Enzymes are widely applied in different industries, like pharmaceutical, food, biofuel, and waste valorization. However, the enzyme operating conditions are very limited. So, in most industrial processes, enzymes are not efficient, due to the use of harsh conditions, like organic solvents, extreme pH, and temperature. Immobilization arises as a…

Baier, Franziska; Maurer, Christina; Dignath, Charlotte; Kunter, Mareike – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2021
As knowledge derived from scientific theory can be helpful for teachers to reflect on their everyday teaching, universities have the challenging task of teaching this knowledge in such a way that pre-service teachers are able to apply it to their later teaching. Case-based learning has emerged as a promising method to foster pre-service teachers'…

Switching from face-to-face learning to mandatory online education during the coronavirus pandemic brought much uncertainty and new experiences for undergraduate students who were unfamiliar with that type of learning. This research aimed to identify perceptions and experiences of preservice [PST] teachers about taking science courses online in…

Alstein, Paul; Krijtenburg-Lewerissa, Kim; van Joolingen, Wouter R. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
This review presents an overview and analysis of the body of research on special relativity theory (SRT) education at the secondary and lower undergraduate level. There is currently a growing international interest in implementing SRT in pre-university education as an introduction to modern physics. For this reason, insights into learning…

This study is the result of a quantitative analysis of the previous paper reporting on four cases in which an LED is turned on by charge transfer occurring during the electrostatic induction process in a conductor connected to the LED. We were able to measure the charge transfer by using charge sensors and analyze experimental results by applying…

Lodge, Wilton; Reiss, Michael J. – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
The gender gap in post-compulsory science education remains a key concern for educators in many countries. Over the last two decades significant effort has been placed in a number of initiatives aimed not only at raising the profile of science in schools, but also at widening female participation. Despite these initiatives, the rate of female…

Sideri, Andriani; Skoumios, Michael – Science Education International, 2021
Science process skills play an essential role in science education. The research assessing these skills in school science textbooks is limited. The aim of the current study was to examine the involvement of science process skills in the content of science school textbooks of the last two primary school grades in Greece. A specific analysis…

Lang, Vanessa; Eckert, Christine; Perels, Franziska; Kay, Christopher W. M.; Seibert, Johann – Education Sciences, 2021
Models are essential in science and therefore in scientific literacy. Therefore, pupils need to attain competency in the appropriate use of models. This so-called model--methodical competence distinguishes between model competence (the conceptual part) and modelling competence (the procedural part), wherefrom a definition follows a general…

Zhang, Lin; Cobern, William W. – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2021
We are writing in response to the Aditomo and Klieme article titled "Forms of inquiry based science instruction and their relations with learning outcomes: evidence from high and low-performing education systems," recently published in the "International Journal of Science Education." In this essay, we follow these authors and…

Sansom, Rebecca L.; Clinton-Lisell, Virginia; Fischer, Lane – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
General chemistry is a gateway course for most STEM majors, so student success is a priority for chemistry faculty. Providing quality information resources for students, including textbooks, is one way that instructors can support student learning. However, these resources can be prohibitively expensive for some students, causing them to opt out…

Duerden, Amanda; Moon, Nicole; Grubbs, G. S., II – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Few laboratory exercises exist that introduce undergraduate students to both the concepts and instrumentation used in rotational spectroscopy. Because of this gap in undergraduate laboratory training, a teaching laboratory for the pure rotational spectroscopy of benzonitrile has been developed and reported. Owing to benzonitrile's recent discovery…

Bush, Eliot C.; Adolph, Stephen C.; Donaldson-Matasci, Matina C.; Hur, Jae; Schulz, Danae – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2021
This paper describes an introductory biology course for undergraduates that heavily incorporates quantitative problem solving in activities and homework assignments. The course is broken up into a series of units, each organized around a motivating biological question or theme. Homework assignments address the theme or question, and typically…

For some professionally, vocationally, or technically oriented careers, curricula delivered in higher education establishments may focus on teaching material related to a single discipline. By contrast, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary teaching(MITT) results in improved affective and cognitive learning and critical…

DiLisi, Gregory A.; Chaney, Alison; Kane, Kenneth; Leskovec, Robert A. – Physics Teacher, 2021
Over the past several years, we have contributed articles to "TPT" that focus on a forensics-style reexamination of significant historical events. The purpose of these articles is to afford students the opportunity to apply basic principles of physics to unsolved mysteries and potentially settle the historical debate. We assembled the…
