Mitchell, Miguel O. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Although the potent effects of cation-p interactions for stabilizing protein structure and binding ligands to proteins have been reported in the chemical literature for over two decades, there are no undergraduate biochemistry textbooks covering this important noncovalent attractive force. In an attempt to remedy this situation, this primer…

Ryoo, Kihyun; Bedell, Kristin; Swearingen, Amanda – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2018
Ensuring that all students, including English language learners (ELLs) who speak English as a second language, succeed in science is more challenging with a shift towards learning through language-intensive science practices suggested by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Interactive visualization technologies have the potential to…

Briggs, Sherri B.; Hafenbreidel, Madalyn; Young, Erica J.; Rumbaugh, Gavin; Miller, Courtney A. – Learning & Memory, 2018
Using pharmacologic and genetic approaches targeting actin or the actin-driving molecular motor, nonmuscle myosin II (NMII), we previously discovered an immediate, retrieval-independent, and long-lasting disruption of methamphetamine- (METH-) and amphetamine-associated memories. A single intrabasolateral amygdala complex infusion or systemic…

Florjanczyk, Ursula; Ng, Derek P.; Andreopoulos, Stavroula; Jenkinson, Jodie – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
The mathematical models that describe enzyme kinetics are invaluable predictive tools in numerous scientific fields. However, the daunting mathematical language used to describe kinetic behavior can be confusing for life science students; they often struggle to conceptualize and relate the mathematical representations to the molecular phenomena…

Çalis, Sevgül – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2018
In this study with high school students, a descriptive scanning model, one of the qualitative research methods, was used to determine the extent to which the achievements of the hybridization occurred. The study was conducted with 12th grade students studying in a public high school in Bursa in 2017-2018 academic year. According to the findings…

Dale, Keith; Dale, Stephen G. – Teaching Science, 2018
The Australian Curriculum (n.d.) describes chemistry as having three interrelated strands, Science Inquiry Skills, Science as a Human Endeavour and Science Understanding. It also states "... the three strands of the Australian Curriculum: Science should be taught in an integrated way". This article will explore a model for integrating…

Köse, Mücahit – Education Quarterly Reviews, 2021
The purpose of the study is to determine the knowledge and awareness of gifted children receiving education in the Science and Art Center on nanotechnology. The descriptive survey model was used in the study. The purposeful sampling method was chosen and a total of 160 students receiving education in two Science and Art Centers located in the city…

Clent, Bethanie A.; Wang, Yuhang; Britton, Hugh C.; Otto, Frank; Swain, Christopher J.; Todd, Matthew H.; Wilden, Jonathan D.; Tabor, Alethea B. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
In response to the closure of many university laboratories due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, a handbook and remote webinar approach designed to support students in the use of software tools for computer-aided drug design has been developed. Specifically, the course has been designed for chemistry and pharmacy students who have little or no…

Volfson, Alexander; Eshach, Haim; Ben-Abu, Yuval – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2019
In the present theoretical study, we introduce the entropy concept into Chi's ontological shift theory. Chi distinguishes between two categories of process phenomena, direct and emergent, and claims that incorrectly considering emergent processes as direct ones is one of the sources of students' robust scientific misconceptions. The present study…

Hudson-Smith, Natalie V.; Cahill, Meghan S.; Klein, Nathan D.; Krause, Miriam O.P.; Haynes, Christy L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Although nanotechnology lessons are increasingly integrated into curricula, students still face significant challenges in understanding the characterization techniques used to investigate nanotechnology. Many characterization techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), are prohibitively expensive for primarily undergraduate…

Sharma, R. K.; Yadav, Subham; Gupta, Radhika; Arora, Gunjan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Systems thinking is highly desirable for re-imagining chemistry education, which will help in the development of an integrated and sustainable approach that takes into account the interdependence of a system under study with other components of the ecosystem rather than practicing a fragmented approach. Thus, to develop a systems' perspective into…

Faggioni, Thaís; Ferreira, Natiele Carla da Silva; Lopes, Renato Matos; Fidalgo-Neto, Antonio Augusto; Cotta-de-Almeida, Vinicius; Alves, Luiz Anastacio – Advances in Physiology Education, 2019
The use of computers as a pedagogical resource is currently on the rise. In the case of immunology, students present difficulties in visualizing molecular phenomena. Thus the use of animations and simulations available on the internet might facilitate the learning of complex immunological concepts. In this context, it is important to map and…

Omar, Kassem Ayman; Mozol, Vivian – Papers on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching, 2020
Spatial ability is an important tool in chemistry and this ability can be improved. Various technologies have been used to improve spatial ability. However, it is not clear if viewing technologies should take the place of the model kit; the traditional method of learning about molecular structures. Our research aims to address this gap. In our…

Sausan, Inas; Saputro, Sulistyo; Indriyanti, Nurma Yunita – International Journal of Instruction, 2020
Most junior high school students considered chemistry as a complicated science subject with an abstract concept, symbols, and terms that must be memorized. The difficulty of learning chemistry made students had low positive perceptions of chemistry. It was needed the right ways to introduce chemistry to them. The purpose of the multiple case study…

Wiener, Gerfried J.; Schmeling, Sascha M.; Hopf, Martin – Physics Education, 2017
We present a new learning unit, which introduces 12 year-olds to the subatomic structure of matter. The learning unit was iteratively developed as a design-based research project using the technique of probing acceptance. We give a brief overview of the unit's final version, discuss its key ideas and main concepts, and conclude by highlighting the…
