Undergraduate-Level Biology Students' Application of Central Dogma to Understand COVID mRNA Vaccines
Saya Shahoy; Michelle Du; Ola Mostafa; Aliyah Parker; Dylan Martirano; Melinda T. Owens – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has underscored the importance of mRNA vaccines. The mechanism for how such vaccines work is related to the core biology topic of the central dogma, which students often misunderstand despite its importance. Therefore, we wanted to know whether students can apply their biology knowledge of central…

Vemu, Sheela; McDonald, Jeanne Gillespie; León-Valderrama, Nidia Vanessa – Intersection: A Journal at the Intersection of Assessment and Learning, 2020
A process for adapting a case study as a high impact practice for undergraduate microbiology classes is described and its use in assessing global awareness as an institutional outcome at the course level. Documenting the student learning of content objectives and retention is addressed. Four student artifacts are assessed with an adaption of…

Herrick, Imogen R.; Sinatra, Gale M.; Lombardi, Doug – Science Teacher, 2023
There has never been a more pressing need for students to learn how to evaluate scientific information online than during the COVID-19 outbreak. Information, misinformation, and disinformation spread quickly across online news and social media platforms. This misleading or incorrect scientific information about infectious diseases could lead to…

McGowan, Veronica Cassone; Bell, Philip – Educational and Developmental Psychologist, 2022
Objective: Systems thinking can be counterintuitive to everyday ways of knowing. This can surface doubt around predicted patterns of emergence in complex systems data, especially as it relates to the current climate crisis and related justice-oriented solutions. Method: Our study describes a four-year design-based research project in which we…

Inés Martinez Pena; Blanca Puig; Araitz Uskola – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2024
Systems thinking (ST) is an essential skill for understanding complex issues, making predictions and informed decisions. This research explores how students applied ST in complex health contexts using the 'One Health' (OH) approach. OH highlights the interdependence relationship between animal, human and ecosystemic health (including plants).…

Bearchell, Sarah – Primary Science, 2020
Since the schools in the United Kingdom (UK) closed to most pupils in March 2020 to try to stop the spread of COVID-19, the internet has delivered a flood of materials for 'home-schooling'. Finding the most appropriate resources has been overwhelming for teachers and parents alike. The majority of pupils in the UK (71.3-85.1%, depending on region)…

Bergman, Daniel J. – Clearing House: A Journal of Educational Strategies, Issues and Ideas, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic provides an opportunity for teachers to explicitly address nature of science (NOS) themes during instruction. Aligned with key NOS categories in the "Next Generation Science Standards," this article discusses events and trends from the pandemic that teachers can use to help students understand values and methods of…

King, David; Snyman, Magrieta; McGinitie, Elizabeth G. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on university course design, implementation, and instruction, with many courses being offered remotely rather than face-to-face to prevent the spread of COVID-19. As the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, more and more courses are transitioning back to face-to-face instruction. In this article, we…

Sergio Calavia; B. Bravo-Torija; B. Mazas – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
This paper presents an analysis of the socio-scientific dimensions which 46 11th graders, enrolled in the subject scientific culture, consider to justify their COVID-19 vaccination decision and how they managed to combine and integrate these dimensions before and after working on a sequence of activities aimed at learning about argumentation in…

Çingil Baris, Çigdem – Science Activities: Projects and Curriculum Ideas in STEM Classrooms, 2020
A virus is a small, infectious particle that lives inside a host. Today, viruses have an important role in our daily life. The reason for this is that viruses, including coronavirus (COVID-19), are affecting many people in the world. The most important measure that can be taken to stop the spread of the disease will be self-taken measures along…

Australian and New Zealand universities commenced a new academic year in February/March 2020 largely with "business as usual." The subsequent Covid-19 pandemic imposed unexpected disruptions to anatomical educational practice. Rapid change occurred due to government-imposed physical distancing regulations from March 2020 that…
