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…

Ling, Yizhou; Chen, Pengwen; Wang, Jingying; Chen, Kai; Ren, Hongyan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
In this study, an innovative scientific modeling course on concentration cells is designed: First, the demonstrations revealed examples of three different concentration cells. Then, scientific models visualizing the process and principle of cell reactions at the level of microparticulates were introduced to students. Finally, three new…

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…

Dew, Matthew; Ford, Lewis; Nodurft, Dawson T.; Erukhimova, Tatiana; Perry, Jonathan – Physics Teacher, 2021
As a result of the spread of COVID-19 during spring 2020, many colleges and universities across the U.S., and beyond, were compelled to move entirely to remote, online instruction, or shut down. Due to the rapidity of this transition, instructors had to significantly--if not completely--change their instructional style on very short notice. Our…

Jain, Paras; Singh, Sneha; Arya, Aditya – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Mitochondrial beta-oxidation is one of the most common modes of fatty acids' oxidation in most organisms, particularly mammals. Biochemistry undergraduate curriculum often contains the description of the process, with emphasis on ATP calculations for various types of fatty acids. During our decade long teaching experience in biochemistry, we…

This study, which was reviewed through the Registered Report process, examined the initial efficacy of the Scientific Explorers program (Sci2) on second-grade students' science achievement. Sci2 is grounded in the growing body of empirical research on science instruction, embedding principles of explicit instruction within a guided inquiry-based…

Franco, Luiz Gustavo; Munford, Danusa – Research in Science Education, 2021
One of the challenges for analysing science classroom discourse is a better understanding of intercontextual relationships in the learning process. In this paper, we used orientations from ethnography in education to organise and propose an analytical metaphor called the hourglass approach. It involves three phases of analysis that correspond to…

The purpose of this mixed-methods research was to investigate changes in preservice elementary teachers' science teaching beliefs and explain how these beliefs influence the way these teachers interpret their science teaching and learning experiences. Supported by the theoretical underpinnings of teacher beliefs and drawings as a tool to…

Karampelas, Konstantinos – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2021
This research aims to identify the trends in the field of science education, during the last decade. Generally, these trends are compatible with the developments in the field of science education, which mostly emphasize teaching practices and methods. Similar projects have been carried out during previous decades, focusing on research articles…

Gupte, Trisha; Watts, Field M.; Schmidt-McCormack, Jennifer A.; Zaimi, Ina; Gere, Anne Ruggles; Shultz, Ginger V. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2021
Teaching organic chemistry requires supporting learning strategies that meaningfully engage students with the challenging concepts and advanced problem-solving skills needed to be successful. Such meaningful learning experiences should encourage students to actively choose to incorporate new concepts into their existing knowledge frameworks by…

Reid, Scott A.; MacBride, Laura; Nobile, Llanie; Fiedler, Adam T.; Gardinier, James R. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2021
General chemistry courses are key gateways for many Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) majors. Here, we report on the implementation and evaluation of an adaptive, ALEKS-based online preparatory module (PM) for general chemistry. The module was made available in Summer 2018 at no cost to all students entering any section of…

Zhang, Hongyang; Wink, Donald J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This paper uses evidence-centered assessment design (ECD) to structure and analyze a laboratory activity where students collect and represent titration curve data to determine acid strength in terms of molarity and dissociation constant. Following principles of multidimensional learning, the activity prompts students to demonstrate knowledge of…

The United States is divided into 15 broad ecological regions, each one home to a variety of fascinating native plants. In the Southwest, creosote bushes are found in and around the Mojave, Chihuahuan, and Sonoran deserts at elevations below 5,000 feet and is one of the oldest living things on Earth--approximately 11,700 years old. This evergreen…
