Lilya Vany Wisma Widiana; Baskoro Adi Prayitno; Bowo Sugiharto – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2024
Development of scientific explanation abilities in students is an important aspect in science education. However, traditional learning methods such as textbooks and PowerPoint presentations are often less effective in improving skills due to lack of student interactivity and involvement in the learning process. This study aimed to analyze the…

Wanda M. Valsecchi; Jose M. Delfino; Javier Santos; Santiago E. Faraj – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
When teaching STEM courses, it is important to introduce state-of-the-art techniques. Students need to learn how to conduct experiments, analyse data and choose the most effective approaches to address meaningful situations. Here we present the assessment of the implementation of a structured inquiry-based activity aimed at teaching students about…

Stuart, Michael T. – Science & Education, 2019
Imagination is necessary for scientific practice, yet there are no in vivo sociological studies on the ways that imagination is taught, thought of, or evaluated by scientists. This article begins to remedy this by presenting the results of a qualitative study performed on two systems biology laboratories. I found that the more advanced a…

Sunita G. Chowrira; Karen M. Smith; Patrick J. Dubois; Ido Roll – npj Science of Learning, 2019
Students in first-year university courses often focus on mimicking application of taught procedures and fail to gain adequate conceptual understanding. One potential approach to support meaningful learning is Productive Failure (PF). In PF, the conventional instruction process is reversed so that learners attempt to solve challenging problems…

Ichsan, Ilmi Zajuli; Hasanah, Risky; Ristanto, Rizhal Hendi; Rusdi, Rusdi; Cahapay, Michael Bobias; Widiyawati, Yeni; Rahman, Md. Mehadi – Online Submission, 2020
Science learning in the 21st century should develop the abilities of the students to find solutions to the problems. This task requires a set of skills called Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) and innovative assessment should be designed to gauge the acquisition of these skills. Thus, this study aimed to create an innovative HOTS-based…

Supriyatin; Aulya, Nailul Rahmi; Ichsan, Ilmi Zajuli; Rahman, Md. Mehadi; Gomes, Paulo Weslem Portal – Online Submission, 2020
Biology learning, especially the topic of plant physiology, requires Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS). This ability needs to be improved with HOTS based teaching materials. The teaching materials, however, have not been developed, especially those in plant physiology topic. Students' HOTS in biology learning still requires an improvement as…

Sanchez-Muñoz, Raul; Carrió, Mar; Rodríguez, Gemma; Pérez, Nora; Moyano, Elisabeth – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
The professional profiles of future scientists need to undergo a deep and rapid change to address recent advances in biomedical sciences and the social and environmental contexts in which we currently live. For instance, they have to be trained to be able to develop innovative and creative strategies for solving complex problems under a…

Prinster, Andrew J.; Hoskins, Josephina L.; Strode, Paul K. – American Biology Teacher, 2019
Students learning the skills of science benefit from opportunities to move between the scientific problems and questions they confront and the mathematical tools available to answer the questions and solve the problems. Indeed, students learn science best when they are actively engaged in pursuing answers to authentic and relevant questions. We…

Cormas, Peter C. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2017
Preservice teachers in six sections (n = 87) of a sequenced, methodological and process-integrated elementary mathematics/science methods course were able to reconcile an issue centered on a similar area of epistemology. Preservice teachers participated in a science inquiry lesson on biological classification and a mathematics problem-solving…

Cooper, Robert A. – American Biology Teacher, 2015
This paper presents an activity that engages students in model-based reasoning, requiring them to predict the behavior of the trp and lac operons under different environmental conditions. Students are presented six scenarios for the "trp" operon and five for the "lac" operon. In most of the scenarios, specific mutations have…

Kragten, Marco; Admiraal, Wilfried; Rijlaarsdam, Gert – Journal of Biological Education, 2015
Process diagrams are important tools in biology for explaining processes such as protein synthesis, compound cycles and the like. The aim of the present study was to measure the ability to solve process-diagram problems in biology and its relationship with prior knowledge, spatial ability and working memory. For this purpose, we developed a test…

Kim, H. S.; Prevost, L.; Lemons, P. P. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2015
The understanding of core concepts and processes of science in solving problems is important to successful learning in biology. We have designed and developed a Web-based, self-directed tutorial program, "SOLVEIT," that provides various scaffolds (e.g., prompts, expert models, visual guidance) to help college students enhance their…
