Saeed Salimpour; Michael Fitzgerald; Robert Hollow – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Over the years, there have been various calls to increase and better represent astronomy in curricula. This is motivated by views within the astronomy and astronomy education communities that the awe, wonder, and interdisciplinary nature of astronomy has the potential to engage students in STEM across disciplines. Reviews of curricula have shown…

Upegui, David; Coiro, Julie; Battle, Stefan; Kraus, Rudolf; Fastovsky, David – Science & Education, 2022
Systemic oppression includes inequitable education that historically does not fully prepare students for comprehensive participation in society. The tools of science education, however, uniquely enable students to explore social inequities as well as the natural world. Thus, a role of education can be to embed social justice in science curricula.…

Hsu, Jeremy L.; Halpin, Patricia A. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
The physiology core concepts are designed to guide instructors in undergraduate physiology courses. However, although past work has characterized the alignment of physiology programs with the core concepts, it is unclear to what extent these core concepts have influenced instructors' pedagogical decisions or how represented these core concepts are…

Paz, Giovanni Scataglia Botelho; Locatelli, Solange Wagner – International Baltic Symposium on Science and Technology Education, 2023
Science education objectives in Brazil have evolved over time. Initially, the focus was on creating scientifically literate citizens who could relate scientific concepts to their daily lives. In 2017, the São Paulo City Curriculum for Natural Sciences was introduced to teach students scientific literacy through inquiry-based teaching methods. This…

Wan, Dongsheng; Lee, Yew-Jin – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
The intended curriculum is arguably one of the most important components within any national educational system although those in primary science have not been subject to extensive research scrutiny. Based on reformed primary science curricula from Hong Kong, mainland China, and Taiwan, we compared them on two key features: (1) levels of knowledge…

Baiq Fatmawati; M. Marzuki; Fenny Roshayanti; Purwati Kuswarini Suprapto – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2024
"Kurikulum Merdeka" is a learning experience framework that offers flexibility and focuses on essential content, character development, and students' competencies. Teachers had the discretion to develop their modules to choose, design, and organize the learning contents for students, based on their needs. By using that module, there is…

Burt, Michael B.; Boesdorfer, Sarah B. – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2021
Recent reform efforts have been adopted in the United States to reimagine student learning in science. Historical reform efforts have required teacher buy-in necessary for substantive change to occur. Using a mixed-method methodology, chemistry teacher progress in implementing the "Next Generation Science Standards" in Illinois and views…

Bing Wei; Jiayi Lin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Three visions of scientific literacy have been discussed in the literature of science and chemistry education, but little is known of their embodiment in chemistry curricula. Grounded on the conjunction of the three visions of scientific literacy and the subject matter of chemistry, this study investigated the manifestation of scientific literacy…

Astronomy is considered by many to be a gateway science owing to its ability to inspire curiosity in everyone irrespective of age, culture, or general inclination towards science. Currently, where there is a global push to get more students engaged in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, astronomy provides an invaluable conduit to…

Wrighting, Diedra M.; Dombach, Jamie; Walker, Mike; Cook, Jenene; Duncan, Marlina; Ruiz, Gisselle Velez; Colón-Carmona, Adán; Birren, Bruce – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
The historic underrepresentation of women, certain racial and ethnic minorities, and members of other marginalized groups in careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) reflects a disproportionate exit of individuals from these academic and career paths due to both environmental and personal factors. To transition…

Xinliang Zhu; Ting Tang – Cogent Education, 2024
In recent years, single-subject experimental courses have not been able to meet the demands of the comprehensive development of life sciences. This study is based on two fundamental disciplines, molecular biology and metabolomics, with the analysis and intervention of tumor-related genes as the starting point. A comprehensive experimental course…
