluated to test the gender equality of the assessment structure in place. Results of male and female students taking three life science…

Dove, Edward S.; Garattini, Chiara – Research Ethics, 2018
Life sciences research is increasingly international and data-intensive. Researchers work in multi-jurisdictional teams or formally established research consortia to exchange data and conduct research using computation of multiple sources and volumes of data at multiple sites and through multiple pathways. Despite the internationalization and data…

Gerl, Thomas; Randler, Christoph; Neuhaus, Birgit Jana – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
Vertebrate species knowledge, a key factor for conserving biodiversity, is a compulsory part of school curricula. This study evaluated the vertebrate species knowledge of sixth-grade German grammar school pupils (aged 11-13) to investigate the influence of socio-demographic factors (gender, size of hometown, mother tongue), personal expectations…

Taylor, Maria; Hung, Jacob; Che, Thi Elena; Akinbosede, Daniel; Petherick, Katy J.; Pranjol, Md Zahidul I. – Education Sciences, 2021
This study presents a case for decolonising the life sciences curriculum to improve representation of the Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) scholars--a step in eliminating the race "awarding gap". Here, we investigated diversity among authors in terms of ethnicity and gender of reading lists at the School of Life Sciences,…

The COVID-19 pandemic shut down undergraduate research programs across the United States. A group of 23 colleges, universities, and research institutes hosted remote undergraduate research programs in the life sciences during Summer 2020. Given the unprecedented offering of remote programs, we carried out a study to describe and evaluate them.…

Ramnarain, Umesh; Dlamini, Thandiwe; Bansal, Garima; Dhurumraj, Thasmai – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
This study explored five Life Sciences teachers' practices of formative assessment when enacting an inquiry-based pedagogy. The ESRU cycle (teacher "Elicits" a response; the Student responds; the teacher "Recognises" the student's response; and then "Uses" the information collected to support student learning) was…
