Wei Xiong; Huhu Yin; Xiujing Xing; Hao Li – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Although the present university-level chemistry experimental curriculum has been extensive and well-designed, it lacks a connection with the scientific research field, especially the frontier field. It is crucial to incorporate recent discoveries through new experiment designs to bridge this gap and boost the value of the undergraduate…

Ashley L. Waring-Sparks; Rachel A. Waring-Sparks; Rebekka Darner; Nathan T. Mortimer – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
While undergraduate research has been shown to be a high-impact educational practice, it is logistically impossible for all undergraduate biology majors to have long-term faculty-mentored research experience. Therefore, biology educators and researchers must devise opportunities to engage more students in undergraduate research outside of working…

Meng Wang; Jingwen He; Wei Lei; Qianfu Luo; Wenjun Wu; Wei-Hong Zhu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
The essence of university courses lies in their scientific rigor, while the enjoyment of learning serves as a motivation. In this regard, we have developed a comprehensive experiment project by incorporating dithienylethene-based photochromic units into sensitizers for renewable energy, specifically dye-sensitized solar cells, through organic…

Robin Stoodley; Kerry J. Knox; Elizabeth A. L. Gillis – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Undergraduate chemistry laboratory instruction can be considered from many perspectives and addresses multiple educational aims. We critically assess an inventory of "Cognitive Tasks of Experimental Research" for its applicability to chemistry laboratory teaching, and then apply it to an integrated upper-level laboratory course as an…

Masunaga, Hiromi; Chun, Chi-Ah; Vu, Kim-Phuong L. – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2023
This study examined the role of science identity in a two-year upper-division research training program that prepares diverse undergraduate students for a research career. Using the annual year-end student evaluation data, we examined whether science identity is a predictor or an outcome of learning that enhances career preparation in biomedical…

Irby, Stefan M. – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) have been described in a range of educational contexts. Although various learning objectives, termed anticipated learning outcomes (ALOs) in this project, have been proposed, processes for identifying them may not be rigorous or well-documented, which can lead to inappropriate assessment and…

Gros, Begoña; Viader, Manel; Cornet, Albert; Martínez, Miquel; Palés, Jordi; Sancho, Marta – International Journal of Higher Education, 2020
The relationship between teaching and research in universities has been widely studied in the higher education literature, but no clear relationship between the two has been identified. Nevertheless, in recent years, research has been linked to a form of teaching that is more focused on the development of competences and learning capacity through…

Lillywhite, Aspen; Wolbring, Gregor – Education Sciences, 2019
Research experience is beneficial for undergraduate students for many reasons. For example, it is argued in academic literature and in reports produced by various organizations that engage with science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education and science education that undergraduate research experience increases the graduation rate in…

Schneider, Kimberley R.; VanBennekom, Neyda; Bahr, David; Burkett, Susan; Lusth, John C.; Pressley, Shelley – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2016
Three different course models devoted to preparing science and engineering students for successful research endeavors were offered at three research institutions. Goals of this work include (a) involving students early in their academic career so they can gain the most out of subsequent research experiences and (b) providing basic skills to make…

Zouda, Majd; Nishizawa, Tomo; Bencze, John Lawrence – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2016
Science and technology are argued to have controversial consequences on individuals, societies and environments. Citizens' socio-political activism seems paramount to address these consequences. This paper reports on Venezuelan students' socio-political actions on socioscientific issues highly relevant to them. It particularly focuses on students'…

Wilson, Anna; Howitt, Susan; Roberts, Pam; Åkerlind, Gerlese; Wilson, Kate – Studies in Higher Education, 2013
Recent studies of undergraduates engaged in authentic research have suggested that students may benefit in a range of different ways from such experiences. However, these same studies have also shown significant variation in the extent and universality of these benefits. This article investigates the impact of one potential source of variation in…

Bell, Philip; Bricker, Leah; Tzou, Carrie; Lee, Tiffany; Van Horne, Katie – Science and Children, 2012
The National Research Council's recent publication "A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas" (NRC 2011), which is the foundation for the Next Generation Science Standards now being developed, places unprecedented focus on the practices involved in doing scientific and engineering work. In an effort…

Stavrianeas, Stasinos; Stewart, Mark – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2011
Students of exercise science are well positioned to facilitate a shift of the nation's attitude on health care from disease treatment to disease prevention. This report chronicles our efforts toward transforming the exercise physiology core course from a lecture-based, instructor-centered class to a student-centered environment in which…
