Tecson-Mendoza, Evelyn Mae – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
Mentoring to many is the informal highly unstructured teaching, advising, and nurturing which we receive from various individuals during our school years and professional lives and then give back to our students and more junior colleagues. However, with the advances in science and technology, the increasing competitiveness in the workplace, fast…

Armstrong, Miriam E.; Jones, Keith S.; Namin, Akbar Siami; Newton, David C. – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2020
More specialized cybersecurity education programs are needed to address workforce needs, but it is unclear which knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) fulfil industry needs. We interviewed 48 professionals within four cyber defense specialty areas: (1) Cyber Network Defense Analysis, (2) Cyber Network Defense Infrastructure Support, (3) Incident…

Ghiara, Virginia – Journal of Mixed Methods Research, 2020
In the mixed methods research (MMR) literature, the term paradigm is used in a number of ways to support very different accounts. This article aims to contribute to the ongoing dialogue about the relationship between MMR and paradigms by analyzing two main claims discussed in the literature: (a) MMR is a new paradigm and (b) MMR mixes different…

Giuriato, Rosemary; Štrkalj, Goran; Meyer, Amanda J.; Pather, Nalini – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2020
Human anatomy knowledge is a core requirement for all health care clinicians. There is a paucity of information relating to anatomy content and delivery in Australian chiropractic programs. The aim of this study was to describe anatomy teaching in Australian chiropractic programs, utilizing a survey which was distributed to all four programs,…

V., Shefeeque – Higher Education for the Future, 2020
This article is a discipline-based exploration of the possibilities and prospects of outcome-based education (OBE) in the teaching-learning process of political science at the under graduate level. Developing knowledge-empowered citizenry with critical political consciousness that enables it public policy debates is the key purposes of teaching…

Ju, Young-Gu – Physics Education, 2020
We demonstrated the fabrication of a low-cost and high-resolution papercraft smartphone spectrometer and characterized its performance by recording spectra from gas discharge lamps. The optical design and a lab-made narrow slit used in the fabrication led to fine images of the slit on the image sensor, resulting in high spectral resolution. The…

Young, Charles G.; Volaric, Sioe See – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
This paper describes an upper-division undergraduate exercise involving the synthesis and iodometric and infrared spectroscopic analysis of the peroxide double salt [Zn(NH[subscript 3])[subscript 4]][Mo(O[subscript 2])[subscript 4]]. Here, iodometric methods are employed to determine the peroxide content of the compound, a procedure widely used…

Young, Charles G.; Volaric, Sioe See – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
This paper describes a first-year undergraduate exercise involving the synthesis of an "unknown" polyiodide salt, (NMe[subscript 4])[I[subscript 5]], and the determination of its formula using the classic iodine-thiosulfate (iodometric) titration. The exercise introduces students to simple synthetic and titrimetric techniques, assists…

Sools, Anneke – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2020
This article responds to the call for prospective methodologies in the social sciences by developing a narrative approach to study the imagination of personal futures. The approach encompasses an analytical framework regarding dimensions of projectivity and an elicitation method ("Letters from the Future"). Using an example letter from a…

Hsu, Pi-Sui; Mukhopadhyay, Saurav; Al-Ararah, Rakez – Middle Grades Review, 2020
The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore how middle school science teachers enact the practice of using technology to support collaborative argumentation in their science classroom. This study employs qualitative case study and drew on data sources of interviews and observations. This study identifies two themes. Six teachers regard…

Daemicke, Alexandra K.; Galt, Nicholas J.; Samonds, Karen E.; Bergan-Roller, Heather E. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2020
A central goal of science education is to help students develop higher order thinking skills to enable them to face the challenges of life. Accordingly, science instructors are now urged to craft their classrooms such that they serve as not only spaces for disseminating information, but also an arena through which students are encouraged to think…

Koval'aková, Mária; Kladivová, Mária; Gibová, Zuzana – Physics Teacher, 2020
The acoustic resonance in four glass Helmholtz resonators with diameters of 70, 52, 40, and 32 mm was detected in the frequency range of 360 to 1700 Hz using the simple experimental setup presented in this paper. The measured amplitudes of acoustic pressure required correction since the sound pressure amplitude of the loudspeaker used was not…

Carpenter, Suzanne; Beck, Jason – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Study abroad experiences, relatively rare in chemistry programs and encouraged by the American Chemical Society, are a way to advance the cultural competence of students. We describe a study abroad experience that includes an upper level chemistry course on fermentation. Many articles have described the integration of fermentation into lecture and…

Lincoln, Don – Physics Teacher, 2020
Two well-regarded measurements for the expansion rate of the universe disagree, leaving cosmologists very puzzled. It may be that something large has been overlooked in our theory of the Big Bang. This discrepancy is called the Hubble tension and it has led to a very interesting conversation within the cosmology community.
