Based on theoretical frameworks of scientist stereotypes, possible selves, and science identity, written assignments were developed to teach science content through biographies and research of counter-stereotypical scientists--Scientist Spotlights (www.scientistspotlights.org). Previous studies on Scientist Spotlight assignments showed significant…

Kenneth T. Johnson – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This paper is a proposal, project, and dissertation for Kenneth Johnson, Doctor of Philosophy degree in Science Education, in the Graduate College of The University of Iowa. I propose analyzing the writing assignment in an undergraduate online physics course offered by a small midwestern community college (CC). The goal is to study how Writing to…

To increase student interest and engagement in introductory chemistry courses for non-science majors, we incorporated a children's book project based on the chemistry discussed in class. Students were given agency in topic, target age range, and book format to encourage creativity, to integrate student interest and major, and to challenge…

Michelsen, Malte; Groß, Jorge; Paul, Jürgen; Messig, Denis – Science Education International, 2022
Dealing with students' conceptions is one of the central elements of student-oriented teaching. To be able to organize learning processes efficiently, it is necessary to look at the learners in a differentiated way and to approach their conceptions individually. The first necessary step is the individual diagnosis of each student's conceptions.…

Killpack, Tess L.; Popolizio, Thea R. – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2023
Laboratory courses can serve as important avenues to equitably support introductory biology students to develop foundational scientific literacy skills while experiencing the authentic research process. We present a model for an equity-focused redesign of an introductory organismal biology laboratory course at a teaching institution with limited…

Klucevsek, Kristin M. – Across the Disciplines, 2022
Students in the sciences learn to engage with primary research articles as a fundamental part of their discipline, essential to both writing and research. These sources are difficult to navigate, leading students to use (and misuse) these sources in a variety of complex ways. As instructors and researchers, we are aware of these challenges, but…

Rebecca Robertson Konz; Preethi Titu; Felicia Leammukda – Discover Education, 2024
Research suggests that by allowing English Learner (EL) students to use their home languages in science class, they can better express their thinking and build content knowledge through underlying crosslinguistic awareness between languages. However, EL students' educational backgrounds and home languages are incredibly varied. In this case study,…

Jong, Morris Siu-Yung – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2023
Flipped classroom (FC) is a "blended" instructional approach that requires students to complete pre-lecture individual learning tasks in preparation for participating in related in-lecture peer learning activities. One of the critical problems of FC has been students' lack of motivation to complete the assigned online pre-lecture tasks…

Reyna, Jorge – Research in Learning Technology, 2021
Digital media assignments empower students to become co-creators of knowledge rather than passive consumers of content. The Internet explosion and the affordability of digital technologies and devices such as smartphones, tablets and action cameras have created opportunities to use digital media in the classroom. This article aims to present an…

Liu, Shu-Chiu – International Journal of Science Education, 2019
Futures thinking, or foresight, is increasingly recognised as a key element in science and environmental education. We integrated a futures thinking activity into an undergraduate general science course in Taiwan by using an online thinking and discussion tool that provides scaffolding questions to help students think systematically about future…

Reyna, Jorge; Hanham, Jose; Vlachopoulos, Panos; Meier, Peter – Australasian Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
This research is a validation study of a survey instrument to assess student self-regulation which aims to fill a methodological gap by capturing self-regulation processes while completing learner-generated digital media (LGDM) assignments. For this purpose, the study developed and validated a self-regulation learning questionnaire. Data were…

Lavi, Rea; Dori, Yehudit Judy – International Journal of Science Education, 2019
Systems thinking is an important skill in science and engineering education. Our study objectives were (1) to create the basis for a systems thinking language common to both science education and engineering education, and (2) to apply this language to assess science and engineering teachers' systems thinking. We administered two assignments to…

Lee, Carrie W.; Lee, Tammy D.; Castles, Ricky; Dickerson, Daniel; Fales, Holly; Wilson, Christine M. – Journal of Interdisciplinary Teacher Leadership, 2018
This study investigated the influence of immersive classroom simulation activities on the development of elementary pre-service teachers in two separate mathematics and science education courses that simultaneously focus on pedagogy and content. Participants submitted written personal reflections about their teaching experiences using the…

Steele, Astrid; Ashworth, Elizabeth L. – Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2013
As teacher educators, we help prepare elementary generalist teacher-candidates (TCs) for traditional classrooms. In those classrooms, subjects are often taught in isolation rather than as integrated concepts and this practice is reflected in the program at the university where we teach art and science education. Because the world is…

Brownell, Sara E.; Price, Jordan V.; Steinman, Lawrence – Advances in Physiology Education, 2013
Most scientists agree that comprehension of primary scientific papers and communication of scientific concepts are two of the most important skills that we can teach, but few undergraduate biology courses make these explicit course goals. We designed an undergraduate neuroimmunology course that uses a writing-intensive format. Using a mixture of…
