Ruifeng Zhou – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
This study aims to give chemistry students a deeper understanding of electron shielding and quantum transitions by interpreting the characteristic X-ray lines. There is a popular misunderstanding among learners and even teachers in which an outer-shell electron fills a vacancy in the inner shell, releasing some of its energy as an X-ray photon.…

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…

Abstract Targeted metagenomics is a rapidly expanding technology to analyze complex biological samples and genetic monitoring of environmental samples. In this research field, data analytical aspects play a crucial role. In order to teach targeted metagenomics data analysis, we developed a 4-week inquiry-driven modular course-based undergraduate…

Towse, John; Davies, Rob; Ball, Ellie; James, Rebecca; Gooding, Ben; Ivory, Matthew – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2022
We advocate for greater emphasis in training students about data management, within the context of supporting experience in reproducible workflows. We introduce the "L"ancaster "U"niversity "ST"atistics "RE"sources (LUSTRE) package, used to manage student research project data in psychology and build…

Lisa Bosman; Esteban Soto; Jason Ostanek; Jose Garcia-Bravo; Sunghwan Lee; Walter Leon-Salas – Journal of Applied Research in Higher Education, 2024
Purpose: The National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) programs are traditionally delivered in-person and full-time (40 h per week) for 10 weeks during the summer. However, this type of format has the potential to limit broader student participation. This study aims to compare learning assessment data between a…

Lau, Jamie K.; Paterniti, Madison; Stefaniak, Kristina R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
We designed a collaborative course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) between an Analytical Chemistry course and an Environmental Toxicology course to engage students in a research project that cannot rely on one discipline alone. This study reports on 47 students' self-reported experiences with the course outcomes and their opinions…

Vekkaila, Jenna; Virtanen, Viivi; Kukkola, Jani; Frick, Liezel; Pyhältö, Kirsi – Frontline Learning Research, 2019
Knowledge creation is at the core of scientific endeavour. As early career researchers, doctoral students take part in knowledge creation through engaging in various knowledge practices and make their original contribution to knowledge, and become experts in their particular domain. However, our understanding of what doctoral knowledge practices…

Grahe, Jon E; Cuccolo, Kelly; Leighton, Dana C; Cramblet Alvarez, Leslie D – Psychology Learning and Teaching, 2020
Open science initiatives, which are often collaborative efforts focused on making research more transparent, have experienced increasing popularity in the past decade. Open science principles of openness and transparency provide opportunities to advance diversity, justice, and sustainability by promoting diverse, just, and sustainable outcomes…

Ebenezer, Jazlin; Kaya, Osman Nafiz; Kassab, Dima – Research in Science Education, 2020
The purpose of this investigation was to qualitatively describe high school students' reasons for their science dispositions (attitude, perception, and self-confidence) based on their long-term experience with innovative technology-embedded environmental research projects. Students in small groups conducted research projects in and out of school…

Sommers, Daniël; Baarends, Willy M.; Colgrove, Johanna C.; Chaves, Inês; van der Sanden Maarten C. A.; Nonnekens, Julie – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2020
During the COVID-19 pandemic, laboratory research was not possible in different educational programs at Delft University of Technology and Erasmus University Medical Center due to the taken measures. Therefore, a team of faculty from both institutions developed an alternative transdisciplinary research group project that was fully performed…

Bjørkvold, Tuva; Blikstad-Balas, Marte – Science Education, 2018
All scientists depend on both reading and writing to do their scientific work. It is of paramount importance to ensure that students have a relevant repertoire of practices they can employ when facing scientific content inside and outside the school context. The present study reports on students in seventh grade acting as researchers. Over an…

Shuster, Michèle I.; Curtiss, Jennifer; Wright, Timothy F.; Champion, Camilla; Sharifi, Maryam; Bosland, Judith – Interdisciplinary Journal of Problem-based Learning, 2019
We are examining the impact of a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE) at a land-grant, Hispanic-serving institution in the southwestern United States. Students in our CURE completed one or two extended research projects over a single semester. Our CURE enrolled a high proportion of underrepresented minority students (70.3%),…

Ward, Alexandra M.; Wyllie, Graeme R. A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
We report here a second semester general chemistry laboratory project themed around chitosan-alginate bioplastics. With increasing awareness of plastic pollution in the environment and the awareness of the importance for materials which are either made from renewable resources or are biodegradable, this topic provides a relevant opportunity to…

Shanle, Erin K.; Tsun, Ian K.; Strahl, Brian D. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2016
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) provide an opportunity for students to engage in experiments with outcomes that are unknown to both the instructor and students. These experiences allow students and instructors to collaboratively bridge the research laboratory and classroom, and provide research experiences for a large…
