Direct linkNoel Gough – Gender and Education, 2024
This essay offers a rationale for deploying ecofeminist science fiction stories as object-oriented thought experiments in science and environmental education, with particular reference to developments in genetics and evolutionary biology, and their implications for human (and more-than-human) reproduction and kinship in the period following the…

Samuelsson, Robin – Mind, Brain, and Education, 2023
There is a renewed scientific interest in the role of childhood in human evolution, pointing to the explorative phase of a human's life history that shapes how children learn and develop. This study presents a synthesis from evolutionary sciences that considers biases in childhood learning through activities in play, exploration, and social…

Goddard, Murray J. – Journal of Creative Behavior, 2022
Despite widespread misunderstandings, B.F. Skinner did not ignore creativity. The present article first integrates Skinner's writings with some current research in creativity that focuses on the role of near associations in creative innovations. Next, Skinner's writings are integrated with the role of the unconscious in creativity, including some…

Adam B. Lockwood – Communique, 2025
The Red Queen effect takes its name from a scene in Lewis Carroll's "Through the Looking-Glass," where Alice and the Red Queen are constantly running, yet remain in the same place relative to one another. In competitive ecosystems, this translates to the idea that, "in order to survive, a technology solution must evolve faster just…

Jon D. Miller; Belén Laspra; Carmelo Polino; Glenn Branch; Robert T. Pennock; Mark S. Ackerman – Sage Research Methods Cases, 2025
This case study focuses on a longitudinal study of changes in public acceptance of evolution in the United States. Change over time is often a central issue in social science research questions. There are two kinds of change over time. Time-series studies address change in populations or groups over time. Longitudinal studies address changes in…

Adam Laats – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2024
Jenna Scaramanga and Michael Reiss, in their article, "Evolutionary Stasis: Creationism, Evolution and Climate Change in the Accelerated Christian Education curriculum," examine multiple editions of science materials produced by Accelerated Christian Education, ranging from the 1980s to the 2010s. They find that the materials offer a…

The contribution of school curricula to public understanding and acceptance of evolution is still mostly unknown, due to the scarcity of studies that compare the learning goals present in different curricula. To overcome this lack of data we analysed 19 school curricula (18 European and one from Israel) to study the differences regarding the…

Heslley Machado Silva – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
The issue of the secular state is pertinent in Latin America, especially in countries like Brazil, where religion may influence the political and educational field. Data from a survey of biology teachers regarding the teaching of evolution in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay were analysed, recognising the secularity of the countries. The…

Hohenstein, Jill; Tenenbaum, Harriet R. – Science Education, 2023
To examine the ways that 6- to 11-year-old children's conversation with their parents support their developing understandings of evolution, 49 parent-child dyads participated in a study with two elicited discussion tasks: origins of species and potential species change. Conversational data were transcribed, coded, and qualitatively and…

Brittany D. Hargrove – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This study focused on whether a teacher's personal beliefs impacted how the state standards for evolution were taught in a middle and high school science class. This research followed a collective case study design that was conducted on a population of middle and high school science teachers in the State of Georgia. Educators were asked fifteen…

Berrit K. Czinczel; Daniela Fiedler; Ute Harms – American Biology Teacher, 2025
Evolution is the central concept of biology and key to a comprehensive understanding of any complex biological interaction. It has proven to be a particularly difficult subject for both teachers and students. Hybrid teaching environments have the potential to support students in learning about complex topics and simultaneously enable researchers…

Tim Hartelt; Helge Martens – Science Education, 2025
Evolution is challenging to understand for students. Frequently, students hold coexisting intuitive conceptions based on cognitive biases and scientific conceptions of evolution. For the self-regulation of intuitive and scientific conceptions, metacognitive awareness is fundamental. However, students are mostly unaware of their conceptions. A…

Rowan C. Martindale; Barbara Sofia Sulbaran Reyes; Sinjini Sinha; North Cooc – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2024
Educational geoscience games have been increasing in popularity because they promote learning through amusement and encourage students to engage with topical material and each other. Here we describe a new board game, "Reef Survivor", and its use as an instructional tool in undergraduate classes. The educational objective is to teach…

Caryn Babaian; Sudhir Kumar – American Biology Teacher, 2024
When students think of evolution, they might imagine T. rex, or perhaps an abiotic scene of sizzling electrical storms and harsh reducing atmospheres, an Earth that looks like a lunar landscape. Natural selection automatically elicits responses that include "survival of the fittest," and "descent with modification," and with…

Phylogenetic trees are used throughout biology to represent evolutionary relationships and communicate ideas about evolutionary processes. Dedicated instruction in how to read and interpret phylogenetic trees (i.e., tree thinking) is necessary for students to be able to access this information. There are many cognitive barriers to mastering…
