Luo, Shijian; Bian, Ze; Hu, Yuqi – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2022
Biological examples have been used to increase innovation in design activities and design education. And biologically inspired design has been studied in mechanical engineering using biological functions and principles as source domains. However, there were few studies regarding shape-based biological design in industrial design; furthermore, the…

Sansavini, Alessandra; Zuccarini, Mariagrazia; Gibertoni, Dino; Bello, Arianna; Caselli, Maria Cristina; Corvaglia, Luigi; Guarini, Annalisa – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Wide interindividual variability characterizes language development in the general and at-risk populations of up to 3 years of age. We adopted a complex approach that considers multiple aspects of lexical and grammatical skills to identify language profiles in low-risk preterm and full-term children. We also investigated biological and…

Wardin; Michele R. Williams; Ashley N. Woodson – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
The purpose of this paper is to present an argument for why there is a need to re-envision the underlying culture of undergraduate biology education to ensure the success, retention, and matriculation of Black students. The basis of this argument is the continued noted challenges with retaining Black students in the biological sciences coupled…

Monroe, Martha C.; Hall, Stephanie; Li, Christine Jie – Applied Environmental Education and Communication, 2016
Climate change is a highly charged topic that some adults prefer to ignore. If the same holds true for secondary students, teachers could be challenged to teach about climate change. We structured one activity about the biological concepts of carbon cycle and carbon sequestration in two ways: with and without mention of climate change. Results…
