Busch, K. C.; Kudumu, Mwenda; Park, Soonhye – Research in Science Education, 2023
The purpose of this study was to conceptualize a pedagogical content knowledge framework for informal science educators (ISE-PCK). An initial, hypothetical framework was created grounded in the literature in informal science education (ISE) as analogous to PCK models in formal science education. An exploratory sequential mixed-methods research…

Taya Misheva; M. Elizabeth Barnes; Jason R. Wiles; Sara E. Brownell – Grantee Submission, 2024
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) cites evolution as a core concept of biology, yet studies have found that biology students often exhibit low acceptance of evolution. As such, much of evolution education research aims to identify the causes of evolution rejection and develop instructional strategies to increase…

Dayna Jean DeFeo; Sarah Gerken; Trang C. Tran; Dmitry Khodyakov; Arlene Fink – Discover Education, 2025
Introductory biology courses at most colleges and universities have two components: a lecture and a lab. However, for students who are not majoring in biology and taking the introductory course as part of their general education requirements, the distinct role of the lab has not been clearly articulated. We performed an online modified-Delphi…

Rajaragupathy, Sujatha; Govindarajan, Sumitra; Ganesan, Jeyachandran; Subramanian, Kavitha; Doraiswamy, Vijaya; Balasubramaniam, Gayathri; Andra Suryanarayana, Meenakshi Sundaram; Veeruswamy, Aruna – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Entrustable professional activities (EPAs) facilitate competency-based assessments. India is on the verge of implementing competency-based training for postgraduate programs. MD degree in Biochemistry is a unique program available exclusively in India. Postgraduate programs in most specialties have started working toward EPA-based curriculum, in…

Xufeng Huang – Educational Studies, 2024
Two scientific and systematic evaluation index systems are constructed for primary education APP and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses. These systems are revised and confirmed through two rounds of Delphi method. The Delphi method determines an educational application (APP) evaluation index system containing four…

Suzanne Estaphan; Glenn D. Wadley; Gabrielle Todd; Michelle Towstoless; Deanne H. Hryciw; Louise Lexis; Alan Hayes; Kathy Tangalakis – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
A national Task Force of 25 Australian physiology educators used the Delphi protocol to develop seven physiology core concepts that were agreed to nationally. The aim of the current study was to unpack the "physiological adaptation" core concept with the descriptor "organisms adjust and adapt to acute and chronic changes in the…

Tangalakis, Kathy; Lexis, Louise; Hryciw, Deanne H.; Towstoless, Michelle; Bakker, Anthony J.; Beckett, Elizabeth; Brown, Daniel; Cameron, Melissa; Choate, Julia; Chopin, Lisa; Cooke, Matthew B.; Douglas, Tracy; Estaphan, Suzanne; Etherington, Sarah; Gaganis, Voula; Moorhouse, Andrew; Moro, Christian; Paravicini, Tamara; Perry, Ben; Phillips, Ruben; Scott, Christopher; Todd, Gabrielle; Uebergang, Tanya; Wadley, Glenn; Watt, Matthew; Hayes, Alan – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
A set of core concepts ("big ideas") integral to the discipline of physiology are important for students to understand and demonstrate their capacity to apply. We found poor alignment of learning outcomes in programs with physiology majors (or equivalent) from 17 Australian universities and the 15 core concepts developed by a team in the…

Moro, Christian; Douglas, Tracy; Phillips, Ruben; Towstoless, Michelle; Hayes, Alan; Hryciw, Deanne H.; Lexis, Louise; Tangalakis, Kathy – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Consensus was reached on seven core concepts of physiology using the Delphi method, including "integration," outlined by the descriptor "cells, tissues, organs, and organ systems interact to create and sustain life." This core concept was unpacked by a team of 3 Australian physiology educators into hierarchical levels,…

Pols, C. F. J.; Dekkers, P. J. J. M.; de Vries, M. J. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2022
Physics inquiry can be interpreted as the construction of a cogent argument in which students apply inquiry knowledge and knowledge of physics to the systematic collection of relevant, valid, and reliable data, creating optimal scientific support for a conclusion that answers the research question. In learning how to devise, conduct and evaluate a…

Saido, G. A. M.; Siraj, S.; DeWitt, D.; Al-Amedy, O. S. – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
It is important for science students to develop higher order thinking (HOT) so that they can reason like scientists in the field. In this study, a HOT instructional model for secondary school science was developed with experts. The model would focus on reflective thinking (RT) and science process skills (SPS) among Grade 7 students. The Fuzzy…

Kloser, Matthew – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2014
The "Framework for K-12 Science Education" details ambitious goals for students' learning of science content and practices. However, this document provides science teachers little guidance about instructional practices that are central to helping students achieve these goals. Research indicates that a teacher's instructional…

Ruppert, John Robert – ProQuest LLC, 2015
Human beings depend on a set of benefits that emerge from functioning ecosystems, termed Ecosystem Services (ES), and make decisions in everyday life that affect these ES. Recent advancements in science have led to an increasingly sophisticated understanding of ES and how they can be used to inform environmental decision-making. Following suit, US…

Blanco-López, Ángel; España-Ramos, Enrique; González-García, Francisco José; Franco-Mariscal, Antonio Joaquín – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2015
Recent decades have seen an increasing emphasis on linking the content and aims of science teaching to what the average citizen requires in order to participate effectively in contemporary society, one that is heavily dependent on science and technology. However, despite attempts to define what a scientific education for citizenship should ideally…

Moxham, Bernard John; Plaisant, Odile; Smith, Claire F.; Pawlina, Wojciech; McHanwell, Stephen – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2014
There is increasingly a call for clinical relevance in the teaching of the biomedical sciences within all health care programs. This presupposes that there is an understanding of what is "core" material within the curriculum. To date, the anatomical sciences have been poorly served by the development of core syllabuses, although there…

Mercer-Mapstone, Lucy; Kuchel, Louise – International Journal of Science Education, Part B: Communication and Public Engagement, 2017
Science communication is a diverse and transdisciplinary field and is taught most effectively when the skills involved are tailored to specific educational contexts. Few academic resources exist to guide the teaching of communication with non-scientific audiences for an undergraduate science context. This mixed methods study aimed to explore what…
