Advances in the field of Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) have been limited by a fundamental separation between university-based neuroscience laboratories and school communities, constraining the field's ability to collaboratively devise research studies germane to child development. This commentary explores the assertion that the persistent…

Mark Tupper; Ian W. Hendy; J. Reuben Shipway – Innovations in Education and Teaching International, 2025
We tested whether ChatGPT can play a role in designing field courses in higher education. In collaboration with ChatGPT, we developed two field courses; the first aimed at creating a completely new field trip, while the second was tailored to fit an existing university module, and then compared to the human module design. From our case studies,…

Pence, Harry E. – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2023
Despite the current interest in Open Science in the scientific community, it is not clear if Open Science will succeed in higher education. Open Science is based on three basic ideas: open data, open results, and open publication. If these principles can be successfully implemented, it will allow for much greater participation in the scientific…

Karine Molvinger – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
This article focuses on the learning of the Lewis representation at the transition from high school to university, in France. Indeed, this notion is taught both in high school and in the first year of higher education but with different methods, which seems to hinder the learners. In this work, we observe 11th grade and higher education classes…

Julie Ann Smith – ProQuest LLC, 2024
In response to the problem of rapid increases in higher education offering more programs in a hybrid format after COVID-19, educators questioned the best way to make these changes in delivery in such fields as health sciences and specifically with students in an associate degree program of science radiologic science. To achieve an answer, this…

Camille Kandiko Howson, Editor; Martyn Kingsbury, Editor – UCL Press, 2024
In "Belonging and Identity in STEM Higher Education," leading scholars, teachers, practitioners and students explore belonging and identity in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields, and how this is impacted by disciplinary changes and the post-pandemic higher education context. In STEM fields, positivist…

Alexis Irina Harvey – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a method of instruction that challenges students to answer questions in a practical manner using their understanding of learned course content. The question at the heart of this study concerns if and how faculty in one institution are currently using PBL. I used an exploratory descriptive case study to research the…

Essiane, Salome Ndjakomo; Essama, Bedel Giscard Onana – Physics Education, 2022
The goal of this work is to build a low cost pedagogical device able to improve the comprehension of weather phenomena for African students in particular and in general for students across the world. This experimental and didactic device can be seen as an easy teaching tool to measure meteorological and climatic data. This structure is called a…

Pagan-Munoz, Anyeliz – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This qualitative study examines the semiotic meanings communicated through multiple representations in the teaching of an advanced undergraduate course in biology. Scientific discourse is intrinsically multimodal in nature; in other words, science is discussed and researched using multiple modes that convey meaning (Lemke, 1998). Therefore, to…

Herodotou, Christothea; Muirhead, Dave K.; Aristeidou, Maria; Hole, Malcolm J.; Kelley, Simon; Scanlon, Eileen; Duffy, Marcus – Interactive Learning Environments, 2020
Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) are becoming commonplace in Higher Education. Amongst the latest VLE developments is the design and use of Virtual Microscopes (VMs) that allow for viewing and manipulation of online images by multiple students. Although students are found to be generally satisfied with the use of VMs, it is yet not known what…

Charisse T. Reyes; Christopher D. Thompson; Gwendolyn A. Lawrie; Sara H. Kyne – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2024
Background: Effective teaching of university chemistry in an online environment not only requires teachers to have specific discipline content knowledge; it also requires them to have knowledge and skills in technology-enhanced teaching practices. When transitioning from traditional face-to-face teaching into online contexts, teachers must learn…

Archila, Pablo Antonio; Gravier, Gissel; Levy, Laura; Ortiz, Brigithe Tatiana; Rodríguez, Alejandra; Wilches, Luciana; Truscott de Mejía, Anne-Marie; Restrepo, Silvia – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2022
The rise in university bilingual science courses is explained by a certain phenomenon, the internationalization of higher education. Bilingual Argument Mapping (BAM) -- the ability to construct argument maps using two languages -- is a key aspect of bilingual scientific literacy. An argument map is a visual representation of argument structure.…
