Shannon L. W. Accettone; Cassandra DeFrancesco; Cole Alexander King; Monique K. Lariviere – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Laboratory skills assignments were developed as a novel approach to providing students with the opportunity to engage in hands-on laboratory skills development outside of the lab during the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, the assignments were implemented within a second-year forensic chemistry course of 48 students and redesigned and modified to be…

Holly Ryan; Daniel Abramov; Samantha Acker; Sydney Elkins – Thresholds in Education, 2025
This paper explores the complexities of co-authorship involving generative AI in academic contexts, focusing on an honors English class where students engaged with AI tools like ChatGPT. It critiques the boundaries of authorship as defined by COPE, which argues AI cannot be an author due to its lack of accountability. The study explores the…

Kathy Nomme; Rhea Storlund; Christine Goedhart; Silvia Mazabel; Chin Sun; Bernardita Germano – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2025
We investigated the impact of an assignment wrapper in promoting self-regulation of learning in a series of written assignments for a First-Year Biology laboratory. Students completed a planning survey prior to submitting an Introduction assignment. Upon receipt of the graded Introduction, students completed an assignment wrapper, two more written…

Garza, Nicholas F.; Finkenstaedt-Quinn, Solaire A.; Shultz, Ginger V.; Zimmerman, Steven C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Organic chemistry courses enroll students from many majors with diverse interests. Although instructors may strive to appeal to these interests by relating course content to real life, it is challenging to intrinsically appeal to students at the personal level, particularly in high enrollment courses like organic chemistry. When students identify…

Wenner, Julianne A.; Carney, Michele – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2023
Given the myriad mandates and policies related to math and language arts education, U.S. public elementary teachers must "care about" teaching science for it to actually happen. Consequently, this study sought to explore the impacts of assignments in a science methods course supporting teacher candidates (TCs) in "caring about"…

Ina Zaimi; Amber J. Dood; Ginger V. Shultz – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Asking students to explain why phenomena occur at a molecular level is vital to increasing their understanding of chemistry concepts. One way to elicit students' mechanistic reasoning and guide construction of knowledge is through Writing-to-Learn (WTL), which is a promising approach for students in organic chemistry courses. In the design of WTL…

Grace, Emily; Griffis, Rachel B. – International Journal of Christianity & Education, 2018
This article is a small empirical study based on two assignments, both involving reading and writing, in two physics courses at a Christian college. Students read theological, philosophical, and scientific arguments and produced research papers. By performing interdisciplinary intellectual work, students considered the compatibility of science and…

Essop, M. Faadiel; Beselaar, Leandrie – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
Although there is increased uptake of active learning approaches in especially developed countries, this is still lagging within the African context. The current study therefore focused on the implementation of group learning at Stellenbosch University, with several modifications versus our earlier, pilot study. Students freely formed small groups…

Jones, Jeff C.; Bassett, Gennie M.; Lescalleet, Jacob L.; Wingert, Jason R. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
CRISPR technologies are among the most powerful advancements in modern biology because they accurately manipulate the genomes of living cells and have the potential of curing various genetic diseases. This study examined the attitudes of undergraduate health science students towards somatic cell and germline gene editing therapies and whether…

Anne Yu; Raul Navarro; Lilly E. Linden; Junko Anderson – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The documentary "Picture a Scientist" was adapted into a discussion-based laboratory assignment for organic chemistry students in an effort to open conversations about racism and gender-based harassment in STEM. The viewing of the documentary was scaffolded to prepare students to have a meaningful experience and to help manage and…

Wack, Jason; Jaeger, Collin; Yuan, Shupei; Bergan-Roller, Heather E. – American Biology Teacher, 2021
Communicating science with nonexperts (SciComm) is an important scientific practice. SciComm can inform decision making and public policies. Recently, seminal reports have indicated that SciComm is a practice in which students should engage. Unfortunately, students have few opportunities to engage in SciComm, partially due to the absence of a…

Danowitz, Amy M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Peer learning has become a central feature in many postsecondary classrooms. Many peer learning activities feature near-peer instructors who had previously completed the course and who later serve as peer leaders. There are relatively few examples of activities in which students in a course act as true peer instructors for their classmates. One…
