Bor Luen Tang – Journal of Academic Ethics, 2025
Laboratory safety regulations have been traditionally viewed by its learners and practitioners as a matter of law and policy, which simply requires compliance. A compliance mindset tends be passive and dissociates individuals (or even institutions) from the important reasons and principles underlying the safety rules and regulations, leading to…

Ângelo Luís; Fernanda Domingues – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
Bacteria have developed a cell-to-cell communication system called quorum sensing (QS), allowing them to regulate group behavior and synchronize the expression of virulence factors, responsible for increasing their infection capacity and resistance to antimicrobials. Although the control of microbial infections through the inhibition of microbial…

Frédéric Hapiot; Pierre-Edouard Danjou; François Delattre; Solen Josse; Véronique Bonnet – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
The ability to elucidate the structure of organic compounds from their nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), infrared (IR), and mass spectrometry (MS) spectra is an essential skill, particularly for those engaged in the fields of synthetic and analytical organic chemistry. Spectral analysis constitutes a fundamental component of the curriculum for all…

Angela S. Kelling; Nicholas J. Kelling – Teaching of Psychology, 2025
Background: Given the increased emphasis on active learning in psychology, it is important to use data to enhance these experiences. In learning courses, both live animals and virtual training laboratories have been found to enhance learning, but less research has examined student preferences. Generally, live rats are preferred, but students may…

Hendra Y. Agustian; Bente Gammelgaard; Muhammad Aswin Rangkuti; Jonas Niemann – Science Education, 2025
Affect and emotions matter to science learning. They also matter because they are integral to science identity formation and sense of belonging. This study aims to foreground the epistemic and affective character of laboratory work in higher science education by conceptualizing it as epistemic practice, in which students activate their body and…
