Quantitative abilities and techniques are vital in modern biological sciences from lab calculations and classical hypothesis testing to the growth of 'omics' and big data. Long before the employability at Higher Education can be considered, the transition between Secondary and Higher Education must be. Students doing biological sciences degrees at…

Ross, Pauline M.; Mercer-Mapstone, Lucy; Pozza, Liana E.; Poronnik, Philip; Hinton, Tina; Field, Damien J. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
While biomedical and life science research have embraced interdisciplinarity as the means to solving pressing 21st century complex challenges, interdisciplinarity in undergraduate education has been more difficult to implement. As a consequence, disciplinary rather than interdisciplinary capstones have become ubiquitous. Disciplinary capstones are…

Jessica Stephenson Reaves; Anna Arias – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
Equitable sensemaking allows for meaningful understanding of the big ideas of science and deeper engagement in science practices. Many nonscience majors, including elementary preservice teachers (PSTs), do not have opportunities to engage in equitable sensemaking within their secondary or college-level courses. An innovative cycle to support…

Geller, Benjamin D.; Tipton, Maya; Daniel-Morales, Brandon; Tignor, Nikhil; White, Calvin; Crouch, Catherine H. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
A central goal of introductory physics for the life sciences (IPLS) is to prepare students to use physics to model and analyze biological situations, a skill of increasing importance for their future studies and careers. Here we report our findings on life science students' ability to carry out a sophisticated biological modeling task at the end…

Madamanchi, Aasakiran; Thomas, Madison; Magana, Alejandra; Heiland, Randy; Macklin, Paul – PRIMUS, 2022
There is growing awareness of the need for mathematics and computing to quantitatively understand the complex dynamics and feedbacks in the life sciences. Although several institutions and research groups are conducting pioneering multidisciplinary research, communication and education across fields remain a bottleneck. The opportunity is ripe for…

Stearns, Shep; McKee, Katherine E.; Dole, John M.; Bruce, Jackie – Journal of Ethnographic & Qualitative Research, 2022
In the present study, we analyzed the narratives embedded in the undergraduate personal statements of 40 nontraditional students--ages 25 years and older--accepted to an undergraduate degree program in agriculture and life sciences. Although widely available to universities, personal statements have been overlooked in the literature of…

Undergraduate research is one of the most valuable activities an undergraduate can engage in because of its benefits, and studies have shown that longer experiences are more beneficial. However, prior research has illuminated that undergraduates encounter challenges that may cause them to exit research prematurely. These studies have been almost…

Oke, Muse; Agbalajobi, Ramon; Osifeso, Mowaninuwuraola; Muhammad, Babagana; Lawal, Halimat; Mai, Muhammad; Adegunle, Quadri – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
Contemporary biology is currently undergoing a revolution, driven by the availability of high-throughput technologies and a wide variety of bioinformatics tools. However, bioinformatics education and practice is still in its infancy in most of the African continent. Consequently, concerted efforts have been made in recent years to incorporate…

Ashish Katyal; Shibasish Chowdhury; Pankaj Kumar Sharma; Manoj Kannan – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
The Integrated Course Design (ICD), using Fink's taxonomy of significant learning, popularly known as ICD/SL, is a handy way to create a better learning environment for students. It is a learner-centered approach with the desired end-product, but at the same time, it upgrades the teaching by improving the instructors' delivery mechanism. Our goal…

Limeri, Lisa B.; Asif, Muhammad Zaka; Dolan, Erin L. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers (postgraduates) in the life sciences frequently mentor undergraduate researchers, especially at research universities. Yet there has been only modest investigation of this relationship from the postgraduate perspective. We conducted an exploratory study of the experiences of 32 postgraduate mentors…

Zeng, Xiaofang – Journal of Education, 2023
This study compared syntactic complexity between undergraduate students' research papers and published research papers. A 2 (Groups: experts, students) × 4 (Sections: introduction, methods, results, discussions) mixed factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted on each of the following variables: T-unit length, clause density, the…

A parallel series of general chemistry courses for Life Science Majors was created in an effort to support students and improve general chemistry outcomes. We created a two-quarter enhanced general chemistry course series that is not remedial, but instead implements several evidence-based teaching practices including Process Oriented Guided…

Immersive research opportunities allow students to take ownership of their learning, explore based on curiosity, and engage in the scientific process while developing confidence and skills. However, research positions for biology undergraduates are limited, and conventional teaching labs are often restricted to pre-designed experiments without…

Aligning Calculus with Life Sciences Disciplines: The Argument for Integrating Statistical Reasoning
Luque, Antoni; Mullinix, James; Anderson, Matt; Williams, Kathy S.; Bowers, Janet – PRIMUS, 2022
Governmental and educational organizations have pointed out that students coming into the biological sciences require stronger skills in statistics and data modeling that are not usually addressed in typical engineering-based calculus courses. Our work here documents how faculty in biology and mathematics addressed this issue at a large urban…

Eich, Elizabeth; Catanese, Daniel J., Jr.; King, Brian; Beier, Margaret E. – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2022
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are increasingly popular, but less often implemented in core laboratory courses due to the strict learning objectives necessary for follow-on courses. A curricular core intermediate-level experimental biosciences laboratory course was implemented, which paired competency-based assignments…
