Mbano, Nellie M.; Chitundu, Pascal A.; Nampota, Dorothy C. – Science Education International, 2023
Understanding genetics, an important topic in the study of biology, is critical for scientific literacy in agriculture, health, and forensic investigations. However, it has been observed that teachers find genetics difficult to teach and pupils do not perform well in it. Teachers can use expository teaching or active learning methods, but the…

Hellquist, Anna; Tammimies, Kristiina – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Clinical genetic testing is recommended for individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. There are only a few reports of how these recommendations are followed and especially missing for European countries. We aimed to analyze the rate of access, utilization, and awareness of clinical genetic testing among autistic individuals in Sweden…

Liang, Liang; Yan, Xian-Chun; Cao, Xiu-Li; He, Lin; Zheng, Min-Hua; Qin, Hong-Yan; Han, Hua – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
With the better understanding of human genome and genetic contributions to human complex diseases, more and more clinical genetic tests have been developed for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of human diseases. This has raised new challenges to classroom teaching of medical genetics (MG) in medical education of undergraduates, who are…

The use of digital technologies in teaching and learning has proven to be effective in aiding students' understanding of difficult concepts. Hence this study sought to find the effectiveness of ICT in teaching concepts of genetics which have been indicated as one of the biology concepts Ghanaian senior high school students find challenging. The…

Mussard, Jack; Reiss, Michael J. – School Science Review, 2022
Genetics forms a major part of A-level biology specifications in the UK for 16- to 18-yearolds. Research has identified several reasons why learning genetics is hard. However, research has not investigated whether examiner reports are useful for identifying difficult genetics concepts for students. This research explored the extent to which…

The Genetics Conceptual Understanding of Indonesian and United States Undergraduate Biology Students
Rusmana, Ai Nurlaelasari; Rachmatullah, Arif; Nuraeni, Eni; Ha, Minsu – Asia-Pacific Science Education, 2021
Genetics as a core concept of life science is essential for understanding biology. Examining genetics understanding among biology majors is becoming important since they must necessarily achieve some level of genetics understanding to advance their career. This study compares Indonesian biology majors' genetics understanding with previously…

Casanoves, Marina; Solé-Llussà, Anna; Haro, Juan; Gericke, Niklas; Valls, Cristina – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Game-based science learning (GBSL) provide an alternative route for learning genetics, but its effects on students' conceptual learning is contested. In this paper we assess the utility, in primary teacher education, of Recal - a game designed to promote participants' learning of key genetic concepts through acting as detectives…

Armstrong-Carter, Emma; Trejo, Sam; Hill, Liam J. B.; Crossley, Kirsty L.; Mason, Dan; Domingue, Benjamin W. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Observed genetic associations with educational attainment may be due to direct or indirect genetic influences. Recent work highlights "genetic nurture," the potential effect of parents' genetics on their child's educational outcomes via rearing environments. To date, few mediating childhood environments have been tested. We used a large…
