Li, Mingyu – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2022
The topic 'photosynthesis' contains many intangible and abstract scientific concepts, regarding which students hold many preconceptions. Conceptual learning is a process of co-creation and flow that requires the teachers' higher educational level on conceptual teaching. The present research considers photosynthesis as an example. Results of Ball's…

Ha, Minsu; Wei, Xin; Wang, Jian; Hou, Dan; Nehm, Ross H. – International Journal of Science Education, 2019
The goal of our study was to examine a large (>400), cross-sectional sample of Chinese pre-service biology teachers (PBTs) in order to document their evolution acceptance levels, evolution knowledge, and evolutionary reasoning patterns. This approach was taken in order to better understand the degree to which particular evolutionary reasoning…

Sun, Zheng; Xu, Zihan; Yu, Yang; Xia, Shilin; Tuhlei, Breanna; Man, Tengjun; Zhou, Bo; Qin, Yuanhua; Shang, Dong – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
The COVID-19 outbreak has created turbulence and uncertainty into multiple aspects of life in countries around the world. In China, the pandemic continues to pose a great challenge to the nature of traditional in-class education in schools. Chinese education has faced the difficult decision of whether to resume in-person teaching in an…

Jin, Hui; Hokayem, Hayat; Wang, Sasha; Wei, Xin – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2016
As China and the United States become the top two carbon emitters in the world, it is crucial for citizens in both countries to construct a sophisticated understanding of energy consumption issues. This interview study examines how U.S. and Chinese students compare in explaining and arguing about two critical energy consumption issues: burning…

Ma, Xin; Wu, Xian; Yuan, Jing; Luo, Xingkai – Teachers College Record, 2018
Background/Context: Students, classrooms, teachers, and schools form hierarchical units of any schooling system that compete for, say, educational resources and sometimes blame one another for the failure to meet a certain societal goal. Little educational research exists that separates competing effects on schooling outcomes across these…

Shan, Jianying; Shen, Jie; Dong, Li; Xu, Yifan; Li, Honglin; Zhong, Lichao; Tang, Hao – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Human ageing and age-associated diseases are among the greatest challenges and financial burdens faced by developed countries. Unfortunately, undergraduate students often do not experience any laboratory training in ageing research in the current laboratory curriculum of majors in biology, biotechnology, or medicine. In this study, we developed…
