Direct linkColeman, Aaron B.; Lorenzo, Kyla; McLamb, Flannery; Sanku, Abhiraj; Khan, Sahil; Bozinovic, Goran – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Effectively teaching scientific reasoning requires an understanding of the challenges students face when learning these skills. We designed an assessment that measures undergraduate student abilities to form hypotheses, design experiments, and interpret data from experiments in cellular and molecular biology. The assessment uses…

Jones, Jeff C.; Bassett, Gennie M.; Lescalleet, Jacob L.; Wingert, Jason R. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
CRISPR technologies are among the most powerful advancements in modern biology because they accurately manipulate the genomes of living cells and have the potential of curing various genetic diseases. This study examined the attitudes of undergraduate health science students towards somatic cell and germline gene editing therapies and whether…

Understanding molecular processes and coordinating the various activities across levels of organization in biological systems is a complicated task, yet many curricular guidelines indicate that undergraduate students should master it. Employing mechanistic reasoning can facilitate describing and investigating biological phenomena. Biofilms are an…

Gregory J. Crowther; Usha Sankar; Leena S. Knight; Deborah L. Myers; Kevin T. Patton; Lekelia D. Jenkins; Thomas A. Knight – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2023
The biology education literature includes compelling assertions that unfamiliar problems are especially useful for revealing students' true understanding of biology. However, there is only limited evidence that such novel problems have different cognitive requirements than more familiar problems. Here, we sought additional evidence by using…

Kattmann, Ulrich – School Science Review, 2018
Should entropy and energy be emphasised as relevant concepts for biology education? This question will be discussed, highlighting the ways in which the concepts of entropy and energy can contribute to a better understanding of biological processes. Organisms are open systems. Therefore, the chosen perspective is different from the traditional…

Polcic, Peter – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
In biochemistry, the trivial names of chemical compounds constitute a significant part of scientific language. Understanding the etymology of the names may be important for the association of these names with actual compounds and thus be a valuable teaching tool. The citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) is a central metabolic pathway in most living…

Metabolic control analysis (MCA) is a promising approach in biochemistry aimed at understanding processes in a quantitative fashion. Here the contribution of enzymes and transporters to the control of a given pathway flux and metabolite concentrations is determined and expressed quantitatively by means of numerical coefficients. Metabolic flux can…

Halpin, Patricia A.; Gopalan, Chaya – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
Certain physiology concepts can be difficult for students to understand, and new strategies need to be implemented to teach these concepts. Cell signaling is a core concept in physiology and is presented to undergraduate students starting with their first-year Principles of Biology course. Flipped teaching (FT) combined with dramatizations were…

Benjamin David; Faisal Masood; Karin Jensen – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2021
The transition to remote learning in response to the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the adaptation of an in-person cell culture lab practical to a virtual assessment in an introductory biomedical engineering lab course. The virtual lab practical was administered in the course LMS and implemented video, data analysis, and multiple-choice questions.…

Brandon Thrope; Alan Rogerio Ferreira Lima; Alexandre Henrique Pinto – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Recently there is an increasing need for experiments that can be conducted remotely. In this sense, this paper presents three experiments about materials science and an X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique that can be taught and performed entirely remotely. The first experiment is about the calculation of lattice parameters, atomic radii, and…

Ragazzini, Gregorio; Mescola, Andrea; Corsi, Lorenzo; Alessandrini, Andrea – Journal of Biological Education, 2019
In recent years the possibility of observing by microscopy the dynamic activity of living cells has been largely pursued. We have developed a low-cost (~ 260 euros) on-stage cell incubator for inverted optical microscopes. This device allows to keep cells in good conditions for their survival and proliferation. The device is based on the use of…

Zukswert, Jenna M.; Barker, Megan K.; McDonnell, Lisa – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
The excessive "jargon" load in biology may be a hurdle for developing conceptual understanding as well as achieving core competencies such as scientific literacy and communication. Little work has been done to characterize student understanding of biology-specific jargon. To address this issue, we aimed to determine the types of biology…

Collings, David A.; Gerrard, Juliet A.; Garrill, Ashley – Journal of Biological Education, 2019
While most studies concerning how Universities respond to crises are based on simulations, we describe how the University of Canterbury responded to a real crisis, a series of major seismic events that caused significant disruption in 2010/2011. We focus on a single, first-year undergraduate biology course in which we modified our teaching…

Geary, David C. – Journal of Intelligence, 2019
In a recent theoretical article, I proposed that the efficiency of mitochondrial functioning is the most fundamental biological mechanism contributing to individual differences in general intelligence ("g;" Geary, 2018). The hypothesis accommodates other contributing mechanisms at higher levels of analysis (e.g., brain networks), and is…

Dogru, M. Said; Özsevgeç, Lale Cerrah – American Biology Teacher, 2023
This study aimed to compare the effects of computer-based lessons versus traditional lessons on achievement of university students regarding meiotic cell division. A pretest-intervention-posttest design was used. To determine the effect of our computer-based intervention, we established a control group. In total, 100 second-year university…
