Barral, Ana Maria; Ardi-Pastores, Veronica C.; Simmons, Rachel E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2018
A flipped-classroom environment generally strives to create more in-class time for activities that enhance student learning, while shifting some content delivery to outside the classroom through the use of short didactic videos. We compared a flipped-classroom setting with the traditional ("control") setting for an accelerated…

Jensen, Jamie L.; Kummer, Tyler A.; Godoy, Patricia D. d. M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2015
The "flipped classroom" is a learning model in which content attainment is shifted forward to outside of class, then followed by instructor-facilitated concept application activities in class. Current studies on the flipped model are limited. Our goal was to provide quantitative and controlled data about the effectiveness of this model.…

Gross, David; Pietri, Evava S.; Anderson, Gordon; Moyano-Camihort, Karin; Graham, Mark J. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2015
Active-learning environments such as those found in a flipped classroom are known to increase student performance, although how these gains are realized over the course of a semester is less well understood. In an upper-level lecture course designed primarily for biochemistry majors, we examine how students attain improved learning outcomes, as…

Styers, Melanie L.; Van Zandt, Peter A.; Hayden, Katherine L. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2018
Although development of critical thinking skills has emerged as an important issue in undergraduate education, implementation of pedagogies targeting these skills across different science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines has proved challenging. Our goal was to assess the impact of targeted interventions in (1) an introductory…

Riedl, Ann; Yeung, Fan; Burke, Tina – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Active learning has been shown to improve student learning and engagement in many 4-year institutions; however, large-scale studies on the efficacy of active learning in community colleges are lacking. In this study, we investigate the effects of active learning in a first semester majors' general biology course at a large, suburban community…

Clements, Thomas P.; Friedman, Katherine L.; Johnson, Heather J.; Meier, Cole J.; Watkins, Jessica; Brockman, Amanda J.; Brame, Cynthia J. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Large introductory science courses are a particularly important and challenging target for creating inclusive learning environments. In this study, we examined the impact of incorporating learning assistants (LAs) on the learning environment in an introductory biology course taught with two different structures: an in-person lecture with…

Gavassa, Sat; Benabentos, Rocio; Kravec, Marcy; Collins, Timothy; Eddy, Sarah – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
Hybrid and online courses are gaining attention as alternatives to traditional face-to-face classes. In addition to the pedagogical flexibility afforded by alternative formats, these courses also appeal to campuses aiming to maximize classroom space. The literature, however, reports conflicting results regarding the effect of hybrid and online…
