Ayodeji Temitope Ojo – Pedagogical Research, 2024
Genetics concepts is taught at secondary school to equip students with relevant knowledge to engage with related socio-scientific issues in order to make a reasonable decision. However, earlier research shown that students exhibited poor comprehension of this concept. Despite several interventions, this problem persists. This study was designed to…

Bapty, Hannah – Science & Education, 2023
It is 157 years since Mendel presented his results on hybridisation in peas to the Brünn Society for Natural Science. The discipline of genetics has dramatically changed since then, with technological advancements revealing multifactorial causation and trait variability. Whilst none of this complexity featured in the discovery of classical…

Reisky Megawati Tammu – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Many students majoring in biology education at university find genetics as a quite complicated and difficult subject. A reflective journal has been used widely in teacher education to improve students' performance. This study aims to describe the role of the reflective journals for biology education students ina genetics course. The subjects in…

Schmid, Kelly M.; Lee, Dennis; Weindling, Monica; Syed, Awais; Agyemang, Stephanie-Louise Yacoba; Donovan, Brian; Radick, Gregory; Smith, Michelle K. – Journal of Microbiology & Biology Education, 2022
Undergraduate genetics courses have historically focused on simple genetic models, rather than taking a more multifactorial approach where students explore how traits are influenced by a combination of genes, the environment, and gene-by-environment interactions. While a focus on simple genetic models can provide straightforward examples to…

Stern, Florian; Kampourakis, Kostas; Müller, Andreas – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2023
Biology education research has shown that deeply rooted intuitions can influence students' understanding of biological phenomena. One example is design teleology, the intuition that organisms' traits were designed to fulfill a goal. Another example is psychological essentialism, the intuition that organisms have fixed essences. Past research has…

Ristanto, Rizhal Hendi; Kristiani, Endah; Lisanti, Elsa – Journal of Turkish Science Education, 2022
The learning process with modern technology is an absolute requirement in the digital age. As a science subject with unique characteristics, biology also requires a unique and technology-based learning process. Flipped Classroom--Digital Game-Based Learning (FC-DGBL) is a learning model that combines flipped classrooms and evaluations using…

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…

Donovan, Brian M.; Weindling, Monica; Salazar, Brae; Duncan, Alex; Stuhlsatz, Molly; Keck, Phillip – Journal of Research in Science Teaching, 2021
Recently, it has been argued that improving students' genomics literacy could prevent students from developing erroneous beliefs about social identity, such as the belief that racial groups differ cognitively and behaviorally because of their genes; a belief called genetic essentialism. To date, however, little research has explored if or how a…

Genetic variation is historically challenging for undergraduate students to master, potentially due to its grounding in both evolution and genetics. Traditionally, student expertise in genetic variation has been evaluated using Key Concepts. However, Cognitive Construals may add to a more nuanced picture of students' developing expertise. Here, we…

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…

Karaismailoglu, Fatma; Yildirim, Mehtap – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
This article presents the integration of Tinkercad, a free online modeling program that allows students to model molecular genetic concepts, into the distance learning process. The students had the opportunity to learn molecular genetics in a fun and more efficient way in spite of the limitations of the COVID-19 lockdown, and, in this respect, it…

Mocan, Didem Kiliç – Science Insights Education Frontiers, 2021
Individuals with a secondary education should have a knowledge level sufficient to make sense of what they read or hear about genetics, and they should be able to think scientifically in evaluation and decision-making processes. The purpose of this study is to identify the basic understanding of secondary education students about genetic concepts…

Timm, Justin; Wools, Katharina; Schmiemann, Philipp – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2022
Pedigree problems are typical genetics tasks in schools. They are well suited to help students learn scientific reasoning, representing realistic genetic problems. However, pedigree problems also pose complex requirements, especially for secondary students. They require a suitable solution strategy and technical knowledge. In this study, we…
