Direct linkKaya, Fatih; Kaya, M. Talha; Kaya, Sumeyye – Journal for the Education of the Gifted, 2023
Research consistently reports a moderate to a strong relationship between intelligence and academic performance. For about a century, the concept of intelligence has often been used in the definition of giftedness and the identification of gifted students along with other data sources, although some experts are against it. An understanding of…

Yan, Jingmin; Chen, Jiangao; Mao, Xuhu; Li, Qian – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
As a universal and extensively adopted technique, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can be used to detect and quantify small molecules in many applications both clinical and analytical. However, generally, students experiment mechanically using commercial ELISA kits according to the instructions and eventually produce a standard curve to…

Moore-Anderson, Christian – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
In the context of England, secondary biology education is dominated by sub-organismal systems, such as physiology, often to the detriment of evolution & ecology and impeding an integrated understanding of biology. This paper proposes a framework that teachers could use to help them consider how the learning of physiological and developmental…

Understanding genetics, an important topic in the study of biology, is critical for scientific literacy in agriculture, health, and forensic investigations. However, it has been observed that teachers find genetics difficult to teach and pupils do not perform well in it. Teachers can use expository teaching or active learning methods, but the…

Kagey – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2023
The Fly-CURE is a genetics-focused multi-institutional Course-Based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) that provides undergraduate students with hands-on research experiences within a course. Through the Fly-CURE, undergraduate students at diverse types of higher education institutions across the United States map and characterize novel…

Merita Xhetani; Kristjana Lapi – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2023
Students in high school tend to find genetics difficult to learn because it requires some crosslinked knowledge about subjects like genes, proteins, cells, tissues as well as organs and systems. It also becomes more difficult to connect and explain concepts such as the gene expression at the level of the cell to conceptualize the effect of the…

Tapprich, William E.; Reichart, Letitia; Simon, Dawn M.; Duncan, Garry; McClung, William; Grandgenett, Neal; Pauley, Mark A. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
The lack of an instructional definition of bioinformatics delays its effective integration into biology coursework. Using an iterative process, our team of biologists, a mathematician/computer scientist, and a bioinformatician together with an educational evaluation and assessment specialist, developed an instructional definition of the…

Warne, Russell T. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2021
Recent findings in behavioral genetics and technological advances have the potential to alter education administration in ways that were inconceivable just a decade ago. Specifically, new understandings about the heritability of educational outcomes and the ability to calculate polygenic scores that predict likely student outcomes could change how…

Russell, Ian; Pearson, Beth; Masic, Una – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Literature has documented inflated rates of features associated with autism spectrum (AS) in clinic referred, gender diverse young people. This study examined scores on the Social Responsiveness Scale, Second Edition (SRS-2) over time in a group of clinic referred, gender diverse adolescents accessing gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues…

Martin, Kiley; Musaus, Madeline; Navabpour, Shaghayegh; Gustin, Aspen; Ray, W. Keith; Helm, Richard F.; Jarome, Timothy J. – Learning & Memory, 2021
Strong evidence supports a role for protein degradation in fear memory formation. However, these data have been largely done in only male animals. Here, we found that following contextual fear conditioning, females, but not males, had increased levels of proteasome activity and K48 polyubiquitin protein targeting in the dorsal hippocampus, the…

Cerniglia, Luca; Cimino, Silvia; Bevilacqua, Arturo; Ballarotto, Giulia; Marzilli, Eleonora; Adriani, Walter; Tambelli, Renata – European Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2021
While accumulating literature is demonstrating the role of the dopamine transporter (DAT) in predicting emotional-behavioural difficulties in adults of at risk populations, only few studies have focused on the possible association between the methylation status of the DAT promoter and the psychopathological risk of mothers, fathers and children in…

Bruno Sauce; John Wiedenhoeft; Nicholas Judd; Torkel Klingberg – npj Science of Learning, 2021
The interplay of genetic and environmental factors behind cognitive development has preoccupied multiple fields of science and sparked heated debates over the decades. Here we tested the hypothesis that developmental genes rely heavily on cognitive challenges - as opposed to natural maturation. Starting with a polygenic score (cogPGS) that…

Cory Kohn – ProQuest LLC, 2021
The creation and evaluation of known evolutionary histories and the implementation of student investigatory experiences on evolution are difficult endeavors that have only recently been feasible. The research presented in this dissertation is related in their shared use of digital evolution with Avidians as a model study system, both to conduct…

Latent Class Analysis Identifies Distinctive Behavioral Subtypes in Children with Fragile X Syndrome
Walter E. Kaufmann; Melissa Raspa; Carla M. Bann; Julia M. Gable; Holly K. Harris; Dejan B. Budimirovic; Reymundo Lozano – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is characterized by variable neurobehavioral abnormalities, which leads to difficulties in developing and evaluating treatments and in determining accurate prognosis. We employed a pediatric cross-sectional sample (1,072 males, 338 females) from FORWARD, a clinic-based natural history study, to identify behavioral subtypes…

Olivia Boorom; Heather Fielding-Gebhardt; Shelley Bredin-Oja; Kandace Fleming; Rebecca E. Swinburne Romine; Nancy Brady – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Individuals with fragile X syndrome (FXS) and their parents have a range of experiences navigating the crucial transition period between adolescence and adulthood. Semi structured interviews of 47 mothers of adolescents with FXS (mean child age = 15.89 years) were analyzed to identify mothers' changing expectations during the adolescent period and…
