Background: The goal of this research was to determine students' perceived self-efficacy in science classes through involving students in expanding disciplinary core idea (DCI) and interdisciplinary core idea (ICI) maps, as a method to visualize knowledge (utilizing mind mapping and concept mapping) to support students to integrate…

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…

Megalakaki, Olga; Crimet, Audrey; Ballenghein, Ugo; Gounden, Yannick – SAGE Open, 2019
We examined how mushroom experts organize and process their knowledge, compared with novices, and which types of arguments they use to process information. Mushroom experts and novices carried out an identification/memorization task, a free recall task, and a matching task. Results showed that experts performed better than novices on all three…

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…

Kylie Rae Franse – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The quality of support provided to students in higher education can have a powerful impact on the student's experience, their perceptions of challenges, and their overall academic success, particularly retaining in and completing their degree. Though many universities create robust services to support undergraduate students, existing literature…

The study aims to determine the effect of socioscientific issues-based activities on the attitudes of primary school teacher candidates' about life science teaching. In this research, 78 primary school teacher candidates (52 females, 26 male) determined by criterion sampling method participated. Attitude Scale of Life Science Teaching was used as…

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…

Cizmas, Emily – Science Teacher, 2021
Ecosystems, interacting systems of biotic and abiotic factors, are a fascinating topic in life science. The "Next Generation Science Standards" (NGSS Lead States 2013) recognize "Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics" (HS-LS2) as one of four overarching ideas in life science that students should understand. Student…

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…

Land, Nicole; Vidotto, Danica – Sport, Education and Society, 2021
This article investigates how particular conceptions of physical development (PD) are enacted in early childhood studies in Toronto, Canada. Following critical childhood studies scholars who emphasize the urgency of re-formulating relationships with taken-for-granted concepts in the field, we argue for a practice of noticing, tracing, naming, and…

Wofford, Annie M.; Griffin, Kimberly A.; Roksa, Josipa – Higher Education: The International Journal of Higher Education Research, 2021
One of the central goals of doctoral programs is to develop independent researchers and scholars who will lead the next generation of knowledge production. Despite extant evidence of inequalities in doctoral education, few studies have closely examined the experiences of first-generation college students who pursue a Ph.D. We examine how…

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…

The transition students face moving from Further Education (FE) to Higher Education (HE) can be a daunting experience. This transition to HE may require a substantial adjustment to a student mindset recognising that they would be responsible for their own learning and their eventual success compared to a FE environment where student learning is…
