Cummings, Cristina M.; Cummings, Timothy M. – College Teaching, 2021
We designed an interdisciplinary project-based learning course in hydroponics for undergraduate non-science major students. Students worked in teams to design, build, and maintain plants in various types of hydroponic systems over the semester. In three semesters of teaching the course, students consistently demonstrated knowledge of course…

Lyon, Eva; Freeman, Rebecca L.; Bathon, Justin; Fryar, Alan; McGlue, Michael; Erhardt, Andrea M.; Rosen, Ashley; Sampson, Shannon; Nelson, Andrew; Parsons, Joshua – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2020
A university geology department partnered with a STEM-focused high school to introduce project-based learning-centered geoscience content at the ninth-grade level. We hypothesized that these students, already interested in science, would be a natural recruitment pool into geoscience. Because they are enrolled by lottery, their demographics match…

Yoon, Jiyoon, Ed.; Semingson, Peggy, Ed. – IGI Global, 2019
As more classes move to online instruction, there is a need for research that shows the effectiveness of synchronous learning. Educators must guide students on how to use these new learning tools and become aware of the research trends and opportunities within these developing online and hybrid courses. "Educational Technology and Resources…

Tseng, Kuo-Hung; Chang, Chi-Cheng; Lou, Shi-Jer; Chen, Wen-Ping – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2013
Many scholars claimed the integration of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education is beneficial to the national economy and teachers and institutes have been working to develop integrated education programs. This study examined a project-based learning (PjBL) activity that integrated STEM using survey and interview…

Rettig, Jessica E.; Smith, Geoffrey R. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2009
Research-like experiences range from relatively "canned" labs that are highly controlled by the instructor (such as those described in Lord and Orkwiszewski 2006) to more individually designed projects (e.g., Switzer and Shriner 2000; Wyatt 2005). This article describes a laboratory approach that allows for many of the benefits of independent or…

Fink, Linda S. – American Biology Teacher, 1997
Describes a course that uses video production projects to entice lower level students into independent field investigation, reinforce their scientific curiosity, and build their confidence in the value of their own observations. Discusses the rationale behind using video, the lab structure, the success of this approach, and logistics and…

Birol, Gulnur; Birol, Inanc; Cinar, Ali – Chemical Engineering Education, 2001
Tests the hypothesis that integrating cross-course concepts in bioengineering and process control courses through a unified project could provide a stimulating learning environment. Indicates that the project helped students to integrate their acquired knowledge in process control in the bioengineering project. (ASK)

Gerrard, Juliet A.; Sparrow, Ashley D. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2002
This article describes a new approach to teaching metabolic pathways, designed to engage students with the material, and its complexities. Based on a novel way of presenting metabolic pathways, in which the focus is placed on proteins rather than metabolites, simple tutorial-based exercises and mini-projects are described, bringing metabolism to…

Lattery, Mark J. – Science and Education, 2001
Uses a Galilean thought experiment to enhance learning in a college-level physical science course. Presents both modern and historical perspectives of Galileo's work. As a final project, students explored Galileo's thought experiment in the laboratory using modern detectors with satisfying results. (Contains 25 references.) (Author/ASK)
