Bo Ding; Ju Wang; Yaxin Mao; Tian Meng; Yumei Luo; Xiaomei Xu; Zhanqing Lv; Mian Zhou; Qiuying Yang – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Fluorescence-related experimental techniques play an important role in biochemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology. However, fluorescence-related experiments are rarely included in the laboratory courses of most Chinese universities. This is mainly due to the conflict between large class size (50-60 students in one room) and funding/space…

Oyama, Hiroshi; Nabeshima, Yuka; Morimoto, Koichi; Sugimura, Yukio – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Coagulation is an important process in the context of water purification; and the seed protein of the moringa tree ("Moringa oleifera") is a remarkably effective coagulant. The laboratory course described here is designed to provide high-school students with a stepwise, hands-on experience in investigating the protein-rich coagulant…

Saowarux Fuangswasdi; Wanlapa Aeungmaitrepirom; Vanida Nilsom; Pritsana Ralakhee; Pumidech Puthongkham – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The COVID-19 pandemic, which emerged in early 2020, forced educational institutions in Thailand to chiefly rely on online learning during the government mandated lockdown for almost two academic years. Although migration to the online format seems to suit lectures, it is inadequate for laboratory courses since students could not do the experiment…

Williams; Zachary Conley; Hinton Antentor Jr. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Physiology is an important field for students to gain a better understanding of biological mechanisms. Yet, many students often find it difficult to learn from lectures, resulting in poor retention. Here, we utilize a learning workshop model to teach students at different levels ranging from middle school to undergraduate. We specifically designed…
