Direct linkLeri, Alessandra C. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
At our small liberal arts college, we require undergraduates majoring in Biology and Biomedical Sciences to take a seminar in the spring of their senior year. Each year, the seminar focuses on a different topic in molecular biology and/or biochemistry. The course operates as a "journal club"--every week, a student presents a…

Burns, Adrienne; Holford, Peter; Andronicos, Nicholas – Interactive Learning Environments, 2022
The transition to tertiary level learning requires students take responsibility for their own learning and independently synthesise conceptual knowledge specific to their discipline. We designed an interactive online lesson that aimed to build student engagement and foster self-regulation of understanding for a foundation concept in molecular…

Hsu, Jeremy L.; Rowland-Goldsmith, Melissa – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
The transition to online learning in spring 2020 was abrupt for both students and instructors. While many instructors moved to asynchronous classes, some institutions relied more heavily on synchronous online courses. Here, we evaluate student perceptions of an inquiry-based molecular biology lecture and lab course following this transition by…

Chang, Yaning; Peng, Yuke; Li, Pengfei; Zhuang, Yingping – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2017
With the increasing importance in the application of the molecular biological detection technology in the field of food safety, strengthening education in molecular biology experimental techniques is more necessary for the culture of the students in food quality and safety major. However, molecular biology experiments are not always in curricula…

Asmus, Stephen E.; Wells, Collin K.; Montalvo, Hanna M. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Heart muscle cells, or cardiomyocytes, exhibit intrinsic contractility in vitro. We found that commercially-available mammalian cardiomyocytes serve as an excellent model system for studying the cytoskeleton and cellular contractility, fundamental topics in undergraduate cell and molecular biology courses. Embryonic rat cardiomyocytes were plated…

Tobler, Samuel; Köhler, Katja; Sinha, Tanmay; Hafen, Ernst; Kapur, Manu – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Undergraduate biology students' molecular-level understanding of stochastic (also referred to as random or noisy) processes found in biological systems is often limited to those examples discussed in class. Therefore, students frequently display little ability to accurately transfer their knowledge to other contexts. Furthermore, elaborate tools…

Kakarougkas, Andreas; Abdellatif, Reham – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2022
Teaching modalities such as Flipped Classroom Approach (FCA) are becoming increasingly popular in higher education. FCA requires that instructional content is completed outside the classroom, thus allowing active-learning activities to take place in class. In this article, we investigate the application of this approach to an undergraduate…

Julio G. Soto; Rachael French; Sulekha Anand – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
We developed an advanced, year-long course sequence in eukaryotic cell and molecular biology in order to increase conceptual understanding. Three years of historical data from a one semester, traditional-lecture, senior cell and molecular biology course (n = 237) were compared with 3 years of data collected from the year-long course sequence (n =…

Tu, Kevin; Sun, Angela; Levin, Daniel M. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
As colleges moved to online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, many instructors found it difficult to maintain student engagement and classroom community in the virtual environment. We developed a semester-long activity for a molecular biology research methodology course where students created, and shared original memes related to course…

Visual literacy, which is the ability to effectively identify, interpret, evaluate, use, and create images and visual media, is an important aspect of science literacy. As molecular processes are not directly observable, researchers and educators rely on visual representations (e.g., drawings) to communicate ideas in biology. How learners…

Dries – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2024
We present as a case study the evolution of a series of participant-centered workshops designed to meet a need in the life sciences education community--the incorporation of best practices in the assessment of student learning. Initially, the ICABL (Inclusive Community for the Assessment of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology/BMB Learning) project…

Kocemba-Pilarczyk, Kinga A.; Ostrowska, Barbara; Dudzik, Paulina; Markiewicz, Michal J.; Sotirios Souza Pegos, Débora; Lim, Chaewon – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
Diagnostic molecular biology is a fast developing discipline of laboratory medicine widely used in numerous medical branches such as oncology, hematology, immunology, internal medicine, or infectious diseases, which will certainly have a major impact on clinical medicine in the near future. Nowadays, educational process is forced to face the…

In 2018, to help undergraduate medical students strengthen their self-learning and scientific research skills, we introduced an instructional model that combined literature-based learning with experimental design. We tested this model on the molecular biology class at Tongji University. In the first step of the model, a topic is chosen, and…

The Federation of Asian and Oceanian Biochemists and Molecular Biologists (FAOBMB) and the College of Biochemists of Sri Lanka (CBSL) organized a virtual education symposium in 2021 funded by the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB). The parallel session named "Students' Perception" was attended by 188…

The DNA Landscape: Development and Application of a New Framework for Visual Communication about DNA
Wright, L. Kate; Wrightstone, Emalee; Trumpore, Lauren; Steele, Julia; Abid, Deanna M.; Newman, Dina L. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Learning molecular biology involves using visual representations to communicate ideas about largely unobservable biological processes and molecules. Genes and gene expression cannot be directly visualized, but students are expected to learn and understand these and related concepts. Theoretically, textbook illustrations should help learners master…
