Peter Lampert; Peter Pany; Niklas Gericke – Journal of Biological Education, 2025
Sustaining a broad diversity of plants is key for a sustainable future. For instance, providing a variety of flowering plants in urban and agricultural landscapes mitigates the current decline of pollinators and biodiversity in general. Therefore, educating about the diversity of flowering plants has high current relevance for biology and…

Zahra Hasani Yourdshahi; Kajsa Yang Hansen; Linda Borger – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2025
Background: Science skills play a crucial role in fostering economic development and technological innovation, making the enhancement of science education a global priority. Despite the recognized importance of teacher practices in enhancing equitable and effective learning, much of the research on their impact on student outcomes has been…

Zohar Snapir; Galit Karadi; Michal Zion – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
We examined inquiry practices and types of knowledge presented along with paths of logical associations between inquiry questions as part of an open inquiry process. The study analysed high school biology students' scientific summaries of open inquiry processes. We found three paths of logical associations between inquiry questions -- preliminary…

Christopher J. Panebianco; Madhura P. Nijsure; Erin E. Berlew; Annie L. Jeong; Joel D. Boerckel – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2024
Mechanobiology is an interdisciplinary field that aims to understand how physical forces impact biological systems. Enhancing our knowledge of mechanobiology has become increasingly important for understanding human disease and developing novel therapeutics. There is a societal need to teach diverse students principles of mechanobiology so that we…

Luwoye, Akindeyi; Bello, Ganiyu; Adeoye, Gabriel Ademakinwa – Journal of Learning for Development, 2021
This study investigated the influence of the demo kit on remediating misconceptions held by senior school students in mitosis and meiosis. The quasi-experimental design of the pre-test, post-test, non-equivalent control group was adopted for the study. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 60 male and female biology students from two…

Chan, Kennedy Kam Ho; West-Pratt, Jordan; Ng, Richard Chi Keung – American Biology Teacher, 2021
Students need procedural understanding--that is, knowledge of the procedures that scientists use to establish scientific evidence (also known as "concepts of evidence"), to successfully perform scientific investigations, and to evaluate public and scientific claims. However, concepts of evidence are seldom explicitly targeted in routine…

Lorusso, Nicholas S.; Shumskaya, Maria – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
Suspended on-site instruction during the COVID-19 created an exceptional challenge for teaching hands-on laboratory classes. We designed an online laboratory activity using computational biology techniques to overcome this issue. This set of online exercises introduces bioinformatics skills into existing curricula in the form of guided tutorials…

Souders, Hannah – Science Teacher, 2018
Protein synthesis, involving such abstract concepts as "DNA," "RNA," "transcription," and "translation," is one of many biological processes too small to be seen by the naked eye. This combination of scientific jargon and sub-microscopic elements can make biology seem overwhelming to any student--but…

Holubova, R. – Physics Education, 2018
The aim of the paper is the presentation of an interdisciplinary topic that allows applying content knowledge in physics, mathematics and biology in real life environment. Students use to play games and view crime scenes but in common they have little knowledge about the science used during crime scene investigation. In this paper the science…

Laukens, Kris; Eyckmans, Marleen; De Neuter, Nicolas; Naulaerts, Stefan; Meysman, Pieter; Van Ostade, Xaveer – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
While computational biology and bioinformatics became an inherent part of most life science degrees, it remains challenging to encourage students to employ these diverse skills in a practical research context. In this education paper, we present a method to enable students to acquire hands-on skills by the data-driven study of complex biomolecular…

Schwarz, Gunnar; Frenzel, Wolfgang; Richter, Wolfgang M.; Ta¨uscher, Lothar; Kubsch, Georg – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
This paper presents the course of events of a five-day summer camp on environmental chemistry with high emphasis on chemical analysis. The annual camp was optional and open for students of all disciplines and levels. The duration of the summer camp was five and a half days in the Feldberg Lake District in northeast Germany (federal state of…

Gonzalez, Beatriz – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2016
The author discusses an Introduction to Biology course they created. The course was designed by following the recommendations from the Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology Education: A Call to Action report, which stresses the need for engaging students through hands-on and student-centered activities. In the course, students perform…

Kao, Robert M. – American Biology Teacher, 2014
A major challenge in teaching organ development and disease is deconstructing a complex choreography of molecular and cellular changes over time into a linear stepwise process for students. As an entry toward learning developmental concepts, I propose two inexpensive hands-on activities to help facilitate learning of (1) how to identify defects in…
