Whitney S. Aragaki – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation is an invitation into our beloved biology classroom. Weaving hermeneutic phenomenology and critical participatory teacher action research, this study investigated self as teacher and two cohorts of student participants in a high school biology experience utilizing an 'Aina Aloha praxis. Articulating my ongoing 'Aina Aloha praxis,…

Rebeka A. F. Greenall – ProQuest LLC, 2023
To increase equity and inclusion for underserved and excluded Indigenous students, we must make efforts to mitigate the unique barriers they face. As their knowledge systems have been historically excluded and erased in Western science, we begin by reviewing the literature on the inclusion of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) in biology…

Mangahas, Ana Marie E. – ProQuest LLC, 2016
This mixed method study explored the beliefs of teachers in religious schools regarding evolution, their attitudes toward evolution, and their teaching of evolutionary content along with Christian high school biology teachers' perceptions regarding how their religious beliefs affected their teaching of evolution. The quantitative portion of the…

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…

Mangahas, Ana Marie E. – Journal of Research on Christian Education, 2017
This mixed method study explored Christian teachers' beliefs in religious schools on evolution, their attitudes toward evolution, and their perceptions on the effect of those beliefs on the teaching of evolutionary content. Teachers (N = 52) from Association for Christian Schools International (ACSI) accredited schools in California and Hawaii…

Kuwahara, Jennifer L. H. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2013
This study investigates how students' participation in a place-based science curriculum may influence their place attachment (dependence and identity). Participants attend an urban high school in Hawai'i and are members of different cultural institutions within the school. Students are either enrolled in an environmental science class within the…

Mason, Makena; Aihara-Sasaki, Maria; Grace, J. Kenneth – Journal of Extension, 2013
The efficacy of Educate to Eradicate, a K-12 service-learning science curricula developed as part of a statewide, community-based Extension effort for termite prevention, was evaluated. The curricula use termite biology and control as the basis for science education and have been implemented in over 350 Hawaii public school classrooms with more…

Morrison, Catherine; McDougall, Dennis; Black, Rhonda S.; King-Sears, Margaret E. – Journal of College Teaching & Learning, 2014
Results from a multiple baseline with changing conditions design across high school students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) indicated that the students increased the percentage of independent work they completed in their general education biology class after learning tactile-cued self-monitoring. Students maintained high…

Francom, Greg; Bybee, David; Wolfersberger, Mark; Mendenhall, Anne; Merrill, M. David – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2009
Many new instructional theories advocate centering instruction around a set of authentic tasks to improve application and transfer of knowledge and help students take more responsibility for their own learning. At BYU-Hawaii, a general education biology course was redesigned to follow this task-centered approach and then taught to two groups of…

McCully, Kristin M. – ProQuest LLC, 2013
To protect and conserve the Earth's biodiversity and ecosystem services, it is important not only to understand and conserve species and ecosystems, but also to instill an understanding and appreciation for biodiversity and ecosystem services in the next generations of both scientists and citizens. Thus, this dissertation combines research into…

Hunt, Jeffrey W. – American Biology Teacher, 1980
Describes a 16-week course in marine biology involving a class-coordinated investigation of a subtropical biotic fringing reef of Hawaii. Describes in detail the development of preliminary hypotheses regarding general cause-effect relationships on the reef, and the exploration of specific areas, such as chemical or physical factors.

Taylor, Leighton – Sea World, 1978
Describes the Waikiki Aquarium, one of the oldest aquaria in the United States. After a brief history of the aquarium, some of the outstanding displays are described. In addition, some of the current research projects and discoveries in marine biology at the aquarium are discussed. Finally, the aquarium's educational programs are described. (BB)

Hawaii State Dept. of Education, Honolulu. Office of Instructional Services. – 1986
Designed to help teachers implement marine education in their classrooms, this module provides information regarding a vanishing Hawaiian resource, fishponds. Due to the impact of present day human activities on shoreline areas, the size and number of fishponds have been greatly reduced; therefore, this module focuses on fishponds as a resource…

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (DOC), Rockville, MD. – 2002
This activity is designed to teach about hydrothermal vent ecology. Students are expected to describe how hydrothermal vents are formed and characterize the physical conditions at these sites, explain chemosynthesis and contrast this process with photosynthesis, identify autotrophic bacteria as the basis for food webs in hydrothermal vent…

Duncan, Kanesa; Daly-Engel, Toby – Science Teacher, 2006
The desire to observe and understand the natural world is strong in young children, but high school students often consider science irrelevant to their daily lives. Therefore, as teachers of older age groups, the authors constantly struggle to engage students in scientific exploration so they can master concepts and appreciate the nature of…
