Scowcroft, Victoria; Davies, Steve R.; Mathlin, Gary; Sloan, Peter A. – Physics Education, 2023
Astronomy is one of the few sciences where the data (star-light) can be seen by all. Yet, there is a disconnect between a typical undergraduate lecture and, for example, where a planet may be in the sky and how to observe it. With the advent of moderate cost, high-quality 'back-garden' astronomy, and standard computers powerful enough to produce…

Eckert, Rebecca A.; Lamp, William O.; Marbach-Ad, Gili – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Functional feeding guild classification of aquatic insects is partly based on mouthpart morphology, but the link between mouthpart morphology and ecological feeding roles is often missed by students in the classroom. We implemented a Jigsaw activity in a freshwater biology course to help students connect morphology and ecology. Paired students…

Teasdale, Rachel; Aird, Hannah – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
In response to geoscience education research and calls for the need to reform STEM teaching in higher education, many geoscience faculty are adopting research-based pedagogies to improve student learning in their courses. Our own effort to reform our introductory geology course included daily student-centered activities and other reforms we…

Bapty, Hannah – Science & Education, 2023
It is 157 years since Mendel presented his results on hybridisation in peas to the Brünn Society for Natural Science. The discipline of genetics has dramatically changed since then, with technological advancements revealing multifactorial causation and trait variability. Whilst none of this complexity featured in the discovery of classical…

Ali Yildiz – Online Submission, 2023
The aim of the study is to reveal physics teachers' views on constants in teaching physics subjects that include physical constants. The phenomenology approach, one of the qualitative research designs, was used in the study. The study group consists of a total of 10 physics teachers, 2 female and 8 male, working in five public high schools in two…

The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) put forth an aspiring call for science educators to enact instructional experiences that enable all students to participate in the real-world practices of science. To achieve this, teachers need to create classroom environments that will attract all students to science learning and support and sustain…

Alexander Kmet'; Anna Drozdi´kova´; Son?a Nagyova´; Peter Ikhardt – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Over the past few decades, the photographic process has slowly vanished from chemistry education in most schools. It happened due to vast changes in both technology and legislation. It is, however, helpful in demonstrating several concepts in natural sciences, bringing a bit of art into the subjects, and giving students an opportunity to express…

Monroe, Christin B. – Journal of Science Education for Students with Disabilities, 2023
Text-to-speech (TTS) technology is a common accommodation available for students with disabilities. Despite the ubiquitous nature of TTS, this technology has not been explored in laboratory settings for neurodiverse college students. This study explores the adaptability of laboratory accessible TTS technology (originally developed for blind/low…

Anoshia Khan; Cristina Altamirano; Yousuf Khan; Haroon Saeed; Tyler Moreira; Troy T. Handlovic; Mohammed R. Elshaer; Justin A. Bogart – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Many of the current synthetic methodologies utilized within academic and industrial laboratories require knowledge of how to safely handle air- and moisture-sensitive reagents and work under inert atmospheres. As a result, the ACS Committee on Professional Training recommends incorporating synthetic methods that make use of these inert atmospheres…

Roger W. Giese – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The paired-term biochemistry exam comprises five pairs of "unrelated" biochemical terms, where the collection of pairs, overall, is unique for each student. The student selects four of the pairs and answers three short essay questions about each, with a focus on how structure leads to function at the molecular level. Both…

Given the importance of self-healing polymers for chemistry education, herein, we introduce our latest research results in self-healing materials based on thioctic acid into undergraduate chemistry laboratory. In this experiment, a natural small molecule, thioctic acid (TA), and a few other commercially-available reagents have been used to make a…

Quentin C. Sedlacek; Catherine Lemmi; Kimberly Feldman; Nickolaus Ortiz; Maricela Leon – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2025
Ideologies of language and race are deeply connected in the United States. Language practices associated with racially marginalized communities, such as African American Language (AAL) or Spanglish, are often heavily stigmatized. Such stigma is not grounded in empirical research on language, but rather in "raciolinguistic ideologies"…

Bravo González, Paulina; Reiss, Michael J. – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: There is a growing view that 'Big Ideas of science education' are useful for teaching science but there is not much knowledge of how teachers work with them. Purpose: This study explores the conceptualisation and practice of the use of Big Ideas of science education by primary and secondary teachers in Chile. Sample: A total of 63…
