Biology education researchers seek to improve biology education, particularly at the introductory level, yet there is little documentation about what is actually happening in introductory biology. To characterize the landscape of learning expectations for introductory biology, we analyzed course-level learning objectives (n = 1108) and course…

Barron J. Montgomery; Argenta M. Price; Carl E. Wieman – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
A major goal of physics education is to develop strong problem-solving skills for students. To become expert problem solvers, students must have opportunities to deliberately practice those skills. In this work, we adopt a previously described definition of problem solving that consists of a set of 29 decisions made by expert scientists. We…

As community colleges and systems move away from developmental education and encourage students to enroll in introductory, college-level coursework to complete their math and English requirements, it is critical to provide students with additional academic supports to help them succeed. One such model is the corequisite course, a model that offers…

Anderson; Chelsie Romulo – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2024
Interdisciplinary environmental and sustainability (IES) programs are different from other fields because they focus on a complex integration of humanities, social, and natural sciences concepts centered on the interactions of coupled human and natural systems. The interdisciplinary nature of IES programs does not lend itself to traditional…

Ryan D. Shaw; Stuart Chapman Hill – Journal of Music Teacher Education, 2025
In this article, we analyze a course type common to music education degree plans: the "introduction to music education" (IME) course. Known as "intro to music ed" or by a variety of other names related to "foundations" and foundational thinking, this course type is ubiquitous. However, the aims, content, and…

Justin C. Ortagus; Rodney Hughes; Nicholas Voorhees; Hope Allchin – Research in Higher Education, 2025
Online education has the potential to remove barriers and increase access to higher education, but previous studies have revealed mixed results regarding the effect of online enrollment on college students' academic outcomes. This study leverages novel administrative data and a fuzzy regression discontinuity design to examine the impact of online…

Drew T. Ashby-King; Melissa A. Lucas – Communication Teacher, 2025
Dominant approaches to assessment have often limited students' ability to share their perspectives on course experiences. Further, assessment approaches are often disconnected from pedagogical practice and reinforce the status quo. In this article, we outline our critical-interpretive approach to a four-year cycle of assessments examining…
