Laura Fattal; Lynn Needle – Journal of Dance Education, 2024
Climate change is a contemporary global crisis that necessitates pedagogical innovation for the middle school dance classroom. This article describes an integrated design for a dance and science unit. Building on students' kinesthetic abilities, teachers are able to create a unit comprising a series of lessons on bird migrations effected by…

Samantha A. Maas; Nicholas J. Wiesenthal; Sara E. Brownell; Katelyn M. Cooper – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2024
LGBTQ+ individuals face discrimination and stigma in academic biology. These challenges are likely magnified for graduate students. However, there have been no studies documenting the experiences of LGBTQ+ life sciences graduate students. To address this gap, we conducted an interview study of 22 biology PhD students from 13 universities across…

Joselaine Setlik – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2024
We develop the notions of "resistance" and "points of entry" in the context of alternative written textual formats used in physics teacher education. Studies point out that textbooks have played an important role in undergraduate physics courses, which can be part of the initial training of physics teachers. On the foundation…

Shaohui Chi; Zuhao Wang; Li Qian – Science & Education, 2024
Enabling students to learn about science is essential for science education. Students are expected to not only gain scientific knowledge but also need to develop a deep understanding of science. One approach to equipping students with a sense of science is to present science as a living collective human enterprise. As essential educational…

Lautaro Cabrera; Diane Jass Ketelhut; Kelly Mills; Heather Killen; Merijke Coenraad; Virginia L. Byrne; Jandelyn Dawn Plane – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
As professional science becomes increasingly computational, researchers and educators are advocating for the integration of computational thinking (CT) into science education. Researchers and policymakers have argued that CT learning opportunities should begin in elementary school and span across the K-12 grades. While researchers and policymakers…

Idul, Joevi Jhun A.; Caro, Virgencita B. – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
This study investigates the effects of process-oriented guided inquiry learning (POGIL) on the academic performance and science process skills of Grade 10 Filipino students in science. Specifically, this study aimed to (1) determine and compare the level of academic performance of students when exposed to POGIL and non-POGIL and (2) assess the…

Gervásio, João; Sampaio, Yala; Muniz, Paulo; Yamada, Camila; Felicori, Liza F. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
Learning synthetic biology is often seen as a far distant possibility, restricted to those who have the privilege of an academic career. We propose a student-centered discussion group around synthetic biology, aimed at people from high school onwards with different backgrounds to interact and learn about synthetic biology. We developed a 14-week…

Goldhagen, Gillian Blake – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Chapter 1 is a seismic study of the mantle structure of the passive margin of northeastern North America. This region experienced multiple episodes of rifting and orogenesis in the past, and the study aims to understand how the Wilson Cycle impacts the geometry of the upper mantle seismic structure beneath southern New England using Sp receiver…

Mata, Lawrence Edward – Science Education International, 2022
The purpose of this quantitative, causal-comparative research study was to determine if and to what extent there were differences in chemistry end-of-course (EOC) examination scores between high school chemistry students taught using POGIL pedagogy and non-POGIL pedagogy in the state of Utah. Piaget's cognitive development theory and Johnstone's…

Quang, Ngo Khoa – Physics Teacher, 2022
This article describes a simple way to introduce nanomaterials using the presence of carbon nanodots (CNDs) in widely available food. Budweiser® beer and Coca-Cola®, commercial foods that are commonly accessible, were utilized to demonstrate the optical property of nanoparticles. Specifically, green and violet laser pointers were employed for the…

Wangda, Karma; Ghakkey, Prem Kumar; Chhophel, Sangay; Kinzang, Sangay; Subba, Kailash; Norbu, Chuzang – Online Submission, 2022
Teaching Science innovatively has become a key motivation in educational parlance to uplift the academic achievement of the learners. There are numerous teaching strategies and skills developed by educationists, researchers and teachers to teach the subject creatively in the classroom. Thinking Maps is one such teaching strategy that enables the…

Cairns, Dean; Areepattamannil, Shaljan – Research in Science Education, 2022
This study investigated the relationships of teacher-directed approaches with science achievement in Australian schools. The data for this study were drawn from the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2015 database and analysed using multilevel modelling (MLM). MLMs were estimated to test the contribution of each item to students'…

Almorza, D.; Prada, A.; Kandús, M. V.; Salerno, J. C. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Graduates in biology or genetics learn Mendel's laws and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium as students, and they know, use, and sometimes teach these concepts. However, it is unusual to learn about stochastic processes during the graduate studies of these topics, although the applications of Markov chains in the fields of genetics or biology are…
