Heather A. McQueen – New Directions in the Teaching of Natural Sciences, 2024
Students in their first semester at university were asked to pose their own questions, known as quecture questions, for each learning topic. This was as part of their weekly preparation for flipped lectures on two parallel compulsory biology courses. Quecture questions are intended to engage students, particularly those with educational…

Ilana Ram; Rinat Rosenberg-Kima; Daniel R. Lewin; Abigail Barzilai; Olga Chumtonov; Ido Roll – Online Learning, 2025
While the benefits of active learning to student experiences are well documented, less is known about active learning in online education, especially regarding the development of 21st century skills (e.g., communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity). Specifically, open questions remain concerning the contribution of different…

Teresa Celestino; Dora Stella Lombardi – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Italian high school students carried out some activities within career guidance actions organized by the Department of Chemistry of Sapienza University (Rome) in order to promote enrollments in a chemistry Bachelor's course, thus remedying the shortage of professional chemists. Novel didactic sequences have been designed to facilitate the…

Essop, M. Faadiel; Beselaar, Leandrie – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
Although there is increased uptake of active learning approaches in especially developed countries, this is still lagging within the African context. The current study therefore focused on the implementation of group learning at Stellenbosch University, with several modifications versus our earlier, pilot study. Students freely formed small groups…

You, Ji Won – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2021
Creativity is an important educational goal. This study examines how creativity can be enhanced by investigating the relationships between team efficacy, psychological safety, team interaction, and team creativity in team project-based learning. A total of 294 students (93 teams) participating in project-based learning at a Korean university were…

Wagner, C. Isabel; Bal, Thijs M. P.; Brinchmann, Monica F.; Noble, Leslie R.; Raeymaekers, Joost A. M.; Bjørnevik, Marit – Cogent Education, 2023
In comparison with traditional lectures, active learning methods have the potential to foster learner agency and consequently raise academic performance. However, these methods are often applied with little knowledge about their effectiveness. In this study, we introduced two concept maps in an undergraduate cell biology course, to investigate…

Castro de Jesus, Louise; Cabral, Luiz Mors – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
During the COVID-19 pandemic, all on-campus activities were required to be adapted to a distance-learning format, which was especially challenging for practical courses. Molecular biology is a mandatory course for biology undergraduates at Universidade Federal Fluminense. To overcome the impossibility of practical activities, we proposed…

Vergara-Castan~eda, Arely; Cha´vez-Miyauchi, Toma´s-Eduardo; Beni´tez-Rico, Adriana; Ogando-Justo, Ana-Bele´n – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Actions taken to control the propagation of COVID-19 forced most activities to switch into an online environment. Education was no exception. In most of the cases the transition turned out well, and online education proved to be a good alternative to the traditional model. However, in the case of practical courses, the situation is quite different…

Heinemann, Jack A.; Goldstien, Sharyn – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Institution-crippling earthquakes limited teaching contact hours and range of teaching environments. New ways became needed to achieve the same learning outcomes in less time. Following that disaster, new methods based on active and test-enhanced learning were introduced into two undergraduate molecular biology courses. The courses had a mixture…
