Danuta Piróg; Adam Hibszer – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2024
The literature review has clearly indicated that the scale and characteristics of demand for Geography Earth and Environmental Sciences experts across different countries is unknown. Therefore, there is an urgent need to investigate this issue. This paper presents the results of research on the real demand for GEES specialists. In the paper, real…

Agustín Sanguinetti; Silvina M. Rosa; Ana B. Menéndez – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Photosynthesis is the predominant metabolic process for energy obtention in plants. Here we describe a case study where a set of anatomical, biochemical, and molecular characters are used to reconstruct the evolution of the C[subscript 4] photosynthetic pathway, within the evolutionary framework provided by the genus "Flaveria." Our main…

Grant Cooper; Kok-Sing Tang – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2024
The proliferation of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) means we are witnessing transformative change in education. While GenAI offers exciting possibilities for personalised learning and innovative teaching methodologies, its potential for reinforcing biases and perpetuating stereotypes poses ethical and pedagogical concerns. This article…

Doug Lombardi; Gale M. Sinatra; Janelle M. Bailey; Lucas P. Butler – Educational Psychology Review, 2024
Our technological, information-rich society thrives because of scientific thinking. However, a comprehensive theory of the development of scientific thinking remains elusive. Building on previous theoretical and empirical work in conceptual change, the role of credibility and plausibility in evaluating scientific evidence and claims, science…

Jason McCartney – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2024
Science should provide students an accurate and contemporary education on genetic influence, particularly how it impacts trait variability and developmental norms. Stories involving familial, racial, and sexual differences routinely appear in the popular media and sales of over-the-counter genetic tests are mounting. Unfortunately, research…

Travis Weiland; Immanuel Williams – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
In this article, we consider how to make data more meaningful to students through the choice of data and the activities we use them in drawing upon students lived experiences more in the teaching of statistics and data science courses. In translating scholarship around culturally relevant pedagogy from the fields of education and mathematics…

Adam E. Green; Roger E. Beaty; Yoed N. Kenett; James C. Kaufman – Creativity Research Journal, 2024
The "standard" definition of creativity as novel and useful describes creative products, but creativity is constituted by processes. This misalignment contributes to the oft-noted challenges of operationalizing creativity. Here, we distinguish creativity as a process from creativity as an attribute (i.e. "creative-ness").…

Zach Lang; Ronnie Olesker – Journal of Political Science Education, 2024
Since first airing on HBO in 2011, "Game of Thrones" (GOT) has proven to be a fruitful text for teaching and studying politics. In 2022 the prequal to GOT-House of The Dragon (HOTD) debuted on HBO. This paper conducts discourse analysis on the entire first season with two goals in mind. First, we demonstrate how pop culture is impacted…

Jonathan Parker – Journal of Political Science Education, 2024
The rise in populism and movements that threaten trust in science and expertise has been labeled a post-truth world. What challenges does this environment present for higher education, and how should it respond? This article examines the characteristics of a post-truth world and how that challenges the fundamental purposes of higher education. It…

Judy Wynekoop; Kazuo Nakatani – Industry and Higher Education, 2024
Critical thinking has been identified as a key ability in most professions, yet employers find college graduates deficient in critical thinking skills. Research on the effect of college on students' critical thinking ability has been contradictory. This study empirically examines the impact of the immersion approach to teach critical thinking used…

Aino Ukkonen; Aman Yadav; Katarina Pajchel; Constantinos Xenofontos – Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, 2024
Computational thinking (CT) is increasingly integrated into education, promoting problem-solving skills essential for the 21st century. However, little is known about how teachers assess CT in K-12 classrooms. This qualitative study explores elementary teachers' approaches to CT assessment after professional development in integrating CT into core…

KatieMarie Q. Magnone; Ellen J. Yezierski – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Aqueous solutions have proved to be a challenging topic for chemistry students at all levels. An understanding of what is happening at the molecular level in aqueous processes such as dissolution is key to understanding the macroscopic properties of the system as well as to communicating fluently with chemical symbols. In this study, we examined…

DeGlopper, Kimberly S.; Russ, Rosemary S.; Sutar, Prayas K.; Stowe, Ryan L. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Compelling evidence, from multiple levels of schooling, suggests that teachers' knowledge and beliefs about knowledge, knowing, and learning ("i.e.," epistemologies) play a strong role in shaping their approaches to teaching and learning. Given the importance of epistemologies in science teaching, we as researchers must pay careful…

Phillips, A. M.; Gouvea, E. J.; Gravel, B. E.; Beachemin, P. -H.; Atherton, T. J. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Computation is intertwined with essentially all aspects of physics research and is invaluable for physicists' careers. Despite its disciplinary importance, integration of computation into physics education remains a challenge and, moreover, has tended to be constructed narrowly as a route to solving physics problems. Here, we broaden Physics…
