Cirkony, Connie; Kenny, John; Zandvliet, David – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2023
Worldwide, education jurisdictions are looking for authentic ways to address First Nations perspectives in the K-12 curriculum, including science education. At the same time, there have been ongoing efforts to integrate authentic and engaging approaches to teaching science, including those that are student-centred, inquiry-based, multimodal, and…

Pengfei Li; Boya Zhang; Shuaifei He; Yuqing Lu; Wenli Jiang; Qingsong Zhong; Shu Quan; Haizhen Wu; Mian Zhou – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Both lecture and laboratory courses of biochemistry are important professional courses for undergraduates with biology related majors. Course optimization and update is crucial but challenging, especially for the laboratory course. Although taught separately, here we showed a strategy to bridge the two courses and promote the improvement of both.…

Rheanna E. Walther; Michael Hrabak; Douglas A. Bernstein – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
Molecular biology, broadly defined as the investigation of complex biomolecules in the laboratory, is a rapidly advancing field and as such the technologies available to investigators are constantly evolving. This constant advancement has obvious advantages because it allows students and researchers to perform more complex experiments in shorter…

Koblischka, Michael R.; Koblischka-Veneva, Anjela – Physics Education, 2022
Several properties of Earth's magnetic field (field vectors, time dependence) are measured in various locations using a smartphone/tablet magnetic sensor. To enable a proper use of the magnetic sensor as a classroom tool, the exact location of the sensor in the device and its resolution must be identified in a first step. Then, students may…

Smith, Emma – Primary Science, 2021
In 2014, the latest iteration of the National Curriculum for England came into play. It provided more challenging, but slimmed down, content and concentrated on building essential knowledge and skills. A great start, but the fact remains that teaching today is as complex as ever, equipping youth for a future they do not yet know and for jobs that…

Heather McMaster – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2023
According to the author, the "Australian Curriculum: Mathematics (AC:M) requires primary school students to measure the attributes of angle, time, temperature, length, area, capacity and mass. This article outlines some misconceptions held by primary school students which appear to stem from them not understanding terminology concerning the…

Nicola Broderick – Irish Educational Studies, 2025
This discussion paper focuses on the purpose of, and vision for, Irish primary science education prior to the redevelopment and publication of the primary science curriculum in 2024. Scientific literacy is broadly accepted as the goal of science education. Despite this, curricular analysis focusing on scientific literacy in Europe is scarce. There…

Imad, Mays – Liberal Education, 2019
Author Mays Imad, who is a neuroscientist, writes that throughout her teaching career she has watched talented, creative, high-potential students walk away from the sciences because they feel that the STEM curriculum lacks ethical, political, and creative significance. One of her students wrote to her, "Life is hard and the world feels drab…

Jamie K. Opper – Teaching of Psychology, 2025
Introduction: As higher education continues to prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), cognitive/behavioral neuroscience and other physiologically based psychology courses may face challenges incorporating DEI issues into the curriculum relative to other subfields of psychology. Statement of the Problem: Instructors of these courses may…

Guron, Marta; Slentz, Alexis E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Approaching elective courses and courses on special topics in Chemistry can seem daunting at times, given the varied backgrounds of the students, together with the broad nature of topics. Often, institutions may give incentives for creating sustainability related course offerings, but knowing where to start and how to organize the information…

Moore, A. M.; Fullick, A. – School Science Review, 2022
The "Evolving 5-19 Biology" report (RSB, 2021) presents eight key recommendations and a framework for the development of biology curricula for ages 5-19. The framework proposes organising the curriculum in 23 coherent themes that form learning progression pathways. These pathways build answers to seven 'big questions' related to big…

Peltier, Corey; Garwood, Justin D.; McKenna, John; Peltier, Tiffany; Sendra, Jesse – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2021
This article will discuss ways to use self-regulated strategy development for argumentative writing across content areas. The goal of self-regulated strategy development is for students to generalize the use of the strategy across settings, allowing them to become fluent and proficient writers in all areas. In addition, the generalization of the…
