Direct linkVan Dusen, Ben; Nissen, Jayson – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2020
We investigated the intersectional nature of race/racism and gender/sexism in broad scale inequities in physics student learning using a critical quantitative intersectionality. To provide transparency and create a nuanced picture of learning, we problematized the measurement of equity by using two competing operationalizations of equity:…

Oliveira, Alandeom W.; Brown, Adam O. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2016
Although the practice of giving examples is central to the effective teaching and learning of science, it has been the object of little educational research. The present study attends to this issue by systematically examining the exemplification practices of a university professor and his students' learning experiences during a biology lecture on…

Matz, Rebecca L.; Rothman, Edward D.; Krajcik, Joseph S.; Banaszak Holl, Mark M. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2012
Laboratories have been a cornerstone in teaching and learning across multiple scientific disciplines for more than 100 years. At the collegiate level, science laboratories and their corresponding lectures are often offered as separate courses, and students may not be required to concurrently enroll in both. In this study, we provide evidence that…

Peer reviewedGipson, Michael H.; And Others – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1989
Presented is a study in which students' intellectual reasoning development was evaluated following instruction that emphasized formal operations in a traditional lecture format. Results indicated that formal-operational students had significantly more success in the three reasoning areas than transitional students and transitional students had…

Peer reviewedPetrich, James A.; Montague, Earl J. – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 1981
Investigated is the effect of organization and accuracy of detail in instructional aids on the achievement of college students (N=54) in a freshman chemistry lecture course. It is indicated that aids may impede learning by decreasing students' involvement in auditory and semantic encoding during lectures. (Author/DS)

Luft, Julie A.; Kurdziel, Josepha P.; Roehrig, Gillian H.; Turner, Jessica – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2004
Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) in the sciences are a common feature of U.S. universities that have a prominent mission of research. During the past 2 decades, increased attention has been paid to the professional development of GTAs as instructors. As a result, universities have created training programs to assist GTAs in selecting…
