Anthony Howcroft; Daniel King – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
Students come into the classroom with a variety of background knowledge. Therefore, it is imperative that educators are able to help all students, regardless of their familiarity with the content. Since it can be challenging for some large enrollment classes to schedule recitation classes after lectures due to logistical constraints, this study…

Patricia Moreira; Vicente Talanquer – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Teaching is a complex activity that demands paying attention to diverse components and relationships that affect the learning process, and acting with intentionality to build and nurture those connections. In this qualitative research study, we proposed and used an intentional-relational framework to explore differences in the relationships that…

George, Marcus Lloyde – Journal of Educational Technology, 2023
All in-class teaching in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, West Indies was suspended on Friday, 13 March 2020, because of the COVID-19 global health crisis. These restrictions remained for the commencement of the new academic year 2020-2021, which began in September 2020, thus jeopardizing the delivery of course content at the University of the…

Chaya Gopalan – Advances in Physiology Education, 2025
Flipped teaching (FT) is an instructional approach centered around students, displacing traditional lectures from the classroom to make room for active learning. Retrieval practice can enhance content recall. This study investigated the effectiveness of lecture-style teaching (TT), FT, and a combination of retrieval practice with FT (FTR) in a…

Chris Taylor – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Phenomenon-based teaching is a multidisciplinary instructional approach based on student inquiry and problem solving. Students investigate and solve their own questions by applying what topics are relevant to the problem. The goal of phenomenon-based learning is to prepare learners to solve problems in real life. Instead of passively learning…

Santangelo, Jessica; Cadieux, Marissa; Zapata, Samantha – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2021
The mismatch between high school and college learning environments creates a barrier to student success in STEM majors in college. The high school learning environment relies on surface learning in which skills such as re-reading and memorizing are sufficient for academic success. The college learning environment, particularly in STEM disciplines,…

Neni Murniati; Y. Yennita; Dinda Triski Oktaria Ha; R. Riyanto – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2025
Plant morphology courses develop students' understanding of plant structures and identification skills through mini-research activities. Effective species identification requires a literature review and the ability to find, evaluate, and use relevant information. This qualitative study examines students' information literacy skills in completing…

Owen J. Curnow; Jason K. Pearson – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The effectiveness of a formal charge method to draw Lewis structures that was developed by Curnow was studied quantitatively by direct comparison of two groups of students: one of which was taught the new formal charge method and another that was taught a traditional method. Students' marks on a common assessment were found to improve by…
