The research presented in this essay is grounded in Social Domain Theory. Research provides substantial evidence that children's social development is characterized by the formation of distinctly different systems of thought, including those in the moral, social-conventional, and personal domains. A main focus here is on morality, defined as…

Direct linkNakutin, Sarah N.; Paz, Jennica L. – Contemporary School Psychology, 2020
William's Syndrome (WS) is a rare neurodevelopmental disorder caused by a genetic abnormality, affecting about 1 in 10,000 people worldwide. While there are some behavioral similarities between WS and other high incidence disabilities, such as autism, several unique physical, cognitive, and behavioral characteristics are expressed in individuals…

Racionero-Plaza, Sandra; Flecha, Ramón; Carbonell, Sara; Rodríguez-Oramas, Alfonso – Qualitative Research in Education, 2023
Scientific literature about neuromyths has proliferated in the last few years. However, there is a gap of knowledge around neuroedumyths. While neuromyths are based on hoaxes about the brain, neuroedumyths use neuroscientific concepts but state consequences for education that are false. This article presents, for the first time, research about…

Aydin, Serap Öz; Azizoglu, Nursen; Yilmaz, Fatma Bilgican – Elementary School Forum (Mimbar Sekolah Dasar), 2023
This study aimed at designing instructional material named Biotechnology Instruction Module (BIM) which is enriched with active learning methods to enhance the 8th grade students' learning of the topic. The development of the teaching materials proceeded within the stages of the ADDIE instructional design model. The final form of the instructional…

Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder affecting approximately 1 in every 365 African American births. Students with SCD are likely to experience ongoing complications that will interfere with their attendance, functioning at school, and overall daily functioning throughout their lives. This article provides education about SCD…

Styles, Erin B.; Polvi, Elizabeth J. – Teaching & Learning Inquiry, 2022
The last class session of the academic term represents an excellent opportunity to solicit meaningful feedback from students who have just completed the course. To capitalize on the students' first-hand knowledge of their own experiences with our course and maximize the impact of the last class for our Canadian graduate-level genetics course, we…

Arold, Benjamin W. – Education Next, 2022
What contributes to science skepticism? Virtually every U.S. high-school student is required to study biology, at minimum, to earn a diploma. But the exact content of the course varies from state to state. This article investigates the role of state standards for high-school science content in shaping knowledge and attitudes about…

Schmid, Kelly M.; Lee, Dennis; Weindling, Monica; Syed, Awais; Agyemang, Stephanie-Louise Yacoba; Donovan, Brian; Radick, Gregory; Smith, Michelle K. – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2022
Undergraduate genetics courses have historically focused on simple genetic models, rather than taking a more multifactorial approach where students explore how traits are influenced by a combination of genes, the environment, and gene-by-environment interactions. While a focus on simple genetic models can provide straightforward examples to…

Khajornkhae, Linda; Nuangchalerm, Prasart – Journal of Educational Issues, 2021
Socioscientific-issues based instruction can promote science to students as a tool for necessary learning in the disruptive world. This instruction helps students critique and response as its nature of science, gaining higher-ordered thinking, and discussing with scientific reasoning. The objectives of this study were to compare learning…

Drits-Esser, D.; Hardcastle, J.; Bass, K. M.; Homburger, S.; Malone, M.; Pompei, P.; DeBoer, G. E.; Stark, L. A. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
In response to calls for curricular materials that integrate molecular genetics and evolution and adhere to the K--12 Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), the Genetic Science Learning Center (GSLC) at the University of Utah has developed and tested the "Evolution: DNA and the Unity of Life" curricular unit for high school biology.…

Neufeld, Janina; Hederos Eriksson, Lisa; Hammarsten, Richard; Lundin Remnélius, Karl; Tillmann, Julian; Isaksson, Johan; Bölte, Sven – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Atypical sensory processing is prevalent across neurodevelopmental conditions and a key diagnostic criterion of autism spectrum disorder. It may have cascading effects on the development of adaptive functions. However, its unique contribution to adaptive functioning and the genetic/environmental influences on this link are unclear. In a clinically…

Borgen, Nicolai T.; Frønes, Ivar; Raaum, Oddbjørn – Child Development, 2021
Although attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is among the most heritable psychiatric childhood disorders, social and gene-environment interactions seemingly play an important role in the etiology of ADHD. Consistent with this, this study finds that School-Wide Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (SWPBIS) reduced the…

This study explored the physical and clinical phenotype of Bangladeshi children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). A totally of 283 children who were referred for screening and administered Module 1 of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) were included. Overall, 209 met the ADOS algorithmic cutoff for ASD. A trend for greater weight…

Dohn, Niels B. – International Journal of Science Education, 2021
This study investigates upper secondary students' situational interest in a collaborative citizen science programme that involves genetic monitoring of freshwater fauna by analysing environmental DNA (eDNA) extracted from local pond water. The programme was attended by a sample that comprised 1879 students (M[subscript age] = 18.15, SD = 1.94)…

Protopapa-Henkel, John; Bailey, Janelle M. – Science Teacher, 2021
The National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) and the "Next Generation Science Standards" ("NGSS") have attempted to make planning easier for teachers by creating a common resource bank, but there is no unit design process specifically created for science teachers in a project- and inquiry-based classroom. Without a common…
