Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) are attractive solutions for scaling undergraduate research experiences at primarily undergraduate teaching institutions, where resources for faculty research activities can be limited. The Sustainable Interdisciplinary Research to Inspire Undergraduate Success (SIRIUS) project is a unique…

Yu-ting Chen; Shu-mei Cao; Xing Liu; Jian Zhou – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
To improve the experimental interest and innovative ability of advanced undergraduate students, a luminescent sensing laboratory experiment with visual performance characteristics is introduced. Students have synthesized an organic hybrid cage-like europium-germanate oxo cluster with the formula of [Eu[subscript 8](phen) [subscript 2]Ge[subscript…

Wei Xiong; Huhu Yin; Xiujing Xing; Hao Li – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Although the present university-level chemistry experimental curriculum has been extensive and well-designed, it lacks a connection with the scientific research field, especially the frontier field. It is crucial to incorporate recent discoveries through new experiment designs to bridge this gap and boost the value of the undergraduate…

Undergraduate physics and astronomy students are expected to engage with scientific literature as they begin their research careers, yet reading comprehension skills are rarely explicitly taught in major courses. We seek to determine the efficacy of a reading assignment designed to improve undergraduate astronomy (or related) majors' perceived…

Helen Urpi Wagner-Coello; Maria Elena Villar; Matthew DeGennaro – Discover Education, 2024
Citizen science is recognized as an important tool to engage the public in important scientific and environmental issues that impact them. Mosquito surveillance-based citizen science in college curricula have not received much attention even though its usage has the potential to actively engage students in inquiry and elevate student support for…

Susan Poland – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The field of science education has long advocated for students to leave K-12 education with an appreciation for the diversity of research methods scientists employ in order to effectively engage with research generated across many scientific fields of study. Yet, research has indicated that students typically believe research proceeds according to…

Joseph S. Elias – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
We report the design of a low-cost electrochemical workstation and open-source graphical user interface capable of performing a variety of electrochemical methods in an undergraduate teaching laboratory. The instrument--based on the popular Arduino microcontroller board--can be constructed from common components for $40 USD. The modular design of…

Scientific writing skills were an essential competency for biology students in preparing effective research reports because they enabled students to communicate their research findings clearly and professionally. These skills were crucial for ensuring that students could present their work in a manner that adhered to scientific standards,…

Bertram, Anna; Tomas, Carmen – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Engaging students actively in assessment, using a range of formative activities, consistently over sustained periods is a common recommendation in the assessment for learning literature. Despite this, practice still lags behind. Our case study aims to bridge the widening gap between theory and practice by illustrating the application of recent…

Dorn, Stanna K.; Newman, Jane D.; van Kessel, Julia C.; Brown, Laura C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
We have developed a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) that can be carried out in the context of an existing second-semester or upper-level organic laboratory course. In this three-week laboratory module, students synthesize a small library of molecules, test them in a robust biological assay, and design a new compound library…

Pence, Harry E. – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2023
Despite the current interest in Open Science in the scientific community, it is not clear if Open Science will succeed in higher education. Open Science is based on three basic ideas: open data, open results, and open publication. If these principles can be successfully implemented, it will allow for much greater participation in the scientific…

Advancing equity and justice in undergraduate biology education requires research to address the experiences of disabled students. Scholars working in disability studies have developed models of disability that inform Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER). To date, DBER literature has been predominantly informed by the medical and social…

Rui-tang Guo; Cheng Xia; Wei-guo Pan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The chemical experiment is designed for undergraduates majoring in chemistry, energy, and environment. The intended purpose is that the students will comprehend the reaction mechanism of photocatalytic reduction of CO[subscript 2] through hands-on experiments and deepen their understanding of sustainable energy technologies. More importantly, the…

Allen, William E.; Hosbein, Kathryn N.; Kennedy, Anthony M.; Whiting, Brandon; Walker, Joi P. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This manuscript describes the implementation of a Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) sequence in chemistry that uses research to link a lower division, organic chemistry course to an upper-division, analytical chemistry course. In the CURE sequence, students created a library of modified sugar molecules during CURE-1, Organic,…

We present a course-embedded undergraduate research module that involves real-time polymerase chain reaction testing for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in environmental samples. A positive control RNA was constructed and two RNA extraction methods were compared and a range of primers were available to compare. Using a combination of published…
