Doggrell, Sheila Anne – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
The positive relationship between lecture attendance and academic outcomes may be changing in the era of lecturing recordings. The objective of the study was to test this and to determine whether it varied between student cohorts. Consenting students in biochemistry from pharmacy, biomedical science, medical laboratory science, and nutrition…

Neha Parikh; Emily Hansen-Kiss; Walid Fakhouri; Julian N. Holland; Harold Henson; Richard Halpin – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
The effectiveness of incorporating an audience response system (ARS) in improving the learning environment and student performance was assessed in a didactic biomedical science course at a large US dental school. Instructors and students were surveyed for their experiences of using Top Hat-based ARS in a multi-disciplinary biomedical science…

Kulak, Verena; Newton, Genevieve – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2014
Studies indicate that the majority of students in undergraduate biochemistry take a surface approach to learning, associated with rote memorization of material, rather than a deep approach, which implies higher cognitive processing. This behavior relates to poorer outcomes, including impaired course performance and reduced knowledge retention. The…

Bevan, Samantha J.; Chan, Cecilia W. L.; Tanner, Julian A. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2014
Although there is increasing evidence for a relationship between courses that emphasize student engagement and achievement of student deep learning, there is a paucity of quantitative comparative studies in a biochemistry and molecular biology context. Here, we present a pedagogical study in two contrasting parallel biochemistry introductory…

Costa, Manuel Joao – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2013
Student-centered education is in the air. It is present in many reform agendas for higher education across every discipline and is shortlisted as an important goal for teaching and learning in many reports and recommendations of professional agencies and scientific societies. There is wide consensus that moving from teacher-centered to…

Davis, Elizabeth Ann; Hodgson, Yvonne; Macaulay, Janet Olwyn – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2012
Academic staff at universities have become concerned about the decrease in student attendance at lectures and the implication of this on student achievement and learning. Few studies have measured actual lecture attendance in a coherent or comprehensive way. The aim of this study was to measure actual lecture attendance of students over two year…
