Feyzioglu, Burak; Demirdag, Baris; Akyildiz, Murat; Altun, Eralp – Educational Sciences: Theory and Practice, 2012
Science process skills are claimed to enable an individual to improve their own life visions and give a scientific view/literacy as a standard of their understanding about the nature of science. The main purpose of this study was to develop a test for measuring a valid, reliable and practical test for Science Process Skills (SPS) in secondary…

Millar, Thomas James; Knighton, Ronald; Chuck, Jo-Anne – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2012
Immunological detection of proteins is an essential method to demonstrate to undergraduate biology students, however, is often difficult in resource and time poor student laboratory sessions. This method describes a failsafe method to rapidly and economically demonstrate this technique using biotinylated proteins or biotin itself as targets for…

Prasad, Prascilla; Turner, Mark S. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2011
This open-ended practical series titled "Molecular Identification of Unknown Food Bacteria" which extended over a 6-week period was designed with the aims of giving students an opportunity to gain an understanding of naturally occurring food bacteria and skills in contemporary molecular methods using real food samples. The students first isolated…

Albright, Catherine J.; Hall, David J. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2011
Human rhinovirus (HRV) is one of the most common human respiratory pathogens and is responsible for the majority of upper respiratory illnesses. Recently, a phylogeny was constructed from all known American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) HRV sequences. From this study, three HRV classifications (HRVA, HRVB, and HRVC) were determined and techniques…

Roll, Ido; Holmes, Natasha G.; Day, James; Bonn, Doug – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2012
Invention and Productive Failure activities ask students to generate methods that capture the important properties of some given data (e.g., uncertainty) before being taught the expert solution. Invention and Productive Failure activities are a class of scientific inquiry activities in that students create, implement, and evaluate mathematical…

Psycharis, Sarantos – Computers & Education, 2011
Contemporary instructional approaches expect students to be active producers of knowledge. This leads to the need for creation of instructional tools and tasks that can offer students opportunities for active learning. This study examines the effect of a computational experiment as an instructional tool-for Grade 12 students, using a computer…

Lynch, Kathy; Barr, Nigel; Oprescu, Florin – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2012
Paramedic students need to acquire knowledge and skills necessary to perform basic as well as complex clinical skills, to ensure patient safety, and to manage sophisticated equipment. Time and resource pressures on students, teaching staff and institutions have led health professional educators to develop and embrace alternative opportunities such…

Bottomley, Steven; Denny, Paul – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2011
A participatory learning approach, combined with both a traditional and a competitive assessment, was used to motivate students and promote a deep approach to learning biochemistry. Students were challenged to research, author, and explain their own multiple-choice questions (MCQs). They were also required to answer, evaluate, and discuss MCQs…

Thomas, Michael K.; Ge, Xun; Greene, Barbara A. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2011
This study used technology-rich ethnography (TRE) to examine the use of game development in a high school computer programming class for the development of 21st century skills. High school students created games for elementary school students while obtaining formative feedback from their younger clients. Our experience suggests that in the…

Braught, Grant; Wahls, Tim; Eby, L. Marlin – ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2011
Previous studies indicate that the use of pair programming has beneficial effects on student learning. In this article, we present a controlled study that directly measured students' acquisition of individual programming skills using laboratory practice (in which students programmed individually under exam conditions). Additionally, we analyzed…

Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning, 2010
California's public schools have struggled since the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978, and today face enormous challenges to try to regain lost quality and standing as a national education leader. In light of the current economic crisis, competition for limited resources is fierce and the pressure is on to eliminate all but the basic "Three…
