Deborah Hanuscin; Emily Borda; Josie Melton; Jamie N. Mikeska – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
Research on teacher educators' professional learning has gained increasing interest within science education. Curriculum materials have been suggested as a means of supporting "teacher" learning for several decades but have not yet been examined as a potential tool for supporting the learning of "teacher educators." In this…

Vincent Natalis; Bernard Leyh – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2025
Entropy and the second law of thermodynamics have long been identified as difficult concepts to teach in the physical chemistry curriculum. Their highly abstract nature, mathematical complexity and emergent nature underscore the necessity to better link classical thermodynamics and statistical thermodynamics. The objectives of this systematic…

Valeria Edelsztein; Claudio Cormick – Science & Education, 2025
In this article, we tackle the phenomenon of what seems to be a misunderstanding between science education theory and philosophy of science--one which does not seem to have received any attention in the literature. While there seems to be a consensus within the realm of science education on limiting or altogether denying the explanatory role of…

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…

Felipe Guerrero; Serena Y. Kuang – Advances in Physiology Education, 2025
The equilibrium potential of an ion species is a crucial concept for medical students, as it is a prerequisite to fully understanding the pathophysiology of K+ imbalances (hyperkalemia and hypokalemia) in clinical practice. However, it remains a challenging concept because current medical physiology textbooks are too simplistic and overlook…

Paolo Bussotti – International Baltic Symposium on Science and Technology Education, 2025
The problem here dealt with concerns physics education, and specifically the concept of force. The idea behind this research is that a historical approach to the teaching of such a notion is of great help for the students to fully understand the meaning of this basic physical magnitude. For, most of scientific concepts can be better grasped by the…

Seul-gi Lee; Buhm Soon Park – Science & Education, 2025
No scientific concept in the twenty-first century has garnered more attention from scholars outside the scientific community than the Anthropocene. Despite the official rejection by the geological community in March 2024 of the proposal for an Anthropocene Epoch as a formal unit of the Geological Time Scale, it is expected to remain an invaluable…

Jacob E. Hansen; Jonathan A. Chickering; Amy J. Sullivan; Zachary E. Stelter – Advances in Physiology Education, 2025
Models that illustrate renal fluid dynamics are scarce within the secondary and postsecondary landscape. This work summarizes the efforts to build a rudimentary model renal corpuscle (MRC) that can be employed in a problem-based learning exercise or demonstration to teach basic principles of renal physiology to secondary students or…

Juan Carlos Vega-Garzón; Duverney Chaverra-Rodriguez – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
The COVID-19 pandemic affected a large range of in-person education activities in Colombia. This created great limitations in academic performance for students with reduced access to communication technologies and deepened the educational gaps in the country. This was particularly true for sciences such as biochemistry. In Colombia, molecular…

Vincent Natalis; Bernard Leyh – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2025
This study explores the challenges faced by tertiary education instructors in teaching thermodynamics, with a specific focus on entropy. This study completes and adds to the current literature by providing self-reported perceptions of difficulty by teachers, which is lacking, compared to students' opinions, in this area of research. Through a…

Christof Keebaugh; Emily Marshman; Chandralekha Singh – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
We discuss how research on student difficulties was used as a guide to develop, validate, and evaluate a Quantum Interactive Learning Tutorial (QuILT) to help students learn how to determine the completely symmetric bosonic or completely antisymmetric fermionic wave function and be able to compare and contrast them from the case when the particles…

Taylor G. Hood; Xuyang He – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
Incorporating forensic applications into chemical education serves as an effective strategy for engaging college students and equipping them with the skills necessary to become valuable in the workforce in relevant fields. For instance, learning how to extract controlled substances from biological specimens in a laboratory course is essential for…

Emre Savas; Aysel Kocakulah – Science Insights Education Frontiers, 2025
This study aims to investigate the effect of the teaching model developed for hot conceptual change on middle school 7th-grade students' understanding of the Nature of Science (NOS) aspects. In this qualitative and exploratory study, activities were carried out with 24 students of two classes in a village school in the South Marmara region using a…

Szergej Capec; Gabriella Capec; Zuzana Mateasikova; Hana Rancova; Jana Petrkova; Jaromir Vachutka; Martin Petrek – Advances in Physiology Education, 2025
A good knowledge of the theoretical foundations of medicine helps students and physicians to better recognize and treat patients with complex medical conditions, including sepsis and septic shock. The article describes the authors' experience in implementing the analysis of sepsis and septic shock using a high-fidelity simulated clinical scenario…

Yang Zhang; Yangping Li; Weiping Hu; Huizhi Bai; Yuanjing Lyu – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2025
Scientific creativity plays an essential role in science education as an advanced cognitive ability that inspires students to solve scientific problems inventively. The cultivation of scientific creativity relies heavily on effective assessment. Typically, human raters manually score scientific creativity using the Consensual Assessment Technique…
