Bokor, Julie; Darwiche, Houda; Joseph, Drew – American Biology Teacher, 2015
Using Pompe disease as a context affords the opportunity for students to consider multiple biological concepts and embraces the Next Generation Science Standards Disciplinary Core Ideas Structure and Function (LS1.A) and Inheritance of Traits (LS3.A) as well as Crosscutting Concepts Structure and Function and Cause and Effect. These crosscutting…

Liu, Jiajia Eve; Lin, M. Y. – AILA Review, 2021
CLIL focuses on the integration of content learning and additional language learning. However, it is increasingly recognized that the re/presentation and communication of discipline-specific content involve not only language, but also other semiotic modes (such as visuals and gestures). This is accelerated by the advancement of digital…

Camfield, Eileen Kogl; Schiller, NaTasha R.; Land, Kirkwood M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
When a global pandemic hits during a longitudinal study of biology student success, researchers can unearth rich information about student resilience. By sharing case studies from two demographically different midsized 4-year institutions, this article illustrates the aspects of student self-efficacy beliefs that were undercut by the shift to…

Aghasafari, Sahar; Bivins, Kelli; Nordgren, Brendan – Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Education, 2021
There has been a dramatic increase in the number of multilingual and multicultural students in U.S. schools. Because of high-stakes testing and English-only mandates, instructional practices and curricula in most urban school districts neglect the cultural and linguistic interests of their diverse student populations. In this interpretive study,…

Bray Speth, Elena; Shaw, Neil; Momsen, Jennifer; Reinagel, Adam; Le, Paul; Taqieddin, Ranya; Long, Tammy – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2014
Mutation is the key molecular mechanism generating phenotypic variation, which is the basis for evolution. In an introductory biology course, we used a model-based pedagogy that enabled students to integrate their understanding of genetics and evolution within multiple case studies. We used student-generated conceptual models to assess…

Girard, Dorothée; Rondeau, Philippe; Catan, Aurélie; Planesse, Cynthia; Giraud, Pierre; Bourdon, Emmanuel – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2014
Due to the growing incidence of diabetes in developed nations, there is a compelling case to be made for teaching graduate students more deeply about mechanisms underlying this disease. Diabetes is associated with enhanced oxidative stress and protein glycation via the covalent binding of glucose molecules. Albumin represents the major plasmatic…

Rain-Griffith, Liz; Sheghewi, Sarah; Shusterman, Gwendolyn P.; Barbera, Jack; Shortlidge, Erin E. – American Biology Teacher, 2020
There have been multiple national calls for curricular reform in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), including a need to instill democratic skills in students. Democratic skill building can be embedded in STEM classrooms through intentional "deliberative pedagogies" that include communication, collaboration, and…

Yaghmaian, Rana; Iwanaga, Kanako; Grenawalt, Teresa Ann; Reling, James; Brickham, Dana; Chan, Fong – Rehabilitation Research, Policy, and Education, 2020
Background: Participation is one of the most important interdisciplinary outcome variables in biopsychosocial conceptions of health and disability. While the literature surrounding social and community participation in persons with disabilities indicates that participation is a highly subjective construct, there are few known psychometrically…

Individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and otherwise nonstraight and/or non-cisgender (LGBTQ+) have often not felt welcome or represented in the biology community. Additionally, biology can present unique challenges for LGBTQ+ students because of the relationship between certain biology topics and their LGBTQ+…

Lee, Star W.; Ing, Marsha – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
Research suggests there are potential benefits to students when taught by instructors who share the same gender and/or race/ethnicity. While underrepresented students have shown increased persistence and academic performance when they were taught by gender- and/or race/ethnicity-congruent faculty, there is little research that has explored the…

Sunarto, M. J. Dewiyani; Hariadi, Bambang; Sagirani, Tri; Amelia, Tan; Lemantara, Julianto – International Journal of Instruction, 2020
The purpose of this study is to develop a Web- and Android-based learning application for high school students, named MoLearn. To meet teacher needs, a preliminary study was conducted by conducting interviews and field observations. The design and development follow the ADDIE model, with stages namely (1) analysis of needs, (2) design of…

Taylor, Robin T.; Bishop, Pamela R.; Lenhart, Suzanne; Gross, Louis J.; Sturner, Kelly – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
We describe the development and initial validity assessment of the 20-item BioCalculus Assessment (BCA), with the objective of comparing undergraduate life science students' understanding of calculus concepts in different courses with alternative emphases (with and without focus on biological applications). The development process of the BCA…

Cromley, Jennifer G.; Perez, Tony; Kaplan, Avi; Dai, Ting; Mara, Kyle; Balsai, Michael J. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Students' success in undergraduate STEM courses requires effective studying behavior, but also the motivation to enact it. Promoting students' achievement in STEM has commonly focused on either study strategies (cognitive) or motivational interventions; we hypothesized that combinations of these would be more effective. Using a Learning Management…
