Education is undergoing critical transformations driven by innovations in remote experimentation and learning analytics. As technology reshapes how we teach and learn, remote experimentation allows students to conduct hands-on, interactive experiments from anywhere in the world, breaking down geographical and resource-based barriers. This shift…

Sangeeta Nischal; Maria Zulema Cabail; Kinning Poon – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the stay-at-home order implemented by the New York State Governor, the introductory undergraduate biology courses were changed to an at-home remote learning modality. To provide conceptual learning and hands-on experience, the second semester introductory biology laboratory course utilised a multi-modal learning…

Barthet, Michelle M. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
COVID-19 has changed about every aspect of life including how we teach in higher education. Laboratory experiments vital for learning hands-on techniques are limited due to social distancing requirements and increased numbers of distance-learning students. The solution to loss of hands-on activities has been to compensate with virtual laboratory…

Davis, Eric J.; Breno, Kerry L.; Ojennus, Deanna Dahlke; Russell, Trisha A.; Stevens, Karen E.; Wheeler, Kraig – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the mass shutdown of universities across the United States in the spring of 2020. As the pandemic progressed, regional regulations resulted in a broad range of teaching modalities for the 2020-2021 academic year. While some regions remained tightly locked down (resulting in online-only instruction), others allowed…

Jing Zhang; Heejeong Kim; Limei Zhang – Discover Education, 2023
The COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on higher education worldwide. In-person courses had to be quickly transited to online, including lab courses embedded with Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs). In response to this challenge, we successfully converted a fully in-person biochemistry lab that integrated with a…

Wu, Nancy; Hall, Ariana O.; Phadke, Sameer; Zurcher, Danielle M.; Wallace, Rachel L.; Castañeda, Carol Ann; McNeil, Anne J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Introductory-level laboratory courses provide students with hands-on experience using the discipline's tools and theories. These courses often rely on recipe-based experiments due to the constraints of large enrollments, short lab periods, and the desire to minimize complexity. In addition, covering a breadth of topics can lead to a fragmented…

Australian and New Zealand universities commenced a new academic year in February/March 2020 largely with "business as usual." The subsequent Covid-19 pandemic imposed unexpected disruptions to anatomical educational practice. Rapid change occurred due to government-imposed physical distancing regulations from March 2020 that…

Khaled, Anne; Gulikers, Judith; Biemans, Harm; Mulder, Martin – Studies in Continuing Education, 2016
For many decades, teacher-structured hands-on simulations have been used in education mainly for developing procedural and technical skills. Stimulating contemporary learning outcomes suggests more constructivist approaches. The aim of this study is to examine how self-regulated learning (SRL), an important constructivist learning environment…

Kapanadze, Marika; Eilks, Ingo – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2014
After the collapse of the former Soviet Union, many Central and Eastern European countries underwent significant change in their political and educational systems, among them Georgia and Moldova. Reforms in education sought to overcome the highly centralized educational system of the former Soviet Union as well as to conquer the teacher-centred…

Wilson, Rachel E.; Kittleson, Julie – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2013
As colleges and universities aim for greater diversity in their undergraduate populations, one population researchers consider is first-generation students, or students whose parents do not have a college education. The research reported here addresses first-generation college students' discipline of study (e.g., biology) and its impact on…

In 2004, a group of engineering and education faculty at Virginia Tech received a major curriculum reform and engineering education research grant under the department-level reform (DLR) program of the NSF. This DLR project laid the foundation of sponsored research in engineering education in the Department of Engineering Education. The DLR…
