Ecosystems, interacting systems of biotic and abiotic factors, are a fascinating topic in life science. The "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS Lead States 2013) recognize "Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics" (HS-LS2) as one of four overarching ideas in life science that students should understand. Student…

Undergraduate research is one of the most valuable activities an undergraduate can engage in because of its benefits, and studies have shown that longer experiences are more beneficial. However, prior research has illuminated that undergraduates encounter challenges that may cause them to exit research prematurely. These studies have been almost…

Land, Nicole; Vidotto, Danica – Sport, Education and Society, 2021
This article investigates how particular conceptions of physical development (PD) are enacted in early childhood studies in Toronto, Canada. Following critical childhood studies scholars who emphasize the urgency of re-formulating relationships with taken-for-granted concepts in the field, we argue for a practice of noticing, tracing, naming, and…

Wofford, Annie M.; Griffin, Kimberly A.; Roksa, Josipa – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2021
One of the central goals of doctoral programs is to develop independent researchers and scholars who will lead the next generation of knowledge production. Despite extant evidence of inequalities in doctoral education, few studies have closely examined the experiences of first-generation college students who pursue a Ph.D. We examine how…

Oke, Muse; Agbalajobi, Ramon; Osifeso, Mowaninuwuraola; Muhammad, Babagana; Lawal, Halimat; Mai, Muhammad; Adegunle, Quadri – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
Contemporary biology is currently undergoing a revolution, driven by the availability of high-throughput technologies and a wide variety of bioinformatics tools. However, bioinformatics education and practice is still in its infancy in most of the African continent. Consequently, concerted efforts have been made in recent years to incorporate…

The transition students face moving from Further Education (FE) to Higher Education (HE) can be a daunting experience. This transition to HE may require a substantial adjustment to a student mindset recognising that they would be responsible for their own learning and their eventual success compared to a FE environment where student learning is…

A student's middle school science experience strongly impacts their future science, technology, engineering, and mathematics interest. The Japanese lesson study (JLS) model strengthens the student's experience through a research-based, collaborative, multistep, teaching-centered process focused on transforming local instructional practices. The…

Ashish Katyal; Shibasish Chowdhury; Pankaj Kumar Sharma; Manoj Kannan – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
The Integrated Course Design (ICD), using Fink's taxonomy of significant learning, popularly known as ICD/SL, is a handy way to create a better learning environment for students. It is a learner-centered approach with the desired end-product, but at the same time, it upgrades the teaching by improving the instructors' delivery mechanism. Our goal…

Limeri, Lisa B.; Asif, Muhammad Zaka; Dolan, Erin L. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers (postgraduates) in the life sciences frequently mentor undergraduate researchers, especially at research universities. Yet there has been only modest investigation of this relationship from the postgraduate perspective. We conducted an exploratory study of the experiences of 32 postgraduate mentors…

Zeng, Xiaofang – Journal of Education, 2023
This study compared syntactic complexity between undergraduate students' research papers and published research papers. A 2 (Groups: experts, students) × 4 (Sections: introduction, methods, results, discussions) mixed factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted on each of the following variables: T-unit length, clause density, the…

A parallel series of general chemistry courses for Life Science Majors was created in an effort to support students and improve general chemistry outcomes. We created a two-quarter enhanced general chemistry course series that is not remedial, but instead implements several evidence-based teaching practices including Process Oriented Guided…

Opitz, Sebastian; Harms, Ute – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
For decades, studies have revealed students' decreasing interest in science. Extracurricular learning opportunities--the Science Olympiads being a publicly well-known example--are an important means identified to tackle this challenge and help students further differentiate their interests. Better understanding the underlying constructs and…

Halpin, Patricia; Donahue, Ann E.; Johnson, Kathryn M. S. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2020
Experiential learning experiences (ELEs), opportunities for students to apply knowledge and skills critically in a hands-on environment, are fundamental to the apprenticeship model of biological and biotechnological sciences. ELEs enhance student-learning gains, increase career readiness, and provide important networking opportunities. However,…

White-Lewis, Damani K. – Teachers College Record, 2021
Background/Context: Although academic departments have more tools to advance faculty diversity than ever before, many still downplay their own responsibility throughout the hiring process. This results in a cycle of apathy that activates once searches are already under way, and structural change is out of reach. Yet few studies empirically outline…

Kozlovskaya, Ekaterina; Gorbulinskaya, Elena; Kosareva, Tatiana – Journal of Educational Psychology - Propositos y Representaciones, 2021
The article covers motivation as a complex psychopedagogical process reflecting the level of preparatory department students' personal readiness to learn Russian as a foreign language. The article shows that teaching Russian is a complex multi-dimensional process closely linked to an individual's motivational abilities. The author analyzes…
