dos Santos, Vanessa Carvalho; Joaquim, Leyla Mariane; El-Hani, Charbel Nino – Science & Education, 2012
A major source of difficulties in promoting students' understanding of genetics lies in the presentation of gene concepts and models in an inconsistent and largely ahistorical manner, merely amalgamated in hybrid views, as if they constituted linear developments, instead of being built for different purposes and employed in specific contexts. In…

Daniel B. Hajovsky; Steven R. Chesnut; Morgan K. Sekula; Sunny Olsen – Psychology in the Schools, 2024
Although the trajectories of children's social skills have been examined across biological sexes, less research has examined these patterns for racially and ethnically diverse children in the United States. The purpose of this study was to estimate the longitudinal growth trajectories of social skills, while examining the influence of biological…

Ulrich Schroeders; Florian Scharf; Gabriel Olaru – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 2024
Metaheuristics are optimization algorithms that efficiently solve a variety of complex combinatorial problems. In psychological research, metaheuristics have been applied in short-scale construction and model specification search. In the present study, we propose a bee swarm optimization (BSO) algorithm to explore the structure underlying a…

Ristanto, Rizhal Hendi; Ahmad, Arin Sabrina; Komala, Ratna – Participatory Educational Research, 2022
Based on the development of education in Indonesia today, teachers still teach in ways that make students memorize lessons. A learning model is needed that can support students to think critically. One of the learning models that can support students to think critically is through guided discovery learning model with argument mapping. This study…

Proteins are essential for cell function, and their biological performance depends on three-dimensional (3D) structures. Insulin is made up of 51 amino acids and is a critical hormone involved in glycaemia regulation. In basic education, concepts involving proteins (synthesis, structure, interactions, and function) are abstract and difficult for…

Lucas, Lyrica; Helikar, Tomáš; Dauer, Joseph – International Journal of Science Education, 2022
Comprehensive understanding of complex biological systems necessitates the use of computational models because they facilitate visualisation and interrogation of system dynamics and data-driven analysis. Computational model-based (CMB) activities have demonstrated effectiveness in improving students' understanding and their ability to use and…

Waxman, Sandra; Medin, Douglas – Human Development, 2007
This paper builds on Hatano and Inagaki's pioneering work on the role of experience and cultural models in children's biological reasoning. We use a category-based induction task to consider how experience and cultural models shape rural and urban children's patterns of biological reasoning. We discuss the implications of these findings for…

Horton, Deborah; Spigelmyer, Pamela; Zoucha, Rick; Rebmann, Terri – Journal of School Health, 2023
Background: The threat of a disaster or potential for a disaster is something that may be experienced by individuals globally. Schools are places of daily mass gatherings which make them an ideal target for mass casualty, natural disasters, and biological incidents. Methods: An integrative review using Whittemore and Knafl's model was conducted to…

Kalb, Luther G.; Holingue, Calliope; Pfeiffer, Danika; Reetzke, Rachel; Dillon, Emily; Azad, Gazi; Freedman, Brian; Landa, Rebecca – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
A reliable autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnosis can occur as early as 18 months; however, the average age at diagnosis in the United States is over 2 years later. While there are numerous well-known barriers to seeking an ASD diagnosis, no research has examined if separation between a child's biological parents affects timing of ASD diagnosis…

Araitz Uskola; Teresa Zamalloa; Ainara Achurra – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
The digestive system (DS) is a fundamental topic in biological science teaching. However, the literature indicates that students have difficulties in learning about it. In the present work, we focus on how early childhood Pre-Service Teachers (PSTs) develop their understanding of the DS regarding the CMP (Components-Mechanisms-Phenomena) framework…

Tallman, Oliver H. – 1970
A digital simulation of a model for the processing of visual images is derived from known aspects of the human visual system. The fundamental principle of computation suggested by a biological model is a transformation that distributes information contained in an input stimulus everywhere in a transform domain. Each sensory input contributes under…

Dettweiler, Ulrich; Gerchen, Martin; Mall, Christoph; Simon, Perikles; Kirsch, Peter – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Background: Education outside the classroom (EOtC) is considered beneficial to children's physical and mental health. Especially, stress resilience has been linked to nature experience. Aims: This study experimentally explored the effects of pupils' autonomy support (AUT) and physical activity (PA) on their biological stress responses and brain…

Carrasco-Hernandez, R. – Journal of Biological Education, 2020
The aim of the present assay is to provide a simple algorithm as well as a didactic theoretical framework that may serve as an introduction to understanding modern habitat suitability (HS) modelling techniques in Ecology and Biogeography. The proposal is built on classical descriptive statistics and classical ecological theories. Shelford's theory…

Haines, Sarah; Richman, Laila; Hartley, Renee; Schmid, Rachel – Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas, 2017
The unique organism project was designed as a culminating assessment for a biological classification unit in a middle school setting. Students developed a model to represent their unique organism. Using the model, students were required to demonstrate how their unique organism interacts with its environment, and how its internal and external…
