Individuals with disabilities are underrepresented in postsecondary science education and in science careers, yet few studies have explored why this may be. A primary predictor of student persistence in science is participating in undergraduate research. However, it is unclear to what extent students with disabilities are participating in research…

Cooper, Katelyn M.; Cala, Jacqueline M.; Brownell, Sara E. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2021
Background: Undergraduate research experiences are becoming essential for pursuing future opportunities in science, but little has been done to identify what factors predict which students get to participate in research and which students do not. In this manuscript, we propose "scientific research capital" and specifically…

Cooper, Katelyn M.; Eddy, Sarah L.; Brownell, Sara E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Undergraduate research is lauded as a high-impact practice owing to the array of benefits that students can reap from participating. One unexplored construct that may affect student intent to persist in research is research anxiety, defined as the sense of worry or apprehension associated with conducting research. In this study, we surveyed 1272…

Youngblood, Jacob P.; Webb, Emily A.; Gin, Logan E.; van Leusen, Peter; Henry, Joanna R.; VandenBrooks, John M.; Brownell, Sara E. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
Student enrollments in online college courses have grown steadily over the past decade, and college administrators expect this trend to continue or accelerate. Despite the growing popularity of online education, one major critique in the sciences is that students are not trained in the hands-on skills they may need for the workforce, graduate…

Evolution is one of the most important concepts in biology, but it is rejected by a substantial percentage of religious students due to a perceived conflict with their religious beliefs. The use of religious cultural competence in evolution education (ReCCEE) has been shown to effectively increase evolution acceptance among religious students…

Abraham, Anna E.; Busch, Carly A.; Brownell, Sara E.; Cooper, Katelyn M. – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2022
Student incivility, defined as a student behavior perceived to be disrespectful or disruptive to the overall learning environment in a course, can negatively affect the science learning environment and instructors. The transition to online science courses during the COVID-19 pandemic created a unique environment for student incivility to take…

Gin, Logan E.; Pais, Danielle C.; Parrish, Kristen D.; Brownell, Sara E.; Cooper, Katelyn M. – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in nearly all universities transitioning their in-person courses to online instruction. Recent work from our research team conducted in Spring 2020 established that the immediate transition to online learning presented novel challenges for students with disabilities: students were unable to access previously…

Undergraduate research is one of the most valuable activities an undergraduate can engage in because of its benefits, and studies have shown that longer experiences are more beneficial. However, prior research has illuminated that undergraduates encounter challenges that may cause them to exit research prematurely. These studies have been almost…

Barnes, M. Elizabeth; Supriya, K.; Zheng, Yi; Roberts, Julie A.; Brownell, Sara E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Evolution is controversial among students and religiosity, religious affiliation, understanding of evolution, and demographics are predictors of evolution acceptance. However, quantitative research has not explored the unique impact of student perceived conflict between their religion and evolution as a major factor influencing evolution…

The "Vision and Change" report called for the biology community to mobilize around teaching the core concepts of biology. This essay describes a collection of resources developed by several different groups that can be used to respond to the report's call to transform undergraduate education at both the individual course and departmental…

Busch, Carly A.; Supriya, K.; Cooper, Katelyn M.; Brownell, Sara E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Sharing personal information can help instructors build relationships with students, and instructors revealing concealable stigmatized identities (CSIs) may be particularly impactful. One CSI is the LGBTQ+ identity, but there has been no research on the student-perceived impact of an instructor revealing this identity. In this exploratory study…

Anxiety is the top mental health concern for undergraduates. While researchers have identified ways that in-person science courses can affect anxiety, little is known about how online science courses affect anxiety. In this study, 2111 undergraduates at a large research-intensive institution completed survey questions about their anxiety in…

The "Vision and Change" report provides a nationally agreed upon framework of core concepts that undergraduate biology students should master by graduation. While identifying these concepts was an important first step, departments also need ways to measure the extent to which students understand these concepts. Here, we present the…

Cooper, Katelyn M.; Gin, Logan E.; Brownell, Sara E. – International Journal of STEM Education, 2020
Background: Concealable stigmatized identities (CSIs) are identities that can be kept hidden or invisible and that carry negative stereotypes. Depression is one of the most common CSIs among undergraduates. However, to our knowledge, no studies have explored how students manage depression as a CSI in the context of undergraduate research, a…

Cooper, Katelyn M.; Blattman, Joseph N.; Hendrix, Taija; Brownell, Sara E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been shown to lead to multiple student benefits, but much is unknown about how CUREs lead to specific student outcomes. In this study, we examined the extent to which students making "broadly relevant novel discoveries" impacted student project ownership by comparing the…
