Current research on special education teacher burnout focused on the external contextual experiences leading to burnout rather than the innermost dimensions of the cognitive processes by which special education teachers experience burnout. Therefore, the purpose of this transcendental phenomenological research study was to explore how K-12 special…

Subject jigsaw has been identified as one of alternative model to teach difficult materials such as embryology. This study aimed to analyze the impact of the subject jigsaw model on students' achievement. This quasi-experimental study employed post-test only control group design. As many as 84 students from the fifth semester in Biology Department…

Aidman, Eugene; Jackson, Simon A.; Kleitman, Sabina – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2019
Performance on many decision-making tasks is underpinned by metacognitive monitoring, cognitive abilities, and executive functioning. Fatigue-inducing conditions, such as sleep loss, compromise these factors, leading to decline in decision performance. Using a 40-hr sleep deprivation protocol, we examined these factors and the resulting decision…

Ingram, Neil R. – School Science Review, 2019
For many students, their science education up to the age of 16 is their only formal introduction to genetics. They live in an age where the results of genomic studies will have increasing importance for their health and well-being. This article uses Piaget's conceptions of concrete and formal thinking as tools for considering the conceptual…

Walck-Shannon, Elise; Batzli, Janet; Pultorak, Josh; Boehmer, Hailey – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
Threshold concepts are fundamental to a discipline and, once understood, transform students' understanding and perception of the subject. Despite the value of threshold concepts as a learning "portal" for heuristic purposes, there is limited empirical evidence of threshold crossing or achieving mastery. As a threshold concept, biological…

Lausch, Rabecca; Ross, Danielle K. – Science Teacher, 2019
Understanding natural selection and adaptation are important precursors to learning evolution (NGSS Lead States 2013), the central unifying principle of biology. This lesson sequence, guided by the Five Practices Model (Cartier et al. 2013), incorporates data described by Andersson (1982) that details female choice in a population that eventually…

Instructor Talk--noncontent language used by instructors in classrooms--is a recently defined and promising variable for better understanding classroom dynamics. Having previously characterized the Instructor Talk framework within the context of a single course, we present here our results surrounding the applicability of the Instructor Talk…

Moorleghen, Dylan M.; Oli, Naresh; Crowe, Alison J.; Liepkalns, Justine S.; Self, Casey J.; Doherty, Jennifer H. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
Cell phones have long been known as a potential distraction from attention intensive activities such as studying and driving. Many, however, are developing the cell phone as a powerful tool to augment some of these same activities. Audience response systems (ARSs) are a type of teaching tool that allows educators to poll audience members in real…

Waal, Eric; Tran, Thomas; Abbondanza, Domenic; Dey, Arup; Peterson, Celeste – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
The CRISPR/Cas9 system is a powerful tool for gene editing and it has become increasingly important for biology students to understand this emerging technique. Most CRISPR laboratory teaching modules use complex metazoan systems or mammalian cell culture which can be expensive. Here, we present a lab module that engages students in learning the…

Radlof, Jeffrey D.; Guzey, Selcen; Eichinger, David; Capobianco, Brenda M. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2019
This study examines the initial integration of engineering design in an introductory preservice elementary biology content course using a life science design task focused on composting. The task, informed by a three-dimensional learning approach, required preservice teachers to research and model the process and use of composting to help the…

Bennie, Simon J.; Ranaghan, Kara E.; Deeks, Helen; Goldsmith, Heather E.; O'Connor, Michael B.; Mullholland, Adrian J.; Glowacki, David R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
The reemergence of virtual reality (VR) in the past few years has led to affordable, high-quality commodity hardware that can offer new ways to teach, communicate, and engage with complex concepts. In a higher-education context, these immersive technologies make it possible to teach complex molecular topics in a way that may aid or even supersede…

Casper, Anne Marie A.; Woodbury, Jacob M.; Davis, William B.; Offerdahl, Erika G. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2019
Recent studies have shown that sorting tasks are a useful tool both for measuring and aiding student learning as well as facilitating the transfer of knowledge to novel contexts. These tasks require students to categorize scenarios or information in new ways that facilitate connection making and deeper understanding. As such, sorting tasks…
