Andrea Saltelli – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2024
The focus of this case study is the question, 'How can research integrity be taught in higher education?' I will share my experience of teaching this topic over the past three years, organising the various dimensions of research integrity under the broader theme of integrity in science, specifically in terms of norms, functions, and unity. Norms…

Kristin A. Oliver; Victoria Borish; Bethany R. Wilcox; H. J. Lewandowski – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
As quantum technologies transition out of the research lab and into commercial applications, it becomes important to better prepare students to enter this new and evolving workforce. To work toward this goal of preparing physics students for a career in the quantum industry, a senior capstone course called "Quantum Forge" was created at…

Laura A. Meadows; Max Bernard; Kaela Clabaugh-Howell; Jessica Duke; Lani Irvin; Lydia Mayo; Emily A. Holt – College Teaching, 2024
Learner-centered and inclusive and equitable teaching practices aim to promote better learning outcomes for all students. Course syllabi can provide a window into these practices. We adapted an existing rubric to measure inclusiveness and equity-mindedness of syllabi and used an established rubric to assess their learner-centeredness. We then…

Alexis Buzzell; Timothy J. Atherton; Ramón Barthelemy – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
Quantum mechanics is an integral course for physics students. An understanding of quantum concepts is imperative for enrollment in physics graduate programs, participating in research within physics fields, and employment with companies developing quantum technologies. This study analyzes 188 U.S. research-intensive institutions' course catalogs…

Andrea A. Perla; Sara Hollar; Katy Muzikar; Jane M. Liu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The use of primary literature can be an effective way to expose students to the scientific research process. At the same time, primary literature can be intimidating to many students, particularly those with limited exposure to science research. The CREATE (consider, read, elucidate hypotheses, analyze and interpret the data, and think of the next…

Selina Thomas Mkimbili – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
This paper explores the extent to which Biology syllabi are open to students' engagement with and acquisition of critical thinking skills in Tanzania's developing country context. It focuses on the Biology syllabus of Ordinary-level secondary education and that of Advanced-level secondary education. The paper reports the findings of a study whose…

Heather MacDonald; Veronic Bezaire – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Information literacy skills are an important part of research skills for undergraduate science students. This case study presents a novel approach to developing these types of research skills. By deconstructing the research process into separate steps, explicitly defining, and practicing the skills involved, students can progressively develop…

James A. Parejko – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
The current and ongoing challenges brought on by climate change will require future scientists who have hands-on experience using advanced molecular techniques, can work with large data sets, and can make correlations between metadata and microbial diversity. A course-embedded research project can prepare students to answer complex research…

Funkenbusch, LiLu Tian; Rivera-Jiménez, Sindia – Chemical Engineering Education, 2023
The continuous distillation experiment in the Unit Operations Lab was moved to a virtual platform. Students used old data and equipment specifications to simulate the column in Aspen HYSYS. Students experimented without the limitations of existing equipment. For example, they studied the number of trays in the virtual column, something that is…

Teaching biomedical technology is critical for the success of research of both domestic and international postgraduate students (DPSs and IPSs). However, difference in the learning characteristics between the two cohorts as well as appropriate teaching modality remains largely unexplored. In the present work, we studied these issues by recruiting…

Noam Morningstar-Kywi; Denise N. Morris; Rebecca M. Romero; Ian S. Haworth – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling requires an understanding of chemical, physiologic, and pharmacokinetic principles. Active learning with PBPK modeling software (GastroPlus) may be useful to teach these scientific principles while also teaching software operation. To examine this issue, a graduate-level course was designed…

Zeke T. Spooner; Angela M. Encerrado-Manriquez; Tina T. Truong; Sascha C. T. Nicklisch – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
We created a 2-week, dual-module summer course introducing high school students to environmental toxicology by teaching them quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) as a way to quantify gene expression of chemical defense proteins in response to exposure to environmental pollutants. During the course, students are guided through the various…

James, Nicole M. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Course grades are commonly used as an evaluation metric within institutions and as part of education research. However, using grades to compare across course sections may implicitly assume that grades are awarded similarly and consistently. This article details how different sections of the same course offered differing amounts of extra credit and…

Bahng, E. J.; Hauptman, John; Lowery, Jennifer – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
This article describes and illustrates a physics course for first-year college students whose only knowledge of physics is that they do not like the subject. The physics content is driven entirely by what appears in the daily newspapers and generally covers most physics topics in a semester. This course was structured as a learning community that…

Alexis Buzzell; Timothy J. Atherton; Ramón Barthelemy – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection in Investigating and Improving Quantum Education through Research.] The modern physics course is a crucial gateway for physics majors as it provides an introduction to concepts beyond the scope of the K-12 education. This study collected 167 modern physics syllabi from 127 U.S. research-intensive…
