Chin Wen Png; Lih Ing Goh; Yuanxiang Kenneth Chen; Huimin Yeo; Haiyan Liu – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2024
The COVID-19 global pandemic has prompted educators in universities to reconsider their teaching methods, mainly due to the social distancing measures imposed within the classroom settings. On the other hand, the growing importance of continuing education opportunities for adult learners after graduation has seen the need to transform traditional…

Brian Park – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Over the years, the evolution of science along with technology, engineering, and mathematics has been noticeably evident while science education, on the other hand, has shown little development. The research study aimed to investigate future change initiative implementation in secondary science curricula. In addition, the purpose of the research…

Lindsey Harding; Robby Nadler; Paula Rawlins; Elizabeth Day; Kristen Miller; Kimberly Martin – College Composition and Communication, 2020
Interdisciplinary collaborations to help students compose for discipline-specific contexts draw on multiple expertise. Science, technology, education, and mathematics (STEM) programs particularly rely on their writing colleagues because (1) their academic expertise is often not writing and (2) teaching writing often necessitates a redesigning of…

Koeper, Ingo; Shapter, Joe; North, Vanessa; Houston, Don – Journal of University Teaching and Learning Practice, 2020
In science courses in general, but especially in first year chemistry classes, the amount of content that is delivered is often overwhelming and too complex for the student to easily cope with. Students not only have to gain knowledge in a variety of different fields, they also have to learn new laboratory skills and analytical techniques.…

Wang, Xinghua; Hall, Allison H.; Wang, Qiyun – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
This study investigated a 3-year implementation of accredited massive online open courses (MOOCs) in a conventional university in China. Fifteen students and two staff were interviewed, and relevant policy documents were examined. Thematic analysis was utilised to analyse the data. The study found that students mostly took a wary stance towards…

Inwood, Hilary J.; Taylor, Ryan W. – International Electronic Journal of Environmental Education, 2012
Environmental art education is growing in popularity in college and university programs as the arts begin to play a more prominent role in environmental and sustainability education. As this emerging field of study is an interdisciplinary endeavor that draws from the more established fields of visual art education and environmental education,…

Quinnell, Rosanne; May, Elizabeth; Peat, Mary – International Journal of Science Education, 2012
We surveyed first year students at the start and at the end of their first semester of university biology (n = 285) as to their approaches to study ("surface", "deep") and their conceptions of biology ("fragmented", "cohesive"). Hierarchical cluster analysis was used to group students who responded similarly…

Holme, Thomas; Bretz, Stacey Lowery; Cooper, Melanie; Lewis, Jennifer; Paek, Pamela; Pienta, Norbert; Stacy, Angelica; Stevens, Ron; Towns, Marcy – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2010
The role of assessment in the chemistry classroom is ultimately tied to the nature of the assessments available for use. Because they provide data that can inform decisions about curricular changes, or new pedagogies, the incorporation of new assessment strategies can play an important role in how educational and curriculum reform is carried out.…
