Dykes, Jeff; Johnson, Kathleen; Cousins, Julia; Simpson, Leo; Hull, Iver – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2021
We used a novel approach that combined direct PCR of plant tissue and SRAP DNA fingerprinting to seek to identify the crosses made in "Brassica rapa" used in the Wisconsin Fast Plants. Our goal was to develop a rapid method for students to use in a biology, botany, or genetics class to identify the parental types (purple stem, non-purple…

Wong, Wing-Kwong; Chen, Kai-Ping; Chang, Hong-Ming – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
This research aimed to explore the effects of a virtual lab (VL) and a Microcomputer-based Lab (MBL) on students' performance in scientific modeling. A web-based virtual lab and a low-cost MBL were proposed to help first-year engineering students build scientific models. Empirical research was done in a slope motion experiment. The participants…

Thomas, N. Lizabeth; Harakas, George N. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Lampworking is a valuable skill for students in Chemistry and others in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) related fields. The activity described here provides instructors the resources to both learn and teach the fundamentals of lampworking. Soft glass, which can be shaped and fused with a Bunsen burner, is used to improve the…

Ekkens, Tom – Physics Teacher, 2020
Semiconductor devices, usually made from silicon wafers, are present in the electronic gadgets that we use on a daily basis. In an introductory physics class, the textbook usually devotes a few pages to these devices and moves on. As a result, students may readily forget the material or fail to see how it relates to their lives. A solution is to…

Samoila, Cornel; Ursutiu, Doru – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2021
Contribution: From the moment when universities began to talk about learning environment instead of classes and schools, a summative notion that entails knowledge transfer heralds an important stage of redefining the basic elements of learning. A learning environment requires the transition from learning rounding off toward open learning, without…

Mark W. Patterson; Teresa P. Raczek – Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 2025
To improve student outcomes in four-credit asynchronous online physical geography classes that included a lab component, we employed three different experimental techniques in spring 2022. Fifteen faculty who collectively taught 24 sections of Introduction to Landforms or Weather and Climate modified one element of their course to foster improved…

Thiago Costa Caetano; Camila Cardoso Moreira; Mikael Frank Rezende Junior – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: This work seeks to ascertain the validity of a remote-controlled experiment of the Physics Remote Lab in the educational context, specifically among students from engineering courses. Background: In 2012, it has been started the development of the Physics Remote Lab at the Federal University of Itajubá, Brazil, a laboratory with a…

Schnieder, Maren; Williams, Sheryl; Ghosh, Sourav – Education Sciences, 2022
The paper compares the effectiveness of in-person and virtual engineering laboratory sessions. The in-person and virtual laboratory sessions reported here comprise six experiments combined with short tutorials. The virtual lab combined enquiry-based learning and gamification principles. The integration of the virtual labs with in-person teaching…

Kilmer, Nelson; Krehbiel, Joel D. – Physics Teacher, 2019
Gay-Lussac's law states that the pressure of an ideal gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature if the volume is constant. Students observe this relationship by taking measurements on the pressure of gas in a flask or metal sphere at different temperatures and then extrapolate the data to estimate absolute zero. In our college…

Fernandes, Vitor Borsatto; Tavares, Igor Ferreira; Magalhães, Giovana de Aquino; de Oliveira Prado, Danielle Gonçalves; de Oliveira Prado, Isabelle Gonçalves; Vieira, Lucas Augusto – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2022
Brazil is a country that does not invest enough in basic education, thus leaving a gap in the knowledge of young people studying in public schools and jeopardizing their future. One of the main ways to get into college in Brazil is through the National High School Exam (ENEM), a multiple-choice test administered by the National Institute of…

Giulia Panzarella; Gianmarco Gualtieri; Isabella Romeo; Stefano Alcaro – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
A qualified teaching method is hard to achieve without traditional classroom lessons. For learning purposes, students need to interact and influence each other, like being part of an osmotic process. They need to learn in a stimulating environment, developing the ability to manage conflicts and to compare opinions. How can this be possible during…

Schubert, Jan Christoph – Review of International Geographical Education, 2021
Experiments are an important way of working in the geography classroom. They promote and require numerous geographic skills. At the same time, experiments are only used comparatively rarely in geography lessons in Germany. In order to increase the frequency of experiments in the classroom and to better exploit their potential, GeoBoxes have been…

Monnier, Virginie; Phaner-Goutorbe, Magali – Science Teacher, 2021
Among the new educational tools and new ways of teaching/learning of the last 20 years, educational approaches based on constructivism are of great interest because they offer the possibility for students to build scientific concepts from experimental observations. Cooking is truly a universal topic--it can be considered a true multidisciplinary…

Mataniari, Raissa; Willison, John; Effendi Hasibuan, M. H.; Sulistiyo, Urip; Dewi, Fatria – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2020
Because critical thinking is essential for scientific learning, academics and casual staff struggle to effectively develop students' critical thinking. This study examined the integration of the Research Skill Development (RSD) framework into a Biology course in an Indonesian University and tested how it helped academics and casual staff develop…

Ortigosa, Francisco; Valderrama-Martín, José M.; Ávila, Concepción; Cánovas, Francisco M.; Cañas, Rafael A. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
Plant nitrogen nutrition is an essential topic in biology that should be included in scientific education. Nitrogen availability is one of the primary limiting factors for plant growth, and these organisms are the primary support for the pluricellular terrestrial life, since they are the fundamental group of autotrophs. For this reason, the use of…
