Ana Cintia Santos de Almeida; D. F. Rangel; L. L. Costa – Journal of Biological Education, 2025
This work tested the hypothesis that the academic performance of students in a distance learning course in Biological Sciences (PBS-CEDERJ) decreased during the COVID-19 pandemic in disciplines with and without practical activities. Performance was quantified via students' grades in PBS-CEDERJ disciplines in pre-pandemic years (2018 and 2019) and…

Patricia Melloy; Alyssa Worbetz – Journal of Biological Education, 2025
We developed a fluorescence microscopy lesson geared towards high school students. Our goals included demonstrating how fluorescence microscopy works and illustrating the localisation of key cellular structures/organelles in the model organism, budding yeast. A trained student teacher/researcher on our team took the microscopy images and…

Shakeel Mohammad Cassam Atchia; Moshimee Gunowa – Journal of Biological Education, 2025
As some misconceptions remain persistent, comforting and highly resistant to change, it is imperative to use methods and strategies that are centred around students' abilities, interests and needs to address those misconceptions. This study investigates the appropriateness of using 'concept cartoons' to address misconceptions held by forty grade 9…

Hidayati Maghfiroh; Siti Zubaidah; Susriyati Mahanal; Hendra Susanto – Journal of Biological Education, 2025
Given its impact on medicine, agriculture, and society, genetics literacy has attracted international interest. Biology lecturers play a crucial role in supporting students' genetics literacy empowerment. However, research into biology lecturers' perceptions of genetics literacy still needs to be undertaken. This study aimed to explore the…

Esra Çakirlar-Altuntas; Salih Levent Turan – Journal of Biological Education, 2025
This study aims to reveal the effectiveness of documentary-based augmented reality applications in environmental education compared to the direct instruction method supported by the question and answer technique. The research was designed as mixed-method research, and the study group consisted of 118 tenth grade students. T-tests were used to…

Diego Corrochano; Daniel Zuazagoitia; Marcia Eugenio-Gozalbo; Lidón Monferrer; Inés Ortega-Cubero; Aritz Ruiz-González; Lourdes Aragón – Journal of Biological Education, 2025
Pre-service teachers' mental models of the nature of soil were investigated in a sample of 181 students from four different Spanish universities, using three different methodological approaches: a phenomenographic analysis of definitions, a categorisation of labelled-drawings and the analysis of answers to a questionnaire consisting of both open-…

Vesta Vancugoviene; Jake McMullen; Erno Lehtinen; Ilona Södervik – Journal of Biological Education, 2025
A scientific conceptual understanding of photosynthesis and respiration provides an important basis for understanding nature and the regulations of life. Photosynthesis and respiration are complex processes, and learning about them requires a proper understanding of their various aspects, from molecular biology to the ecosystem level. This study…

Benno Dünser; Andrea Möller; Valentina Fondriest; Markus Boeckle; Peter Lampert; Peter Pany – Journal of Biological Education, 2025
With biodiversity loss as one of today's most pressing global problems, it is crucial to raise public recognition of this crisis and promote acceptance of conservation efforts. Plants, which typically struggle with low awareness ('plant blindness') and less emotional connection than animals with humans, are facing a special challenge. Promoting…

Louise Castro de Jesus; Sophia Lincoln Cardoso de Azevedo; Rafaela Moraes Pereira de Sousa; Ana Beatriz Matos; Salim Kanaan; José Carlos Pelielo de Mattos; Lidia Maria Amorim – Journal of Biological Education, 2025
Isoenzymes are variant forms of the same enzyme activity that exhibits different tissue distribution. When cells are damaged, intracellular content leaks into the blood stream, making them potential biochemical markers. Undergraduate health sciences students are expected to interpret laboratory findings of serum levels of biochemical markers and…

Ana Ruiz-Navarro; Patricia Esteve Guirao; Isabel Banos-González; Francisco Díaz Tárraga – Journal of Biological Education, 2025
Invasive alien species (IAS) are one of the main drivers of global biodiversity loss. The present study aims at performing a diagnostic analysis of the perceptions of Primary and Secondary school students about causes, consequences and solutions of the presence of IAS in the environment. The influence of educational level, knowledge of the meaning…

Pamela Medina; Waldo Quiroz – Journal of Biological Education, 2025
Within the scope of this investigation, educational instruments grounded on materialist ontology were employed to undertake a semantic analysis of the concepts of cell and the mechanisms of living organisms as they appear in biology and natural science textbooks. Drawing upon the ontological categories applied to distinct biological system levels,…

Peter Lampert; Peter Pany; Niklas Gericke – Journal of Biological Education, 2025
Sustaining a broad diversity of plants is key for a sustainable future. For instance, providing a variety of flowering plants in urban and agricultural landscapes mitigates the current decline of pollinators and biodiversity in general. Therefore, educating about the diversity of flowering plants has high current relevance for biology and…

Johan Nelson; Clas Olander – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
This study investigated meaning-making of arrows in a representation of the greenhouse effect among 14-year-old secondary school students. Data was generated during Biology lessons where 74 students discussed how they interpreted a representation from the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation, which is an NGO that produce school material. The…
