Bo Ding; Ju Wang; Yaxin Mao; Tian Meng; Yumei Luo; Xiaomei Xu; Zhanqing Lv; Mian Zhou; Qiuying Yang – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Fluorescence-related experimental techniques play an important role in biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology. However, fluorescence-related experiments are rarely included in the laboratory courses of most Chinese universities. This is mainly due to the conflict between large class size (50-60 students in one room) and funding/space…

"I Feel Like a Real Chemist Right Now": Epistemic Affect as a Fundamental Driver of Inquiry in the Chemistry Laboratory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
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…
