Trans* and genderqueer student retention and liberation is integral for equity in undergraduate education. While STEM leadership calls for data-supported systemic change, the erasure and othering of trans* and genderqueer identities in STEM research perpetuates cisnormative narratives. We sought to characterize how sex and gender data are…

Natalya St. Clair; A. Lynn Stephens; Hee-Sun Lee – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
This case study examines how material resistance (limitations posed by the physical world) and graph interpretation intersected during a high school biology investigation using digital sensors. We use an extended episode from a small group to illustrate how, in an inquiry-based unit, measuring near the resolution limit of a sensor caused scaling…

Cernat, Alexandru; Sakshaug, Joseph W.; Chandola, Tarani; Nazroo, James; Shlomo, Natalie – International Journal of Social Research Methodology, 2021
Collecting biological data in representative surveys is becoming more common due to their potential to inform research and policy. Nevertheless, using nurses to collect these data can lead to unintended effects. In this paper, we investigate how nurses influence the non-response process by looking at five waves of data coming from two surveys in…

Hilliker, Angela K.; Grayson, Kristine L. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
As biologists accumulate or encounter increasingly large and complex data sets, our field creates the need for students to develop skills in data exploration and visualization. Many biology courses lack the time for students to develop the skills needed to parse complex datasets and visualize them appropriately. We developed a new upper-level…

The aim of this study is to compare the master's (MA) theses in Türkiye (TR) and Finland (FIN) published between 2015-2019. A total of 765 theses were analysed in terms of year, discipline, methodological approach, research method, didactic foci, data collection tool, target group, and sample size. The results showed that FIN theses grounded on…

Calver, Michael; Fletcher, Douglas – American Biology Teacher, 2020
Data collected in many biology laboratory classes are on ratio or interval scales where the size interval between adjacent units on the scale is constant, which is a critical requirement for analysis with parametric statistics such as t-tests or analysis of variance. In other cases, such as ratings of disease or behavior, data are collected on…

This study provides an overview of the didactic focus areas in educational research in biology, chemistry and physics, seeking to identify the focus areas that are investigated frequently and those that have been studied rarely or not at all. We applied the didactic focus-based categorization analysis method (DFCM), which is based on an extension…

Daoud, Abdel; Nordheim, Erik V.; McGee, Seth A.; Harris, Michelle A. – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2022
The California Blackworm ("Lumbriculus variegatus") is a freshwater segmented worm species that has been used by biology instructors as a model system for inquiry-based student investigations. The blackworm dorsal blood vessel pulsation rate is easily quantified. Moreover, this species can facilitate the study of neuromuscular…

Hardy, Lisa; Dixon, Colin; Hsi, Sherry – Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2020
This paper contributes a theoretical framework informed by historical, philosophical and ethnographic studies of science practice to argue that data should be considered to be actively produced, rather than passively collected. We further argue that traditional school science laboratory investigations misconstrue the nature of data and overly…

Dam, M.; Janssen, F. J. J. M.; van Driel, J. H. – Professional Development in Education, 2020
In recent years, the use of student data has become increasingly concerned with management of teacher performance. However, when teachers become aware of specific student data directly related to their approach of teaching, it could inform them about possible strengths, weaknesses or challenges. Unfortunately, teachers generally have little time…

Gartner, Tracy B.; Thomas, Carolyn L.; Geedey, Kevin; Bjorgo-Thorne, Kim; Simmons, Jeffrey A.; Shea, Kathleen L.; Dosch, Jerald J.; Zimmermann, Craig R. – American Biology Teacher, 2020
Increasingly, undergraduate institutions are incorporating original research into the curriculum as a matter of best practice. However, while the practice of science has grown more collaborative, undergraduate research has remained largely confined to single-institution studies. Incorporating long-term, distributed research projects into the…

National efforts to improve equitable teaching practices in biology education have led to an increase in research on the barriers to student participation and performance, as well as solutions for overcoming these barriers. Fewer studies have examined the extent to which the resulting data trends and effective strategies are generalizable across…

In efforts to increase scientific literacy and enhance the preparation of learners to pursue careers in science, there are growing opportunities for students and teachers to engage in scientific research experiences, including course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs), undergraduate research experiences (UREs), and teacher research…

Prinster, Andrew J.; Hoskins, Josephina L.; Strode, Paul K. – American Biology Teacher, 2019
Students learning the skills of science benefit from opportunities to move between the scientific problems and questions they confront and the mathematical tools available to answer the questions and solve the problems. Indeed, students learn science best when they are actively engaged in pursuing answers to authentic and relevant questions. We…

Beigman Klebanov, Beata; Priniski, Stacy; Burstein, Jill; Gyawali, Binod; Harackiewicz, Judith; Thoman, Dustin – Grantee Submission, 2018
Collection and analysis of students' writing samples on a large scale is a part of the research agenda of the emerging writing analytics community that promises to deliver an unprecedented insight into characteristics of student writing. Yet with a large scale often comes variability of contexts in which the samples were produced--different…
