Tom O'Mahony; Martin Hill; Raul Onet; Marius Neag; Luis de la Torre Cubillo; Dao Zhou – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2024
Research exploring the advantages and limitations of different laboratory modes on student learning is critical so that engineering instructors can design hybrid/blended laboratories to maximise student learning. However, limited research explores the impact of take-home laboratories on student learning. This article documents the impact that the…

Sophia Beilharz; Malena Vermut-Young; Katherine Anderson; Daniele Vinella; Anuj Pahuja; Yichun Yuan; Konpal Raheja; Carlos E. Crespo-Herna´ndez; Metin Karayilan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Early research experiences play an important role in shaping students' academic and professional development and future career path. While many colleges and universities offer undergraduate students the chance to engage in research, a significant number of high school students face limited or no access to such opportunities. Initiatives such as…

Buck, Gregory W.; Chelikowsky, Derrick J.; Doyungan, Stella M.; Tahtamouni, Mohammad Emad; Turner, Jeffrey W. – Distance Learning, 2023
Due to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), universities were restricted from gathering students for in-person instruction, especially teaching hands-on techniques in microbiology laboratory courses. This report describes how a Hispanic-serving institution (HSI) transitioned to remote learning for microbiology laboratories through a model, PRUTE,…

Porter – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
For close to 2 years, we have witnessed the impacts of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on research at several different levels. Among the list, limited access to laboratory-based training for undergraduate students prevented this cohort from gaining exposure to the realities of a research laboratory at a critical time in training when they may have found…

Eich, Elizabeth; Catanese, Daniel J., Jr.; King, Brian; Beier, Margaret E. – Scholarship and Practice of Undergraduate Research, 2022
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are increasingly popular, but less often implemented in core laboratory courses due to the strict learning objectives necessary for follow-on courses. A curricular core intermediate-level experimental biosciences laboratory course was implemented, which paired competency-based assignments…

Hannah Jardine; Gavin Frome; Elizabeth Griffith – International Journal for Students as Partners, 2023
The most effective teaching and learning environments are those in which students are involved as active partners with faculty, and the greatest impact occurs when faculty go beyond asking students for feedback and instead involve them in design, production, and implementation. In this paper, we explore the process of student-faculty co-creation…

Vlaardingerbroek, Barend – School Science Review, 2018
The role of the school science laboratory, once taken for granted as verification of taught theory using prescribed ('cookbook' to critics) practical activities, has become less clear since the emergence of the 'inquiry' paradigm in which the school laboratory would appear to become a make-believe science research laboratory. But a school science…

Ella Yonai; Ron Blonder – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The setting of this study is a remote laboratory with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The SEM is an advanced instrument used by scientists to characterize structures in the nanoscale. The remote SEM activity was structured to address different practices of laboratory inquiry. Secondary chemistry students were requested to prepare at home…

Faith E. Jacobsen – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The goal of this study was to assess student's laboratory technique learning during online laboratories in response to the transition online caused by COVID-19. From Summer 2020 through Fall 2021 our General Chemistry 1 laboratories were completely online using at-home lab kits and 3 h weekly web conference sessions. Starting Spring 2021 select…

Cole Jarvis Walsh – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Introductory physics lab instruction is undergoing a transformation, with increasing emphasis on developing experimentation and critical thinking skills. These changes present a need for standardized assessment instruments to determine the degree to which students develop these skills through instructional labs. In the first part of this thesis,…

Simpson, Tyler; Chiu, Yu-Chun; Richards-Babb, Michelle; Blythe, Jessica M.; Ku, Kang-Mo – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
Allelopathy plays crucial roles in invasive plant viability and agricultural production systems. However, there is no well-established hands-on learning activity to teach the concept of allelopathy. Nor is there an activity which allows students to gain knowledge about glucosinolates and their corresponding enzyme, myrosinase, which are present in…

Chadwick, Scott; de la Hunty, Mackenzie; Baker, Anthony – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Students in first-year chemistry classes come from a variety of backgrounds, with many students unaware of the qualities and behaviors of a professional scientist. Throughout their degree, students will gradually develop their cognitive skills, but they may not be adequately taught or assessed on their professional behavioral skills as a scientist…

Eymur, Guluzar – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
The present study investigated how students' self-efficacy changed after participation in four lab investigations that were designed on the basis of a new laboratory instructional strategy, namely, argument-driven inquiry (ADI). The study was conducted with 64 10th grade students from two intact classes in a public high school in the northeast of…
