Weatherton, Maryrose; Schussler, Elisabeth E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Research in science education often has the goal of enhancing student success, yet there is a dearth of literature related to how students define success for themselves. In this study, we explored how 10 life science graduate students defined the term "success," as well as their experiences related to success. Using interpretive…

Poolman, Toryn M.; Townsend-Nicholson, Andrea; Cain, Amanda – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
The final year of a biochemistry degree is usually a time to experience research. However, laboratory-based research projects were not possible during COVID-19. Instead, we used open datasets to provide computational research projects in metagenomics to biochemistry undergraduates (80 students with limited computing experience). We aimed to give…

Friedman, Alon – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
The R programming language and computing environment is a powerful and common platform used by life science researchers and educators for the analysis of big data. One of the benefits of using R in this context is its ability to visualize the results. Using R to generate visualizations has gained in popularity due to the increased number of R…

Gin, Logan E.; Pais, Danielle; Cooper, Katelyn M.; Brownell, Sara E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Individuals with disabilities are underrepresented in postsecondary science education and in science careers, yet few studies have explored why this may be. A primary predictor of student persistence in science is participating in undergraduate research. However, it is unclear to what extent students with disabilities are participating in research…

David B. Knight; Dustin M. Grote; Timothy J. Kinoshita; Maura Borrego – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2024
Whether doctoral students are funded primarily by fellowships, research assistantships, or teaching assistantships impacts their degree completion, time to degree, learning outcomes, and short- and long-term career outcomes. Variations in funding patterns have been studied at the broad field level but not comparing engineering sub-disciplines. We…

David Esparza; Aimeé A. Hernández-Gaytan; Jeffrey T. Olimpo – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
While several studies have investigated gender inequities in the social learning environment of biology lecture courses, that same phenomenon remains largely unexplored in biology laboratory contexts. We conducted a mixed methods study to understand the influence of gender on student perceptions of their peers' research aptitude in introductory…

Rasmussen, Ashelee – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This Doctor of Arts dissertation addresses the use of drawing as a tool to facilitate life science education and research. The literature review addresses frameworks of drawing-to-learn and Professional Vision which guided the design and implementation of the research and education experiences. A result of this dissertation work is a manuscript…

Carly A. Busch; Erika M. Nadile; Tasneem F. Mohammed; Logan E. Gin; Sara E. Brownell; Katelyn M. Cooper – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Articulating the rules, roles, and values that are expected of undergraduate researchers is important as we strive to create a more accessible path into the scientific community. Rules refer to skills required of scientists, roles refer to behaviors consistent with the expectations of a scientist, and values refer to beliefs of the scientific…

Shibayama, Sotaro – Higher Education Quarterly, 2022
Producing original knowledge is the foundation of scientific progress. Originality is associated with certain skills and practices that can be trained and socialised. This study investigates how inbreeding as a career practice influences the socialisation of originality. An analysis based on a sample of mid-career life scientists in Japan finds…

Foresto, Emiliano; Nievas, Fiorela; Giordano, Walter; Bogino, Pablo – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Despite the growing importance of agricultural microbiology at the applied, productive and ecological levels, undergraduate degrees in Agronomy generally do not feature much microbiological experimentation. To address this deficiency, we have designed an experimental programme that evaluates the potential of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria…

Kobayashi, Sofie; Berge, Maria – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
We explore how norms of science are given attention through laughter in life science doctoral supervision. Four supervision sessions were observed and video recorded. All laugh units were identified, and instances of humour were coded in relation to norms of science. Our analysis reveals tensions around how to do valid research, governance vs.…

Quang, Ngo Khoa – Physics Teacher, 2021
In this study, we describe a method to employ a conventional compound light microscope, usually available in laboratories, to obtain fluorescence. In particular, two pieces of colored acrylic plastic were utilized to assist the microscope in filter performance. We also attempted to examine the applicability of the setup by staining onion cells…

Mihasan, Marius – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
The structure and function of biomolecules relationship is the hallmark of biochemistry, molecular biology, and life sciences in general. Physical models of macromolecules give students the possibility to manipulate these structures in three dimensions, developing a sense of spatiality and a better understanding of key aspects such as atom size…

Norflus, Fran – American Biology Teacher, 2021
This article discusses a variety of open resources that can be used to teach mycology. Many schools may not routinely teach a mycology class -- and if they do, students might not want to invest in a textbook. Options for resale are probably much smaller than with a class in which more students routinely enroll. This article is important in showing…

Lee, Zheng-Wei – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Online learning is implemented in response to emergency remote teaching during global pandemic. We conducted a survey on Life Sciences undergraduate students on their preferences on mode of lesson delivery, mode of learning and learning activities. Students across different study years responded in a similar order ranking blended learning delivery…
