Direct linkAmedee Marchand Martella; Marsha C. Lovett; Lynnette Ramsay – Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, 2021
To investigate the variation in active learning used in college science courses, the authors analyzed 57 comparison studies published in three prominent science education journals. Focusing on three sources of variation--(a) the active learning activities, (b) other pedagogical features, and (c) course structure/design--they found that most…

Euler, Elias; Gregorcic, Bor – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Qualitative studies in the domain of physics education research have become more common in the last several decades. Methodologically, this has been marked by an expansion of the types of data collected in physics education research (PER): namely, in the use of individual and group interviews, problem-solving sessions, and classroom…

Pamela Medina; Waldo Quiroz – Journal of Biological Education, 2025
Within the scope of this investigation, educational instruments grounded on materialist ontology were employed to undertake a semantic analysis of the concepts of cell and the mechanisms of living organisms as they appear in biology and natural science textbooks. Drawing upon the ontological categories applied to distinct biological system levels,…

Sujatha Ramakrishnan – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The area of interest considered for the study was the overall academic achievement in biology lecture and laboratory courses using Bloom's Taxonomy. The problem of the study is the lack of higher-order thinking skills leading to a learning gap in many universities and colleges. The purpose of the quantitative correlational study was to determine…

Munawaroh, Siti; Sunandar, Ari; Qurbaniah, Mahwar – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2023
The development of e-module materials for the classification of living things based on scientific literacy and bio-ethnotaxonomy issues is still very limited. This study aims to develop e-modules for the classification of living things based on scientific literacy and bamboo ethnotaxonomy that are valid and suitable for use in learning. This…

Selina Thomas Mkimbili – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
This paper explores the extent to which Biology syllabi are open to students' engagement with and acquisition of critical thinking skills in Tanzania's developing country context. It focuses on the Biology syllabus of Ordinary-level secondary education and that of Advanced-level secondary education. The paper reports the findings of a study whose…

Figueiredo Rodrigues, Angélica Lúcia; Melo-Santos, Gabriel; Santos Baptista, Geilsa Costa; Robles-Piñeros, Jairo; da Silva, Maria Luisa – Science Education International, 2022
This study assessed the knowledge, feelings, and life experiences of students in public middle schools in the Brazilian Amazon toward aquatic mammals by applying semi-structured interviews, with a qualitative-quantitative approach. A total of 241 students, from all genders, aged between 12 and 14 years old, from four public schools of Pará State…

Yilmaz Soysal – Science & Education, 2025
This study developed a phenomenographic argument regarding science teacher educators' (STEs) question-asking conceptions. Question-asking in teaching how to teach science concepts to prospective science teachers is a fundamental strategy. However, STEs' conceptual understanding of the question-asking phenomenon is uncharted territory. The present…

O'Connell, Marcia L.; Grochau-Wright, Zachariah I.; Fisher, Christopher T. – American Biology Teacher, 2022
The damaging outcomes of racist ideologies continue to influence all aspects of society. This in spite of the fact that at their core these ideologies rely on a fundamentally false assumption: that biologically there are different races among humans. The source of this fallacy is pseudoscience and historical prejudice, and yet even scientists and…

Yun-Ping Ge; Wen-Jin Yang; Hak-Ping Tam – International Journal of Science Education, 2025
This study based on cognitive and social semiotic theories investigates whether the influence of specific features of instructional representation from adolescent textbook images could last until adulthood in certain cultures. Two cultural groups, Indonesian (n = 61) and Taiwanese (n = 60) college students, were recruited from a public Taiwanese…

Léonie J. Rennie – Teaching Science, 2024
The Australian Curriculum Science has "Patterns, Order and Organisation" as one of its six Key Ideas. In the biological sciences, the structural patterns revealed by observing living things are used to order and organise them in a hierarchical system of binomial nomenclature, in which living things have a generic name and a specific…

Gayle Geschwind; Micol Alemani; Michael F. J. Fox; P. S. W. M. Logman; Eugenio Tufino; H. J. Lewandowski – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2024
Physics education research (PER) is a global endeavor, with a wealth of work performed at a variety of institutions worldwide. However, results from research into undergraduate physics laboratory courses are often difficult to compare due to the broad variations in courses. We report here how we developed and validated a survey to classify these…

Stephen Adofo; Sirpa Kärkkäinen; Tuula Keinonen – Science Education International, 2024
This study examined integrated science questions of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) in Ghana at the end of grade 9. Results from BECE determine which senior high school a student can attend. Science questions (n = 751) over the span of eight years were analyzed in this study and viewed under the lens of the revised Bloom's…

dela Cruz, Thomas Edison E.; Olayta, Carlo Oliver M. – American Biology Teacher, 2022
Citizen science is a research collaboration between scientists and volunteers who provide data for education, conservation, and environmental protection. Volunteers, often the locals in the area, provide data on species occurrence while researchers perform distribution mapping or other data analysis. Social networking sites including Facebook,…

Online assessments are needed during the prevailing pandemic situation to continue educational activities while ensuring safety. After conducting the online practical assessment (OPrA) in Biochemistry, we analyzed the students' responses. The blueprint of the OPrA was prepared by the faculty, referring to the various levels and domains of Bloom's…
