Building domain knowledge is essential to a student's success in any course. Chemistry, similar to other STEM disciplines, has a strong cumulative element (i.e., topic areas continuously build upon prior coursework). We employed the testing effect, in the form of post-exam retrieval quizzes, as a way to improve students' understanding of chemistry…

Cwik, Sonja; Singh, Chandralekha – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Societal stereotypes and biases pertaining to who belongs in physics and who can excel in it can impact motivational beliefs of women in physics courses. Prior research has shown that women have lower physics self-efficacy than men in physics courses in which women are underrepresented. However, prior research has generally not investigated…

This research focuses on students' higher-order cognitive skill (HOCS)-oriented learning to construct effective hierarchical thinking abilities in their chemical particulate nature of matter. For in-depth knowledge and profound understanding, this research deals with students' positive developments towards HOCS with a special guidance to Marzanos'…

Rattanapirun, Narapat; Laosinchai, Parames – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Molecular symmetry is a topic that requires mental manipulation of molecules when searching for symmetry elements and their corresponding symmetry operations. Such mental activities are difficult for students in a traditional classroom where only definitions and demonstrations are provided. Therefore, an exploration-based activity was developed to…

The high Arctic is a remote place, where geoscientific research and teaching require expensive and logistically demanding expeditions to make use of the short field seasons. The absence of vegetation facilitates the use of modern photogrammetric techniques for the cost-effective generation of high-resolution digital outcrop models (DOMs). These…

Kuzmenko, Tatiana; Sharma, Ashwarya; Willette, Demian A. – American Biology Teacher, 2021
Hands-on, inquiry-based laboratory activities are excellent opportunities to introduce first-year undergraduate students to the lab environment and to catalyze new interest in topics they may not yet know or be as enthusiastic about studying. We describe a multisession introductory laboratory activity that couples the research areas of medicinal…

Gin, Logan E.; Scott, Rachel A.; Pfeiffer, Leilani D.; Zheng, Yi; Cooper, Katelyn M.; Brownell, Sara E. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
Syllabi are usually required by institutions of higher education and often are the first exposure that students have to a particular course. Instructors can use syllabi as a mechanism to convey important information to students. Moreover, a syllabus can be considered a tool to create inclusive biology courses by transmitting information to all…

Lietard, Aude; Screen, Martin A.; Flindt, Diana L.; Jordan, Caleb J. C.; Robson, Jacquie M.; Verlet, Jan R. R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A dual-function student-crafted instrument is described as part of a laboratory activity aimed to teach both the principles and practical aspects of absorption spectroscopy to secondary and introductory undergraduate students. Using minimal changes in an arrangement that is based on interlocking bricks and low-cost components, both a fluorometer…

Gao, Ruomei; Lloyd, Judith; Emenike, Bright U.; Quarless, Duncan; Kim, Youngjoo; Emenike, Mary E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Engaging students in scientific practices has become an important pedagogical component in STEM education, although its implementation in laboratories is still emerging. This paper uses three types of guiding questions to facilitate scientific practices in introductory and analytical chemistry laboratories. What makes our instructional model…

Fan, Wenxuan; Mencius, Jun; Du, Wenjing; Fan, Huangyunxian; Zhu, Hongjin; Wei, Dongzhi; Zhou, Mian; Quan, Shu – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
In this information era, there is an urgent need for tighter integration of bioinformatics and experimental biology. The enormous amount of data generated by biological experiments calls for extensive computational analysis. Many bioinformatics textbooks at present mainly focus on theories, which hinders the vigorous development of scientific…

Nunes, Rhewter; de Bem Oliveira, Ivone; de Araújo Dias, Priscila; Bidinotto, Alexandre Borges; de Campos Telles, Mariana Pires – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
In this paper, we propose and describe a new approach, named BarcodingGO, to teach environmental DNA and bioinformatics concepts to undergraduate or graduate students in molecular biology-related fields. The learning pipeline proposed here aims to solve a simulated environmental monitoring problem, in which a biodiversity survey of a particular…

Robinson, Alma; Simonetti, John H.; Richardson, Kasey; Wawro, Megan – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
A large body of research shows that using interactive engagement pedagogy in the introductory physics classroom consistently results in significant student learning gains; however, with a few exceptions, those learning gains tend not to be accompanied by more expert-like attitudes and beliefs about physics and learning physics. In fact, in both…

Atieh, Emily L.; York, Darrin M.; Muñiz, Marc N. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
As the conversation in higher education shifts from diversity to inclusion, the attrition rates of students in the STEM fields continue to be a point of discussion. Combined with the demand for expansion in the STEM workforce, various retention reforms have been proposed, implemented, and in some cases integrated into policy following evidence of…
