Thomas S. Kuntzleman; Dean J. Campbell – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
So-called "Color Wonder" markers contain colorless dyes that only display color when used to mark on special "Color Wonder" paper. These markers make use of leuco dyes that only develop color in the presence of acid. These markers provide science educators with a novel chemical system that can be implemented in inquiry-based…

Natalia González-Benítez; Javier Palomino; Maria del Carmen Molina – American Biology Teacher, 2024
Despite critical thinking supporting a deeper understanding of the scientific process, university activities prioritize lower cognitive processes, such as remembering skills. Also, it is unclear whether gender biases in interest toward science exist in university science degrees. These hinder students from achieving their goals effectively since…

Emily Margaret Stump – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Physics education researchers have called for a shift from traditional laboratory (lab) instruction to labs that focus on the development of experimental skills. Although research has demonstrated the efficacy of such reformed labs, much work remains to determine what these labs can and should teach students and how best to achieve these goals.…

Simbarashe Nkomo; Alia Bly – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
In undergraduate science education, laboratory courses stand as essential cornerstones of experiential learning. Chemistry laboratory courses offer students unique hands-on experiences that bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. The journey through the undergraduate chemistry curriculum is paved with a series of…

Williams; Zachary Conley; Hinton Antentor Jr. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2024
Physiology is an important field for students to gain a better understanding of biological mechanisms. Yet, many students often find it difficult to learn from lectures, resulting in poor retention. Here, we utilize a learning workshop model to teach students at different levels ranging from middle school to undergraduate. We specifically designed…

Nausheen W. Sadiq; Tabussom Qureshi – Papers on Postsecondary Learning and Teaching, 2024
The scope of this preliminary study revolves around investigating the effectiveness of experiential learning in upper-year science laboratory courses in a post-pandemic era. In this study we have explored two key questions: 1. Can experiential learning facilitate independent inquiry in an upper-year undergraduate laboratory in a post-pandemic era?…

Mahaffey, Angela L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The calcium hydroxide solubility product constant ("K"[subscript sp]) lab is a familiar lab experiment outlined in the "Advanced Chemistry with Vernier" handbook. In an on-campus laboratory setting, students are afforded the opportunity to examine techniques, such as titration of a saturated base solution (Ca­(OH)[subscript 2])…

The Making Introductory Courses Real while Online (MICRO) laboratory project was developed to meet the need for hands-on experiments, focused on topics in analytical chemistry, to be delivered safely remotely or in a socially distanced in-person lab. Unlike more traditional lab experiments, MICRO laboratories use only microgram or nanogram amounts…

Matthew R. Anderson; Cammi J. Dargatz; Tuhina Banerjee; Natasha M. DeVore – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
Green fluorescent protein has long been a favorite protein for demonstrating protein purification in the biochemistry lab course. The protein's vivid green color helps demonstrate to students the concept(s) behind affinity or ion exchange chromatography. We designed a series of introduction to biochemistry labs utilizing a thermostable green…

Jaildo Tavares Pequeno; Benjamim Fonseca; Joaquim Bernardino Oliveira Lopes – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2024
This work aims to identify teaching and learning practices in practical classes of Computer Network Technology courses, which promote the use of the Physical Laboratory (PL) as an epistemic tool to improve learning in epistemic terms. Content analysis of Multimodal Narrations (MN) of three classes by two teachers were used. An MN aggregates and…

Melissa S. Zolnierz; George Kalu; Morgan McBride; Keanna Theobalt; Miles Turk – HAPS Educator, 2024
Surgeons and anesthesiologists use tumescent fluid to aid in the effectiveness of procedures. Injecting fluid to aid novice dissectors in improving speed, ease, and ability to distinguish planes has recently been proposed in the literature. In our study, we quantified dissections performed by first-year medical students after injecting fluid into…

Kelly Laas; Christine Z. Miller; Eric M. Brey; Elisabeth Hildt – Research Ethics, 2025
Student researchers encounter ethical issues daily, but little is known about their unique perspectives. This article presents the results of 30 qualitative semi-structured interviews exploring students' views and experiences around ethical issues in research groups. During the interviews, students were asked to describe challenges and successes…
