Some researchers have theorized that emotions while reading science texts influence learning in a wholistic way, such that overall positive or negative affect leads to different learning outcomes. Other researchers have envisioned that emotions fluctuate during reading such that the degree of cycling impacts the learning outcomes. In this study,…

Representations are an integral component of organic chemistry education and practice. Learning how to visualize and reason effectively with a variety of representations is essential for learners to succeed. However, developing the necessary representational competence skills (e.g., the ability to interpret, translate between, and use…

Ming-Mei Chang – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
Laboratory experience is vital to undergraduate science education. It allows students to observe and conduct engaging experiments to enhance their skills and literacy, helps them retain knowledge, and deepens their understanding of related content covered in lectures. This paper reports a 4-week undergraduate laboratory exercise on…

Jaya Shivangani Kashyap; Chandralekha Singh – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
This case study used individual interviews to investigate graduate students' sensemaking in upper-level electrostatics in the context of problems that can be efficiently solved for the electric potential using Laplace's equation. Although there are many technical mathematical issues involved in solving Laplace's equation, the focus of this…

In the production of biomolecules of industrial interest, bioprocesses must ensure economic viability and sustainability. However, in biochemical or biotechnology academic programs, there seems to be a lack of integrated approaches to holistic bioprocess design. Currently, there is a strong emphasis on molecular biology, genetics, or derived…

Students in a spins-first quantum mechanics course often have difficulties transitioning from spin systems to continuous systems like the infinite square well. Our study investigates how students understand discrete and continuous quantities in quantum mechanics and the connections the students make between them. We interviewed six students who…

Recent studies of high school and freshman chemistry laboratories show that online activities reduce the number of errors made in the lab and improve scores on postlab questions. However, their impact on upper division chemistry laboratories has not been investigated. In this three-year study, we measured the impact of interacting with a computer…

Colloidal stability is one of the most important criteria in the application strategy of colloidal nanoparticles in the continuous phase. The branches include ecology, involving coagulation as a purification method; medicine as nanocarriers; biology as blood coagulation, etc. A chemist versed in these concepts is a high-performing chemist in…

Wenyu Lai; Baolin Li – Journal of Chemical Education, 2025
Paal--Knorr reactions are a classical method for synthesizing pyrroles, using 1,4-dicarbonyl compound and amine as reactants. It has the characteristics of green chemistry, as only two molecules of water are lost. In this teaching and learning experiment, 2,5-hexanedione and 4-"tert"-butylaniline were used to synthesize…

Increasingly, curricular materials for undergraduate life science courses are designed to highlight scientists with identities and backgrounds that counter historical and stereotypical representation in science. In this essay, we characterize the wide variation in the development and implementation of these curricular materials featuring…

Eric Nolan; Dana Zeidler – Research in Science Education, 2025
Science educators face significant challenges in preparing learners with the skills and knowledge necessary for 21st-century functional scientific literacy. This stems from high expectations of students and a growing demand for them to apply their learning to complex issues with political, social, environmental, and economic dimensions. The…

Recent efforts to make undergraduate biology more inclusive include developing content that explores how human values and priorities impact science, and previous work documents how instructors value an "ideologically aware" biology curriculum that highlights these themes. Here, we surveyed a national sample of undergraduate students in…

Communities of practice in STEM education are important for promoting the improvement of teaching in the postsecondary curriculum. One community in particular is the Interactive Online Network of Inorganic Chemists (IONiC). IONiC aims to advance inorganic chemistry education through the creation of curricular materials (i.e., learning objects).…

Due to the positive effects on students' performance and social skills, student-centered instructional strategies such as cooperative learning are increasingly used in higher education. Although cooperative learning has been studied extensively, often these studies cannot be applied to the context of higher education physics due to differences in…
