Gervásio, João; Sampaio, Yala; Muniz, Paulo; Yamada, Camila; Felicori, Liza F. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
Learning synthetic biology is often seen as a far distant possibility, restricted to those who have the privilege of an academic career. We propose a student-centered discussion group around synthetic biology, aimed at people from high school onwards with different backgrounds to interact and learn about synthetic biology. We developed a 14-week…

Ayalew, Mentewab; Hylton, Derrick; Sistrunk, Jeticia; Melton, James; Johnson, Kiandra; Voit, Eberhard – PRIMUS, 2022
The integration of biology with mathematics and computer science mandates the training of students capable of comfortably navigating among these fields. We address this formidable pedagogical challenge with the creation of transdisciplinary modules that guide students toward solving realistic problems with methods from different disciplines.…

Hounshell, Alexandria G.; Farrell, Kaitlin J.; Carey, Cayelan C. – Education Sciences, 2021
Ecologists are increasingly using macrosystems approaches to understand population, community, and ecosystem dynamics across interconnected spatial and temporal scales. Consequently, integrating macrosystems skills, including simulation modeling and sensor data analysis, into undergraduate and graduate curricula is needed to train future…

De Haan, David O.; Schafer, Julia A.; Gillette, Eleanor I. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
There is an increasing need for research chemists and biochemists to have a basic familiarity with computer programming. Adding programming content to already crowded STEM undergraduate curricula, however, can be challenging. When programming content is introduced within the chemistry curriculum, it is most often incorporated into upper division…

Christopher J. Panebianco; Madhura P. Nijsure; Erin E. Berlew; Annie L. Jeong; Joel D. Boerckel – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2024
Mechanobiology is an interdisciplinary field that aims to understand how physical forces impact biological systems. Enhancing our knowledge of mechanobiology has become increasingly important for understanding human disease and developing novel therapeutics. There is a societal need to teach diverse students principles of mechanobiology so that we…

Booth, Christine S.; Song, Changsoo; Howell, Michelle E.; Rasquinha, Achilles; Saska, Aleš; Helikar, Resa; Sikich, Sharmin M.; Couch, Brian A.; van Dijk, Karin; Roston, Rebecca L.; Helikar, Tomáš – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Understanding metabolic function requires knowledge of the dynamics, interdependence, and regulation of metabolic networks. However, multiple professional societies have recognized that most undergraduate biochemistry students acquire only a surface-level understanding of metabolism. We hypothesized that guiding students through interactive…

Halim, Abdul; Mahzum, Elmi; Yacob, Muhammad; Irwandi, Irwandi; Halim, Lilia – Education Sciences, 2021
Physics learning in universities utilized the Moodle-based e-learning media as an online learning platform. However, the effectiveness of remediating misconception using online media has not been widely researched. Therefore, this study was set to determine the level of misconception percentage reduction through the use of narrative feedback, the…

DiLisi, Gregory A.; Chaney, Alison; McLean, Stella; Rarick, Richard – Physics Teacher, 2020
Over the past several years, we have contributed several articles to "TPT" that focused on a forensics-style reexamination of historical events. In each article, we presented a case study as a pedagogy for teaching topics from introductory-level physics courses. Recently, we assembled our prior work into a series of…

Esquibel, Joseph; Rook, Deborah L.; LoRe, Sondra M.; Starnes, John H.; Miller, Jillian M.; Buntz, Jennifer G.; Hugo, Alys; Nieuwsma, Christianne B.; Seitz, Heather; Bissell, Ahrash; Gross, Louis; Kiser, Stacey; Lenhart, Suzanne; Mills, Michael A.; Neuhauser, Claudia; Corriette, Irene; Prescott, Sarah; Jenkins, Kristin P.; Karpakakunjaram, Vedham – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Mastery of quantitative skills is increasingly critical for student success in life sciences, but few curricula adequately incorporate quantitative skills. Quantitative Biology at Community Colleges (QB@CC) is designed to address this need by building a grassroots consortium of community college faculty to (1) engage in interdisciplinary…

Lee, Tien Tien; Taha, Hafsah; Sharif, Aisyah Mohamad; Rahim, Nurulsaidah Abdul – Asia-Pacific Forum on Science Learning and Teaching, 2021
Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is a new trend in flexible education due to its flexibility to study anything, anywhere and anytime. It has the potential to attract a huge number of learners to study courses unlimitedly via the online platform. This is a design and development study where a Chemistry MOOC was developed in an OpenLearning…

Moozeh, Kimia; Farmer, Jennifer; Tihanyi, Deborah; Evans, Greg J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Information overload and limited laboratory time usually result in students focusing mostly on procedural tasks to get the results, rather than being engaged with what they are doing. Moreover, traditional laboratory curricula rarely provide students opportunities to repeat experiments. This study presents the design of a web-based application…

Lee, Carole K.; Shea, Marilyn – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2020
This research was conducted on two groups of pre-service elementary teachers (PSETs) (N = 38) in a pre/post within-subjects design. Participants were asked to critique, create, and evaluate the use of virtual reality (VR) classroom applications during a three-stage intervention. Pre/post questionnaires assessed the change in attitudes toward using…

Gilbert, Lisa A.; Gross, Deborah S.; Kreutz, Karl J. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2019
Grand challenges such as energy, water, and food scarcity limit our growing population's ability to live sustainably on Earth. Such complex societal challenges, which interconnect many human and natural systems, will require today's students to apply approaches that go beyond simple cause and effect. To help instructors teach students how to…
