Direct linkLark, Daniel S.; DeYoung, Wendy – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
Critical thinking and scientific communication are common learning objectives in physiology education. However, a lack of realworld application can limit the transfer of these skills to professional settings. For example, health and wellness professionals are often asked to give advice to clients and patients regarding the use of nutritional…

Using Light Stable Isotopes to Assess Stream Food Web Ecology in a General Ecology Laboratory Course
Carroll, Hannah M.; Houston, Derek D.; Ankerstjerne, Suzanne; Wanamaker, Alan D., Jr. – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Stable isotopes in natural materials provide a powerful way to study energy flow in many systems and are widely used in fields such as archaeology, ecology, forensics, geochemistry, geology, oceanography, palaeoecology and palaeoclimatology. Based on the manner in which stable isotopes fractionate in natural systems, they allow scientists to…

Lance, Keith Curry; Maniotes, Leslie K. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2020
In many schools, librarians play a key role in teaching information literacy and inquiry learning. From a survey of Colorado librarians, Keith Curry Lance and Leslie Maniotes learned that librarians who regularly facilitated student-led inquiry activities were also more likely to teach regularly a number of information literacy skills. Librarians…

Chelsea Nagy; Jennifer Balch – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2025
Today's data-driven world requires earth and environmental scientists to have skills at the intersection of domain and data science. These skills are imperative to harness information contained in a growing volume of complex data to solve the world's most pressing environmental challenges. Despite the importance of these skills, Earth and…

Leatherman, Judith L.; Cleveland, Lacy M. – Journal of Biological Education, 2020
The flipped classroom is a teaching innovation in which instructional content is delivered out of the classroom, often via videos, and the class period is used for application of the course material. While the popularity of the flipped classroom is growing exponentially, its benefits have not been extensively studied. In this study we compared…

Tayne, Kelsey – Environmental Education Research, 2022
This qualitative study explores how middle school students in the Western United States participated in a curricular unit that focused on action for socioenvironmental sustainability. Using inductive coding and building on prior research, I examined actions that students took during this sustainability unit and how students talked about action…

Riedl, Ann; Yeung, Fan; Burke, Tina – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Active learning has been shown to improve student learning and engagement in many 4-year institutions; however, large-scale studies on the efficacy of active learning in community colleges are lacking. In this study, we investigate the effects of active learning in a first semester majors' general biology course at a large, suburban community…

Charrettes have a long history of use in medical, architectural, and planning professions. An extensive literature search found little application of the charrette model implemented to advance, support, and identify transdisciplinarity (TD) research, transdisciplinary teaming models (TDM), transdisciplinary learning (TDL) supporting transformative…

Nicotera, Anna; Stuit, David – Thomas B. Fordham Institute, 2017
It is well established that some charter schools do far better than others at educating their students. This variability has profound implications for the children who attend those schools. Yet painful experience shows that rebooting or closing a low-performing school is a drawn-out and excruciating process. This report investigates whether or not…
