Lu Cao; Polly K. Lai; Hongzhi Yang – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2024
This study explored the use of an innovative instructional approach called Productive Failure (PF) to design an educational game and its support. The study then examined the effects of two different types of instruction--PF vs. Direct Instruction (DI)--on learning genetics and relevant mathematical knowledge in a Game-Based Learning (GBL)…

Todd, Amber; Romine, William; Sadeghi, Reza; Cook Whitt, Kate; Banerjee, Tanvi – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2022
Learning progressions (LPs) serve as frameworks for understanding the level of complexity of students' ideas within a domain. Multifaceted LPs contain multiple interrelated constructs where increased knowledge in one construct may increase knowledge of a separate construct. While it is challenging to identify and test these contingencies between…

Stewart, Lauren; Ross, Donna; Elliot, Kimberly – Science Teacher, 2019
This paper highlights learning supports associated with genetics lessons that were implemented in a urban high school biology classroom. The supports provided access to science content for ELLs [English language learners], students with IEPs [individualized education programs], and struggling readers during an introductory unit on genetics. Due to…

Stuhlsatz, Molly A. M.; Buck Bracey, Zoë E.; Donovan, Brian M. – Science & Education, 2020
Conflation of sex and gender is implicated in the development of essentialist thinking, which has been linked to the justification of systems of prejudice in modern society. This exploratory study presents findings from a person randomized control trial conducted with 460 students in 8th-10th grade that investigated the extent to which students…

Ageitos, Noa; Puig, Blanca – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Though argumentation is a key component of scientific knowledge construction practices, it rarely occurs in classrooms worldwide. Moreover, related literature in the context of genetics and evolution learning primarily addresses them separately. In contrast, this paper is part of broader research on genetics and evolution instruction taught…

Alsarayreh, Raghad Shaher – Cypriot Journal of Educational Sciences, 2021
This study aimed to identify the impact of teaching critical thinking skills on the attitude towards biology courses among female students of tenth grade in Jordan using two active learning strategies. To achieve this, the Critical Thinking Scale and the Attitude towards Biology Scale was used, and its validity and consistency were verified. The…

Kantahan, Sasithorn; Junpeng, Putcharee; Punturat, Sompong; Tang, Keow Ngang; Gochyyev, Perman; Wilson, Mark – International Journal of Evaluation and Research in Education, 2020
The main purpose of this study was to design and verify the quality of an assessment aimed at diagnosing scientific misconceptions among students enrolled in 10th-grade biology subjects. A sample consisted of N=200 students from schools under the administration of the Office of Secondary Educational Service 31, Nakhon Ratchasima province. We…

Vuran, Fatma Eda; Çigdemoglu, Ceyhan; Mirici, Semra – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2020
In this study activities related to biotechnology and genetic engineering were prepared and their effectiveness on students' achievement, attitudes towards biotechnology, and self-evaluations were investigated. The activities were implemented in 10th grade biology course. The study utilized mixed method, with qualitative and quantitative data…

Puig, Blanca; Ageitos, Noa; Jiménez-Aleixandre, María Pilar – Science & Education, 2017
There is emerging interest on the interactions between modelling and argumentation in specific contexts, such as genetics learning. It has been suggested that modelling might help students understand and argue on genetics. We propose modelling gene expression as a way to learn molecular genetics and diseases with a genetic component. The study is…

Avsar Erumit, Banu; Akerson, Valarie L. – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2023
Teachers often struggle to facilitate open discussions about evolution when they perceive it to be at odds with cultural and religious norms. Little is understood about classroom discourse and teacher-student interactions during the teaching of evolution. This study analyzed classroom discourse and teacher-student exchanges in a 10th-grade biology…

Haskel-Ittah, Michal; Yarden, Anat – Science & Education, 2017
Previous studies have shown that students often ignore molecular mechanisms when describing genetic phenomena. Specifically, students tend to directly link genes to their encoded traits, ignoring the role of proteins as mediators in this process. We tested the ability of 10th grade students to connect genes to traits through proteins, using…

Todd, Amber; Kenyon, Lisa – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2016
This article describes revisions to four of the eight constructs of the Duncan molecular genetics learning progression [Duncan, Rogat, & Yarden, (2009)]. As learning progressions remain hypothetical models until validated by multiple rounds of empirical studies, these revisions are an important step toward validating the progression. Our…

Sivia, Awneet; MacMath, Sheryl; Novakowski, Chelsea; Britton, Vandy – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2019
To investigate any possible differences in student engagement between project-based learning units and non-project-based learning units, this triangulation design-convergence mixed methods study followed a grade 10 teacher and her students as they completed science units on chemistry, aquaponics, and genetics. Student engagement was measured in…

Pekel, Feyzi Osman; Hasenekoglu, Ismet – Online Submission, 2015
This study investigates the effect of a conceptual change approach over traditional instruction on students' understanding of DNA, gene and chromosome concepts. 52 10th grade students belonging two different classes participated the study. One of the classes was assigned randomly to the control group, and the other class was assigned randomly to…

Yang, Xuanyang; Zhao, Guoqing; Yan, Xiaomei; Chao, Qing; Zhao, Xiaoyu; Lu, Tong; Dong, Yinan – Research in Science Education, 2022
Though we have advocated explicit argumentation instruction in science classes for decades, daily instructions are still found insufficient in improving students' argumentation competence. It is therefore important to explore effective instructional strategies through classroom research. This paper compares instructional strategies for classroom…
