Prerequisites for the Developmental Biology course at Augustana College are introductory courses in zoology and cell biology. After introductory courses students appreciate the fact that proteins have three-dimensional structures; however, they often fail to recognize how protein interactions with other cellular components can lead to specific…

William Stephenson specifically developed Q methodology, or Q, as a means of measuring subjectivity. Q has been used to determine perspectives/views in a wide variety of fields from marketing research to political science but less frequently in education. In higher education, the author has used Q methodology to determine views about a variety of…

Foster, Regina – ProQuest LLC, 2012
Online education has exploded in popularity. While there is ample research on predictors of traditional college student success, little research has been done on effective methods of predicting student success in online education. In this study, a number of demographic variables including GPA, ACT, gender, age and others were examined to determine…

Jodaei, Hojjat – Online Submission, 2012
This study investigated the effect of motivational factors on English achievement in an intensive English course. The participants consisted of 41 Iranian male military staff, with the age range from 21 to 28. The participants filled a translated and adapted version of the mini-Attiude Motivation Test Battery (a=0.70). Factor analysis of the…

Bravo-Torija, Beatriz; Jimenez-Aleixandre, Maria-Pilar – Research in Science Education, 2012
Sustainable management of marine resources raises great challenges. Working with this socio-scientific issue in the classroom requires students to apply complex models about energy flow and trophic pyramids in order to understand that food chains represent transfer of energy, to construct meanings for sustainable resources management through…

Dougherty, Michael J.; McInerney, Joseph D. – American Biology Teacher, 2009
Mathematics is at the heart of all science and is central to the interpretation of research findings in settings ranging from the clinical application of new medications to personal decisions about acceptable levels of risk. Unfortunately, many Americans, including most students, have a poor grasp of mathematics, and rational risk analysis is one…

Coker, Jeffrey Scott – American Biology Teacher, 2009
Evolutionary concepts are essential for a scientific understanding of most issues surrounding modern medicine, agriculture, biotechnology, and the environment. If the mantra for biology education in the 20th century was, "Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution," the mantra for the 21st century must be, "Nothing in biology…

Goodsell, David S. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2009
Diverse biological data may be used to create illustrations of molecules in their cellular context. I describe the scientific results that support a recent textbook illustration of an "Escherichia coli cell". The image magnifies a portion of the bacterium at one million times, showing the location and form of individual macromolecules. Results…

Vaz Macedo, Denise; Lazarim, Fernanda Lorenzi; da Silva, Fernando Oliveira Catanho; Tessuti, Lucas Samuel; Hohl, Rodrigo – Advances in Physiology Education, 2009
The cause-effect relationship between lactic acid, acidosis, and muscle fatigue has been established in the literature. However, current experiments contradict this premise. Here, we describe an experiment developed by first-year university students planned to answer the following questions: 1) Which metabolic pathways of energy metabolism are…

Sawers, Naarah – Children's Literature in Education, 2009
In an era when the merger between capitalism and science becomes an accepted norm, new questions need to be asked about the ethical implications of scientific practices. One such practice is organ transplantation. However, potent debates surround the just distribution and ethical implications of organ transplantation. This paper examines the ways…

Boyd, Nancy G.; Lewin, Jeffrey E.; Sager, Jeffrey K. – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2009
A model of coping with stress is proposed in which coping mediates the relationship among organizational stressors and personal characteristics, and job-related strains and organizational outcomes. Study results, based on a sample of professional salespeople, provide overall support for most of the hypothesized relationships among work-related…

Sweller, John – Educational Psychology Review, 2009
Cognitive load theory has been concerned primarily with techniques that will facilitate the acquisition by students of knowledge previously generated by others and deemed to be important by society. The initial generation of that knowledge, a creative process, has been largely ignored. The recent expansion of cognitive load theory's cognitive…

Meunier, Benjamin; Cordier, Francoise – Cognitive Development, 2009
The present study investigated the role of the causal status of features and feature type in biological categorizations by young children. Study 1 showed that 5-year-olds are more strongly influenced by causal features than effect features; 4-year-olds exhibit no such tendency. There therefore appears to be a conceptual change between the ages of…

Diaz, Jose Luis – International Social Science Journal, 2010
Bioethics is concerned with the moral aspects of biology and medicine. The bioethical relevance of aggression and violence is clear, as very different moral and legal responsibilities may apply depending on whether aggression and violence are forms of behaviour that are innate or acquired, deliberate or automatic or not, or understandable and…

Objective: Genes likely play a substantial role in the etiology of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). However, the genetic architecture of the disorder is unknown, and prior genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have not identified a genome-wide significant association. We have conducted a third, independent, multisite GWAS of…
