Wiggins, Benjamin; Jordt, Hannah; Wingert, Kerri – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2020
English language learners are increasingly entering classrooms using student-centered instruction that places a greater emphasis on spoken language. While active learning is beneficial for a range of student outcomes, these practices force language learners to carry a heavy cognitive load in a complex and challenging environment. This experiment…

Rai, Bina; Zhu, Julia Yajuan; Koh, Dawn C-I; Xiaojuan, Khoo; Krishnaswamy, Lakshminarasimhan; Chandramohanadas, Rajesh; Shi, Ong Eng; Leong, Pey Kin – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2020
We carried out a study of an instructional model that integrates flipped classroom with active learning, in-class activities into our biology course, using a mixed methods research design. According to the survey (n = 331), a majority of students found the flipped classroom engaging and helpful for class preparation and scheduling of learning.…

Michael L. Rutledge; Jeffery W. Bonner; Sandra A. Lampley – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2015
To make our general education biology course for nonmajors more relevant and engaging, we recently implemented an instructional approach featuring collaborative, active-learning exercises. The primary point of interest in this study was the impact of the exercises on students' grades, particularly those students who struggle on tests. Expectedly,…

Coleman, Jill S. M.; Mitchell, Melissa – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2014
This article describes the implementation of high-altitude balloon (HAB) research into a variety of undergraduate atmospheric science classes as a means of increasing active student engagement in real-world, problem-solving events. Because high-altitude balloons are capable of reaching heights of 80,000-100,000 ft (24-30 km), they provide a…

Snellman, Erick; Krueger, Jerry A.; Unangst, Edward T. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2006
Military service academies face unique challenges integrating research into the undergraduate curriculum. Like other institutions they have worked hard to implement strategies designed to overcome a range of barriers to student participation in research by creating opportunities in the classroom. To promote research exposure for biology students…
