Bell, Kathy; Gerrits, Ron; Hood, Suzanne – HAPS Educator, 2021
Community college students come from a variety of backgrounds and have different levels of educational preparedness compared to undergraduates in 4-year undergraduate schools. Historically, retention rates of these students in human physiology courses have been low, often due to non-passing grades. Incorporation of additional active learning…

Xu, Yangting; Chen, Chen; Ji, Ming; Xiang, Yang; Feng, Dandan; Luo, Ziqiang – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
The online flipped classroom (OFC) has emerged as a new teaching method in universities worldwide, which combines asynchronous and synchronous online learning. OFC differs from the traditional flipped classroom as it does not involve face-to-face interaction between teachers and students. Instead, the class meeting is conducted online, and it is…

Orosz, Gábor; Németh, Veronika; Kovács, Lajos; Somogyi, Zoltán; Korom, Erzsébet – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Guided inquiry-based learning has been shown to be a promising method for science education; however, despite its advantages it is rarely used in chemistry teaching in Hungary. One of the reasons for this is the lack of tried-and-tested inquiry-based teaching materials with detailed guides that teachers can readily use in their classrooms. As part…

Riaz, Muhammad; Marcinkowski, Thomas J.; Faisal, Ali – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
This study investigated the effects of Discovery Learning Scientific Community Laboratories (DL-SCL) and traditional non-DLSCL laboratories on students' conceptual understanding in a Physics-1 lab. At many universities, physics programs use a traditional lab style, despite research on the benefits for reform-oriented physics labs. This DL-SCL…

Kacar, Sevinç; Balim, Ali Günay – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2021
This study aimed to determine the effects of the argument-driven inquiry learning method on students' conceptual learning in science education. The study is conducted with embedded mixed-methods research design from mixed research methods. The study was conducted with 64 7th-grade students consisting of 31 students in the experimental group and 33…

Renee Bouley – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
In-class activities that use a collaborative learning approach were developed for a one-semester biochemistry course as a way to achieve higher student engagement. The redesign of this course from a traditional lecture to a format that incorporated a significant active learning component without reducing the amount of content is described. These…

Asem, Elikplimi K.; Rajwa, Bartek – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
This study assessed the impact of an "active learning" strategy employed alone or in combination with traditional lectures on the learning of mammalian physiology by undergraduate students. The study investigated the impact of three teaching strategies, namely (1) traditional lecture, (2) group discussion alone, and (3) combination of…

Metz, Cynthia J.; Metz, Michael J. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic required a shift to online learning that posed particular challenges for the education of dental students. Basic science courses were presented in an online, asynchronous format to facilitate small group rotations through preclinical work. The success of active learning was previously examined in a Dental Physiology course,…

Leontyev, Alexey; Houseknecht, Justin B.; Maloney, Vincent; Muzyka, Jennifer L.; Rossi, Robert; Welder, Catherine O.; Winfield, Leyte – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
This account reports building a community of practice for organic chemistry instructors. With support from Chemistry Collaborations, Workshops, and Communities of Scholars (cCWCS), a group of organic chemistry faculty facilitated multiple workshops to introduce active learning techniques to their colleagues across the country. A Web site,…

Hempel, Byron R.; Kiehlbugh, Kasi; Blowers, Paul – Chemical Engineering Education, 2019
A sophomore core chemical engineering course was co-taught by two different 4 instructors in Spring 2016 and Spring 2017 with approximately 90 students both semesters via an 5 active learning environment in a collaborative learning space. Both instructors were present for 6 almost all lectures and each instructor delivered approximately 50% of the…

Crimmins, Michael T.; Midkiff, Brooke – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Organic Chemistry is a required course for programs in chemistry, biology, and many health science careers. It has historically been considered a highly challenging course with significant failure rates. As with many science disciplines, the teaching of Organic Chemistry has traditionally focused on unstructured exposition-centered delivery of…

Researchers have indicated that the collaborative problem-solving space afforded by the collaborative systems significantly impact the problem-solving process. However, recent investigations into collaborative simulations, which allow a group of students to jointly manipulate a problem in a shared problem space, have yielded divergent results…

Newman, Dina L.; Stefkovich, Megan; Clasen, Catherine; Franzen, Margaret A.; Wright, L. Kate – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2018
The essence of molecular biology education lies in understanding of gene expression, with subtopics including the central dogma processes, such as transcription and translation. While these concepts are core to the discipline, they are also notoriously difficult for students to learn, probably because they cannot be directly observed. While nearly…
