Undergraduate research is an important component of a B.Tech. Biotechnology program. In the present study, a customizable approach designed with open-source bioinformatics tools and databases was introduced to predict siRNAs for ZIKV therapeutics. With minimal prior exposure to bioinformatics, this workflow can be executed with detailed steps as…

Tamara Belen Palermo; Lorena Del Rosario Cappellari; Julieta Chiappero; Romina Del Valle Meneguzzi; Samanta Gil; Walter Giordano; Erika Banchio – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Despite the growing awareness of the importance of plant secondary metabolites in insect-plant interactions, undergraduate degree content in agronomy and biology generally does not provide a clear concept to students in relation to secondary metabolite induction of plant defences, implying that students do not obtain a good understanding of the…

The current situation in education is characterized by an increased role for the environmental dimension. The purpose of our research is to develop an experimental verification and an effective methodology for shaping the readiness of students of biology, for environmental and local study activities. The research involved theoretical and…

Darling, Randi A. – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2020
I teach an animal behavior course where students conduct independent research projects; however, using live animals for research is challenging at a small university. Often, students choose to conduct a laboratory project over a field project believing that it will be easier to observe animals and control variables, but it can be difficult and…

Waynant, Kristopher V.; George, Archie; Hartzell, Patricia L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
A required first-year laboratory course was overhauled into a semester-long biosciences course-based undergraduate research experience (BioCURE) with a goal of enhancing learning and improving retention. Student attributes and outcomes were continually monitored by the University's Institutional Research office over a 5-year period and compared…

The integration of ideas, defined as the process by which students organize and connect new knowledge for deeper understanding, is essential for lifelong learning. (Government of Canda, Employment and Social Development Canada, 2017; Rateau, Kaufman, & Cletzer, 2015). Integration across sub-disciplines in biology requires an understanding of…

Marshall, Pamela A. – Journal of Biological Education, 2019
In the world of higher education, one of the struggles instructors face in the classroom is engaging students in the material. A second discussion in higher education pedagogy is how to weigh content versus activity in the science classroom. How should college teaching be set up when students now have every fact ever found at their fingertips on a…

Eva N. Nyutu; Víctor Carmona-Galindo; Maris C. Polanco – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2023
In this paper, we describe the transition of all five course-sections of General Biology Laboratory I from "cookbook" surveys of taxonomic domains and kingdoms to course-based undergraduate research experiences that champion inquiry-based learning in "real world" environments. We achieved this by scaling-up lessons from a…

Prashanth Ramesh Rao; Ashok Belle Upadhyaya; Meera Nanjundan – International Journal of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, 2023
In Cell Biology, a sophomore/junior undergraduate-level high-enrollment core course, students areexpected to develop a broad and detailed understanding of the functioning of eukaryotic cells. Forexample, some of the more challenging biological concepts include machinery involved in thereplication and translational processes, protein…

Lansverk, Allison L.; Lichti, Deborah A.; Blinka, Kate W.; Callis-Duehl, Kristine L. – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2020
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are increasing being taught to undergraduates across institutions and topics and offer an opportunity for more students to participate in authentic research. There are many types of "CUREs" with varying degrees of including all five elements identified by Auchincloss et al. (2014)…

Rowland, Ashley A.; Rowland, Ashley A.; Steinwand, Blaire; Bruno, John; Corwin, Lisa A. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2018
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) provide students opportunities to engage in research in a course. Aspects of CURE design, such as providing students opportunities to make discoveries, collaborate, engage in relevant work, and iterate to solve problems are thought to contribute to outcome achievement in CUREs. Yet how each…

Ahmed, Noveera T. – American Biology Teacher, 2015
This classroom activity is based on a constructivist learning design and engages students in physically constructing a karyotype of three mock patients. Students then diagnose the chromosomal aneuploidy based on the karyotype, list the symptoms associated with the disorder, and discuss the implications of the diagnosis. This activity is targeted…

Sanft, Rebecca; Walter, Anne – PRIMUS, 2016
St. Olaf College recently added a Mathematical Biology concentration to its curriculum. The core course, Mathematics of Biology, was redesigned to include a wet laboratory. The lab classes required students to collect data and implement the essential modeling techniques of formulation, implementation, validation, and analysis. The four labs…

Kim, Sung Un – School Library Research, 2015
This researcher sought to examine enablers and inhibitors to English language learner (ELL) students' research process within the framework of Carol C. Kuhlthau's Information Search Process (ISP). At a high school forty-eight ELL students in three classes, an English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher, and a biology teacher participated in the…
