Grieger, Krystal; Schiro, Annie; Leontyev, Alexey – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
As implementation of green chemistry into university-level courses increases, it is vital that educators have a tool to rapidly measure student knowledge of green chemistry principles. We report the development of the Assessment of Student Knowledge of Green Chemistry Principles (ASK-GCP) and evaluation of its sensitivity and effectiveness for…

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…

Triyanto; Handayani, Rif'ati Dina – Diaspora, Indigenous, and Minority Education, 2020
Integrating indigenous knowledge in the science classroom is one approach of maximizing the sociocultural relevance of education. The purpose of this study is to describe the possibility of integrating indigenous knowledge and school sciences through a Teacher Learning Community (TLC) at the secondary school. Data were collected through teaching…

Leveraging Multiple Analytic Frameworks to Assess the Stability of Students' Knowledge in Physiology
Lira, Matthew; Gardner, Stephanie M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
When a student explains a biological phenomenon, does the answer reflect only the "product of retrieving knowledge" or does it also reflect a "dynamic process of constructing knowledge?" To gain insight into students' dynamic knowledge, we leveraged three analytic frameworks--structures--behaviors--functions (SBF), mental…

Lee, Wei Ching; Der-Thanq Chen, Victor; Wang, Li-Yi – Teacher Development, 2021
Teachers' consideration may affect their intention to implement learner-centred pedagogy. Literature showed that aspects such as task goal, students' characteristics, teachers' ability, learning environment design, and school shape teacher considerations in teaching analysis. However, the interrelationship among these aspects remains largely…

Chen, Xinnian; Redden, John M.; Bobrownicki, Aiyana; Gill, Julia; Graham, Mark J. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Student-centered teaching practices such as active learning continue to gain momentum in college science education. Many instructors committed to these innovative practices transform their classrooms beyond the standard lecture. Nevertheless, widespread implementation of these practices is limited, because the learning benefits for students are…

Magana, Alejandra J.; Chiu, Jennifer; Ying Seah, Ying; Bywater, James P.; Schimpf, Corey; Karabiyik, Tugba; Rebello, Sanjay; Xie, Charles – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
This multiple case study focused on the implementation of a computer-aided design (CAD) simulation to help students engage in engineering design to learn science concepts. Our findings describe three case studies that adopted the same learning design and adapted it to three different populations, settings, and classroom contexts: at the…

Gann, Amity Fairlight – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Student achievement is rooted in a teacher's ability to identify and assess student understanding of material. This is particularly challenging in classroom settings, which are dynamic and full of distractions, especially in science classrooms where discussion and inquiry are paramount. In mathematics education, the concept of "professional…

Lyon, Edward G. – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2017
This study explored the enactment of formative assessment practices in 89 observed lessons across 15 middle and high school science teachers before and after they participated in workshops that coalesced around formative assessment, teaching science to English learners (ELs), and integrating Next Generation Science Standards with Common Core…

Bell, Patrice – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
The physical science curriculum design at Georgia Gwinnett College requires a theme-based course (lecture and group work, and laboratory) for nonscience majors. Increased student engagement is anticipated when science topics are taught in the context of a topic of which students can select during course registration. This paper presents the course…

Melville, Wayne; Pilot, Jason – International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2014
This article investigates the influences on a teacher's uncertainty through the use of storyline methodology. As a research method, storylines can be utilised to educe a teacher's responses to inquiries into their practice. The particular storylines in this article are drawn from the uncertainty work of Floden and Clark (1988) and reflect aspects…

Marine, Susan Sonchik – Journal of Chemical Education, 2013
Guidelines for planning a study abroad course in chemistry start with defining the course objectives and outcomes. These, in turn, guide the choice of course content and format, location, length of travel, activities, and assessment. Budgetary issues include transportation, lodging, admission fees, activities, docents and guides (including audio…

Leal, Johanna P. – Latin American Journal of Content and Language Integrated Learning, 2016
On-going bilingual programs without regard to needs analysis; little research on the actual effects of CLIL in Colombia and vague awareness or knowledge about the necessary considerations for effective CLIL programs, underpin the need to address a particular issue of curriculum as it is summative assessment. This small scale study takes place in a…

Wiegant, Fred; Scager, Karin; Boonstra, Johannes – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2011
This article reports on a one-semester Advanced Cell Biology course that endeavors to bridge the gap between gaining basic textbook knowledge about cell biology and learning to think and work as a researcher. The key elements of this course are 1) learning to work with primary articles in order to get acquainted with the field of choice, to learn…

Michael, Joel; Modell, Harold; McFarland, Jenny; Cliff, William – Advances in Physiology Education, 2009
The explosion of knowledge in all of the biological sciences, and specifically in physiology, has created a growing problem for educators. There is more to know than students can possibly learn. Thus, difficult choices have to be made about what we expect students to master. One approach to making the needed decisions is to consider those "core…
