Direct linkAngela Bassoli – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Organic molecules are invisible objects, but they can be visualized and manipulated by using molecular models. The object-based learning (OBL) approach, which is an educational tool developed for museums and collection items, is tailored and applied to a first-year bachelor course of organic chemistry. At the beginning of the course, each student…

Lilin Tong; Bethany J. G. White; Jastaranpreet Singh – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
There is widespread misuse of statistics in research, particularly in the life sciences, which is one of the contributing factors to reproducibility concerns in research. However, the formal quantitative training that life sciences research trainees receive is often quite limited. Our survey of statistics requirements in undergraduate life…

Norton, Douglas E. – PRIMUS, 2022
This paper introduces a course design for a post-Calculus undergraduate course on mathematical modeling for the life sciences. The course includes differential equations, discrete, and cellular automata approaches (among others) to modeling questions in the life sciences, as well as a variety of biological topics. The course focuses on model…

Borda, Emily; Haskell, Todd; Todd, Andrew – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2022
We propose cross-disciplinary learning as a construct that can guide instruction and assessment in programs that feature sequential learning across multiple science disciplines. Crossdisciplinary learning combines insights from interdisciplinary learning, transfer, and resources frameworks and highlights the processes of resource activation,…

Daniel L. Silverio; Eugenia Villa-Cuesta; Alison Hyslop; Kevin Kolack; Sabrina G. Sobel – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2024
Students are encouraged to develop a set of scientific skills and disciplinary practices common across the STEM disciplines. These skills (scientific inquiry, quantitative skills, laboratory and computational skills, communication skills, teamwork/interpersonal skills, interdisciplinary competency) are highlighted as important in discipline-based…

Sengul, Ozden – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2022
This article aims to explore the experiences of science instructors who are active participants in the design and enactment of an interdisciplinary science course with student-centered pedagogy in a large-enrollment class. The data were collected through interviews with instructors and analyzed using the inductive thematic approach. Results show…

Bucholtz, Kevin M.; Copeland, Madison M.; Swanger, Stefanie D. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Higher education is faced with the challenging problem of preparing students for their careers while developing them to be well-rounded, life-long learners. Employers report they desire candidates who use a broader set of skills and have higher levels of learning and knowledge to meet the increasingly complex demands of today's workplace. At…

Christopher J. Panebianco; Madhura P. Nijsure; Erin E. Berlew; Annie L. Jeong; Joel D. Boerckel – Biomedical Engineering Education, 2024
Mechanobiology is an interdisciplinary field that aims to understand how physical forces impact biological systems. Enhancing our knowledge of mechanobiology has become increasingly important for understanding human disease and developing novel therapeutics. There is a societal need to teach diverse students principles of mechanobiology so that we…

Kurniawan, Oka; Koh, Li Ling Apple; Cheng, Jermaine Zhi Min Cheng; Pee, Maggie – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Integrating knowledge across disciplines has been shown to be a challenging, and yet it is a necessary skill that university students need to develop. Students who are able to connect different concepts, perspectives, and angles of a given topic are generally more engaged and have better understanding. However, designing lesson plans or…

Mastery of quantitative skills is increasingly critical for student success in life sciences, but few curricula adequately incorporate quantitative skills. Quantitative Biology at Community Colleges (QB@CC) is designed to address this need by building a grassroots consortium of community college faculty to (1) engage in interdisciplinary…

Abraham, Liza; Stachow, Laura; Du, Hechao – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
We report a series of experiments based upon cinnamon oil that were developed to provide a practical integration of green and sustainable chemistry concepts for the organic chemistry laboratory. Five experiments centering around cinnamaldehyde as a green, plant-based chemical were performed by undergraduate students in a second-year organic…

Parish-Virtue, Katie; Johannisson-Wallman, Mikael; Pilkington, Lisa I.; Hsieh, Sally; Barker, David; Fedrizzi, Bruno – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The combination of organic synthesis and analytical chemistry into a related laboratory experiment is an excellent demonstration of the utility of making a compound to then be used further. Herein we describe an undergraduate laboratory experiment that involves the straightforward synthesis of an internal standard, ethyl 6-acetyloxyhexanoate, for…

Monga, Vishakha; Knox, Kerry J.; Gillis, Elizabeth A. L.; Stoodley, Robin; Bussiere, Guillaume; Rogers, Christine – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
The implementation of an integrated approach to upper-level undergraduate chemistry laboratory instruction that incorporates student choice both in the selection and sequencing of the experimental work is presented. The approach involves combining laboratory work in several traditional subdisciplinary areas of chemistry in a single course.…
