Sally B. Gutierez – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
This exploratory multiple-case study investigated the belief systems (professed and enacted) of four secondary school biology teachers towards teaching through dialogic argumentation. The constant comparison method was used to iteratively assess the qualitative data, which included classroom observations, field notes, transcripts of the formal and…

Gregory J. Crowther; Victoria L. VanHeel; Sasha D. Gradwell; Casey J. Self; Krista L. Rompolski – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
The field of anatomy is often seen by nonanatomists as concerned primarily with the tasks of locating, naming, and describing structures; these tasks, in turn, are often assumed to require only lower-order cognitive skills (LOCSs), i.e., the Knowledge or Comprehension levels of Bloom's taxonomy. Many nonanatomists may thus believe that studying…

Zachary McLeod – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Undergraduate general chemistry courses are often perceived in a negative light by students. Student attitudes towards chemistry play a significant role in their success in chemistry and retention in STEM altogether. Research has shown in K-12 classrooms that care-based instruction strategies can help to improve student attitudes towards…

Zi-Ning Huang; Hsiang-Wei Chen; Chiu-Lin Lai – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
This study explored the impact of interactive e-books on the viewing behaviors of children in science demonstrations at museums. To conduct this study, an interactive e-book on a pendulum experiment was developed and integrated into a physical science demonstration at a museum. Two scientific demonstrations were conducted in this study. The first…

Shiyu Xu; Michael J. Reiss; Wilton Lodge – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
This study introduces a Comprehensive Scientific Creativity Assessment (C-SCA) instrument and empirically tests its reliability and validity. While existing instruments to measure scientific creativity generally focus on a single dimension, such as divergent thinking, the C-SCA incorporates scientific knowledge, motivation in scientific creativity…

Parcerisas, D.; Ballabriga, R.; Amorós, E.; Argudo, A.; Campbell, M.; Casas, L.; Christodoulou, P.; Colomé, R.; Corrons, D.; Curcó, V.; Enajas, M.; Granja, C.; Grauges, E.; Gou, A.; Lleó, E.; Llopart, X.; Pallares, E.; Pino, H.; Serra, S.; Valero, G. – Physics Education, 2022
This paper presents the case for how students can be helped to increase their scientific vocation by experimental work and the introduction of particle physics into pre-university studies. These two ideas are the two main lines of work of the ADMIRA initiative, which has been created by individuals belonging to different and complementary…

Cionti, Carolina; Stucchi, Marta; Meroni, Daniela – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
We here propose a simple and fast hands-on activity requiring limited equipment, to introduce students of various levels (bachelor's or high school) and backgrounds (from science to arts) to the chemistry of color. The different colors of stained glass are replicated through the deposition, on ordinary glass slides, of silica coatings colored by…

Chen, Audrey; Tarapore, Eric; To, Allisen G.; Catolico, Davis M.; Nguyen, Kelly C.; Coleman, Melissa J.; Spence, Rory D. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
Widely used in research laboratories, immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a transferable skill that prepares undergraduate students for a variety of careers in the biomedical field. We have developed an inquiry-based learning IHC laboratory exercise, which introduces students to the theory, procedure, and data interpretation of antibody staining.…

Xiang, Lin; Srinivasan, Madhusudan – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Integrating authentic research practices into introductory laboratory courses to prepare tomorrow's scientists has become increasingly prevalent over the past decade. However, an incomplete understanding of the nature of science (NOS) and authentic scientific inquiry (SI) precludes higher-level learning in undergraduate research experiences. In…

Mageswary Karpudewan; Noor Haslina Daman Huri – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Transforming the chemistry curriculum to an interdisciplinary perspective is essential for preparing students to meet interdisciplinary career demands and to brace themselves for the challenges of complex environmental and health issues. The study introduces four interdisciplinary electrochemistry STEM-lab activities as an alternative to the…

Avsar Erumit, Banu; Yuksel, Tugba – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
Raising scientifically literate citizens has been the main concern of the science education community. Socioscientific issues (SSIs) provide a context to facilitate individuals to expand their epistemic understanding and develop scientific reasoning skills such as evidence-based argumentation and consensus building. In this qualitative research,…

Borish, Victoria; Lewandowski, H. J. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
As quantum information science and technology (QIST) is becoming more prevalent and occurring not only in research labs but also in industry, many educators are considering how best to incorporate learning about quantum mechanics into various levels of education. Although much of the focus has been on quantum concepts in nonlab courses, current…
