Kurt Bodenstedt; Jacob L. Fripp; Shan Li; Zhou Lu; Mohammad A. Omary; Molly B. Atkinson – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
An advanced research discovery laboratory course in inorganic chemistry has been developed to engage undergraduate students in authentic research experiences directly related to concepts and theory taught in the lecture portion of the course. The 12-week laboratory involves an initial 4 weeks of training experiments on inorganic/organometallic…

David P. Reid; Timothy D. Drysdale – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
The designs of many student-facing learning analytics (SFLA) dashboards are insufficiently informed by educational research and lack rigorous evaluation in authentic learning contexts, including during remote laboratory practical work. In this article, we present and evaluate an SFLA dashboard designed using the principles of formative assessment…

Sarah Hohrath; Sandra Aßmann; Heiko Krabbe; Maria Opfermann – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2024
Non-formal learning settings like out-of-school labs provide students with insights into authentic learning situations. For example, in physics, students are engaged in experimenting as an authentic method. However, increasing the authenticity in experimentation can lead to overwhelming demands and hinder concept development and does not even need…

Shira Joudan; Holly Barrett; Amila O. De Silva; Shane R. de Solla; Hui Peng; Jessica C. D'eon – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Fieldwork is a meaningful and authentic learning experience that is rarely included in undergraduate chemistry courses. In this laboratory, we visited a hot spot of perfluoroalkyl acid (PFAA) contamination identified in 2012, in Binbrook, Ontario, Canada, a 1 h drive from the University of Toronto. The persistence and unique environmental…

Schot, Willemijn D.; Hegeman, Maria A.; Broeke, Toine; Valentijn, Floris A.; Meijerman, Irma; Prins, Frans J.; Dictus, Wim J. A. G.; Bovenschen, Niels – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Optimal integration of education and ongoing faculty research in many undergraduate science programs is limited to the capstone project. Here, we aimed to develop a novel course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) in synergy with ongoing faculty research. This 10-week course called Biomedical Research Lab is embedded in the curriculum…

Nicole L. Mandel; Briana Le; Riley Ward; Sarah J. R. Hansen; Joseph C. Ulichny – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Students often enter chemistry laboratory courses with a well-documented disconnect between their experiences outside the classroom and the procedures, concepts, and techniques that occur in our courses. Strong base, weak acid titration experiments are present in general chemistry laboratories but also relate to foods our students are familiar…

Maha Zewail-Foote; Marti´n Gonzalez – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
In an effort to improve student learning, authentic research experiences have been incorporated into introductory laboratory courses as a means to teach students scientific inquiry and engage them in the scientific process. Here, we describe the development and implementation of a novel undergraduate research-based laboratory course for first-year…

Iraya Yánez-Pérez; Radu Bogdan Toma; Jesús Ángel Meneses-Villagrá – Journal of New Approaches in Educational Research, 2024
Virtual laboratories and simulations have emerged as innovative solutions for science teaching. However, existing resources have various limitations and constraints including cognitive load/mental burden and limited coverage of all necessary steps in scientific inquiry, focusing mainly on the experimental simulation. To bridge this gap and address…

Elizabeth W. Kelley – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Despite decades of reform efforts, STEM education continues to face calls for improvement, especially regarding the teaching laboratory. Establishing an empirical understanding of the types of hands-on, psychomotor skills that students need to learn to succeed in downstream careers could help ensure laboratory courses are promoting authentic…

LaForge, Joseph; Martin, Erika C. – American Biology Teacher, 2022
We present data displaying course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) effectiveness in providing authentic cutting-edge research experiences to undergraduates, which both private and government organizations recognize as essential. A total of 68 students were enrolled in this research with 50 students being in a traditional laboratory…

Martin, Erika C. – American Biology Teacher, 2021
This project involves students in a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) as part of the traditional introductory biology laboratory course. Recently, research has shown that student engagement in authentic research has significant positive impacts on students, such as development of science literacy and reasoning skills. Being…

Cooper, A. C.; Southard, K. M.; Osness, J. B.; Bolger, M. S. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Limited access to undergraduate research experiences for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics students has led to creation of classroom-based opportunities for students to participate in authentic science. Revising laboratory courses to engage students in the practices of science has been shown to have many benefits for students.…

Goodwin, Emma C.; Anokhin, Vladimir; Gray, MacKenzie J.; Zajic, Daniel E.; Podrabsky, Jason E.; Shortlidge, Erin E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) and inquiry-based curricula both expose students to the scientific process. CUREs additionally engage students in novel and scientifically relevant research, with the intention of providing an "authentic" research experience. However, we have little understanding of which course…

Vogt, Friederike; Schmiemann, Philipp – Education Sciences, 2020
Professional vision is a key ability in the professional development of pre- and in-service teachers as it determines how professionals perceive and interpret situations. The aim of this study was to conceptualize an instrument for professional vision focusing on formative assessment in the context of scientific inquiry. This focus is highly…

Penn, Mafor; Ramnarain, Umesh – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2019
This mixed method study investigated changes in 3rd year Bachelor of Education students' attitudes towards chemistry after learning interventions with virtual chemistry simulations. After participant students identified certain concepts from their 3rd year chemistry module as being abstract and not easily comprehensible, these concepts were…
