Sustainability education is crucial in helping students deal with current health and environmental challenges through dietary choices. This study aims to provide an understanding of how the teachers surveyed (n = 416, 85% women; 58% teaching natural sciences) view the importance of the following interrelated issues for sustainability: (1) the…

Yingzhi Zhang; Zhichen Li – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
We examined the effects of applying the instructional method of constructive controversy in an animal welfare unit, on middle-school students' knowledge and attitudes relating to the treatment and welfare of animals. Accordingly, we developed and implemented a four-stage instructional model centring on constructive controversy in a class of 27…

Glen Suguitan Mirabete; Maricar Sison Prudente – Journal of Science and Mathematics Education in Southeast Asia, 2023
The Philippines is one of the world's top conservation priority areas, yet unique species in the country are threatened. However, Filipinos still have poor awareness of Philippine wildlife and the country's biodiversity situation. A resolution to this situation is pro-environmental behavior, which can be achieved as an indirect benefit of…

Nathan Ruhl; Bailey Sanders – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
The discovery of frog abnormalities by students on a school field trip in 1995 sparked hundreds of scientific studies in search of the cause of abnormality. This Socio-Scientific Issue has been used as an inquiry-based learning exercise for training in the practice of science, but it is also well-suited to teaching the nature of science. Our goal…

Several studies report on lower quality of life for autistic people when compared to non-autistic people. However, there are ongoing discussions about the conceptualization of quality of life for the autistic population. This qualitative study investigated self-perceived quality of life in the context of autistic young adults' everyday lives.…

Purpose: From an anthropological perspective of hominin communication, the human auditory system likely evolved to enable special sensitivity to sounds produced by the vocal tracts of human conspecifics whether attended or passively heard. While numerous electrophysiological studies have used stereotypical human-produced verbal (speech voice and…

Erickson, MaryGrace; Wattiaux, Michel A.; Karcher, Elizabeth L. – Natural Sciences Education, 2020
Educators often compare quantitative scores on motivational traits across time (e.g., pre- and post-semester), yet few studies have examined the longitudinal measurement equivalence of such traits or described typical trajectories. Our research explored the longitudinal measurement of individual interest in two cohorts of an introductory animal…

Trask, Sydney; Reis, David S.; Ferrara, Nicole C.; Helmstetter, Fred J. – Learning & Memory, 2020
Relative to males, female rats can show enhanced contextual fear generalization (demonstrating a fear response in a safe or neutral context) dependent on estrogen receptor activation. The current experiment aimed to extend this finding to cued fear conditioning. Females in low-estrogen phases of the estrous cycle showed good discrimination,…

Fontaine, Christine J.; Gräfe, Erin L.; Pinar, Cristina; Río, Itziar Bonilla-Del; Grandes, Pedro; Christie, Brian R. – Learning & Memory, 2020
Cannabinoid receptors are widely expressed throughout the hippocampal formation, but are particularly dense in the dentate gyrus (DG) subregion. We, and others, have shown in mice that cannabinoid type 1 receptors (CB1Rs) are involved in a long-term depression (LTD) that can be induced by prolonged 10 Hz stimulation of the medial perforant path…

School-based agricultural education offers a rich context to illuminate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Understanding and enhancing STEM learning within agricultural education requires a deep understanding of how agricultural educators currently illuminate STEM concepts within their curriculum. Building upon the work of…

Regular evaluation of environmental education is important for quality assurance and the self-assessment of educational institutions such as zoos. However, capacity is often lacking. Therefore, this study presents instruments that can be used to track the impact of educational programs on connection to nature, interest in species conservation,…

William Norris; Kalynn Baldock – Journal of Agricultural Education, 2025
Many early-career educators report a lack of confidence in teaching animal science and suggest that comprehensive professional development would improve their abilities to engage diverse audiences in animal science instruction. This lack of confidence in providing quality instruction in key agricultural education areas could leave some educators…
