Susanne Wimmelmann; Kerrin Riewerts; Constanze Saunders; Susanne Haberstroh – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2024
Research-based learning (RBL) has been discussed in German higher education teaching and learning since the end of 1960s, having found a revival in the 2000s with considerable federal funding which enabled a creation of a variety of RBL-formats at many universities across disciplines. Within this dynamic development, both the Standing Group on RBL…

Susan Poland – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The field of science education has long advocated for students to leave K-12 education with an appreciation for the diversity of research methods scientists employ in order to effectively engage with research generated across many scientific fields of study. Yet, research has indicated that students typically believe research proceeds according to…

Emily M. Stump; Mark Hughes; N. G. Holmes; Gina Passante – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Previous research on student thinking about experimental measurement and uncertainty has primarily focused on students' procedural reasoning: Given some data, what should students calculate or do next? This approach, however, cannot tell us what beliefs or conceptual understanding leads to students' procedural decisions. To explore this…

A. C. Cooper; J. B. Osness; S. D. Hester; M. S. Bolger – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2024
Undergraduate laboratory courses can provide opportunities for students to participate in science practices. This requires rethinking both curricula and instruction. Science practice--based courses require students to be positioned as epistemic agents, implying a shift in instructor role. Teaching assistants (TAs) are the primary instructors for…
