Marina Martínez-Carmona; G. Enrique Ayuso Fernández; Manuel Fernández-Díaz; Francisco Serrano-García; Antonia Plaza Griñán – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
Knowledge about genetics is essential to build a society capable of participating in socioscientific and ethical debates. However, this subject remains difficult for students, making it necessary to develop new educational strategies, such as gamification. Thus, two main objectives are established in this work: (a) to design and evaluate…

Khemika K. Sudnawa; Wendy K. Chung – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2024
Autism is heterogeneous at many levels, including clinical symptoms and etiology. A key strategy in studying heterogeneous conditions is having large enough sample sizes to stratify into smaller groups that are more homogeneous. SPARK and Simons Searchlight are large and growing research cohorts of individuals with autism in the United States and…

Lee Kennedy-Shaffer – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2024
In recent years, the discipline of statistics has begun reckoning with its difficult history. Institutions are reconsidering names that have honored key historical figures in statistics who have deep ties to eugenics movements and racial and class prejudice. These names, however, continue to appear in our classrooms, where we teach the methods…

Tiantian Cheng; Lingzhen Cao; Meng Zou – American Biology Teacher, 2024
The central dogma of molecular biology describes the transfer of genetic information from nucleic acids to proteins and stipulates that the system cannot work in the reverse direction. As a fundamental principle in biology, the dogma is as influential as it is controversial. Some commentators have debated the central dogma's empirical accuracy…

Rizqa Devi Anazifa; P. Paidi; Atik Kurniawati; Anggi Tias Pratama – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2024
In recent years, pre-service teacher education programs have recognized the importance of equipping future educators with the necessary skills such as argumentation skills and metacognitive awareness. However, the extent to these skills in pre-service biology teachers remains relatively unexplored. This study aimed to explore the effect of…

Cheng-Hsien Huang; Lee-Chin Wong; Yen-Ju Chu; Chia-Jui Hsu; Hsin-Pei Wang; Wen-Che Tsai; Wang-Tso Lee – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Sleep problems are prevalent among individuals with Rett syndrome. We aimed to investigate sleep problems in individuals with Rett syndrome and their caregivers. A total of 29 participants diagnosed with Rett syndrome and their respective 29 caregivers were included. The Children Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality…

Hans S. Schroder; Stefanie Russman Block; Jason S. Moser – Journal of American College Health, 2024
Etiological beliefs of depression have differing impacts on motivation, hope, and treatment expectations. However, it is unclear where people are exposed to these beliefs. Objective: This study examined beliefs about depression and their relations to symptoms, attitudes about depression, and treatment preferences. Participants: 426 undergraduates…

Annika Thyberg; Konrad Schönborn; Niklas Gericke – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
The aim of this study is to investigate students' meaning-making of multiple visual representations of epigenetics at different levels of biological organisation, and to discern what visual aspects of the multiple visual representations might influence students' reasoning. Adopting an exploratory approach, we analysed how students made meaning of…

Tim T. Morris; Stephanie von Hinke; Lindsey Pike; Neil R. Ingram; George Davey Smith; Marcus R. Munafò; Neil M. Davies – British Educational Research Journal, 2024
Research at the intersection of social science and genomics, 'sociogenomics', is transforming our understanding of the interplay between genomics, individual outcomes and society. It has interesting and maybe unexpected implications for education research and policy. Here we review the growing sociogenomics literature and discuss its implications…

Noel 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…

Niego, Amy; Benítez-Burraco, Antonio – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Autism spectrum disorders and Williams syndrome exhibit quite opposite features in the social domain, but also share some common underlying behavioral and cognitive deficits. It is not clear, however, which genes account for the attested differences (and similarities) in the socio-cognitive domain. In this article, we adopted a comparative…
