There has been an increased push for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students and scientists to be trained in science communication. Science communication researchers have outlined various models of how scientists interact with nonscientists--including deficit, dialogue, and inclusive approaches. We wanted to analyze…

Busch, Carly A.; Mohammed, Tasneem F.; Nadile, Erika M.; Witt, Madison L.; Vargas, Cindy; Tran, Missy; Wolf, Joseph Gazing; Brister, Danielle; Cooper, Katelyn M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Depression is one of the leading mental health concerns among science undergraduates, and rates of student depression increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Revealing one's depression in an academic science environment can be helpful, because it can result in increased support from others. However, depression is considered a concealable…

Haag, Kirstin; Pickett, Sarah B.; Trujillo, Gloriana; Andrews, Tessa C. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Could co-teaching be a mechanism to support the adoption of evidence-based teaching strategies? Co-teaching has been proposed as a lever for fostering pedagogical change and has key attributes of a successful change strategy, but does research indicate co-teaching effectively shifts instructional practices? Based on our review of the emerging…

Increasing the participation of students of African descent and other minoritized populations in the scientific workforce is imperative in generating a more equitable biomedical research infrastructure and increasing national research creativity and productivity. Undergraduate research training programs have shown to be essential tools in…

King, Gretchen P.; Russo-Tait, Tatiane; Andrews, Tessa C. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Undergraduate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) classrooms are not race-neutral spaces, and instructors have the power to center racial equity and inclusion in their instructional practices. Yet how instructors think about race and racism can impact whether and how they adopt inclusive practices. We examined how 39…

Smith, Cody R.; Menon, Deepika; Wierzbick, Annette; Dauer, Jenny M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Undergraduate and graduate teaching assistants (TAs) play large roles in introductory undergraduate education despite having little to no teaching experience or professional development (PD). Self-efficacy and teaching approach have each been studied as independent variables that impact teaching performance and student learning in the absence of…

Pfeifer, Mariel A.; Cordero, Julio J.; Stanton, Julie Dangremond – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Our understanding of how active learning affects different groups of students is still developing. One group often overlooked in higher education research is students with disabilities. Two of the most commonly occurring disabilities on college campuses are attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and specific learning disorders (SLD). We…

Shi, Lu; Popova, Maia; Erdmann, Robert M.; Pellegrini, Anthony; Johnson, Victoria; Le, Binh; Popple, Trina; Nelson, Zachary; Gaston, Molly Undersander; Stains, Marilyne – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
The assessment of instructional quality has been and continues to be a desirable, yet difficult endeavor in higher education. The development of new teaching evaluation frameworks along with instruments to measure various aspects of teaching practices holds promise. The challenge rests in the implementation of these frameworks and measures in…

Clark, Noelle; Hsu, Jeremy L. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Learning goals and objectives are a key part of instruction, informing curricular design, assessment, and learning. These goals and objectives are also applied at the programmatic level, with program learning outcomes (PLOs) providing insight into the skills that undergraduate biology programs intend for their students to master. PLOs are mandated…

Metzger, Kelsey J.; Dingel, Molly; Brown, Ethan – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
We evaluate the impact of a low-stakes easy-to-implement course-level intervention, Scientist Spotlight assignments, which feature personal and professional stories of diverse scientists. This work extends previous studies by examining whether shifts in relatability differ across student identities, particularly students who identify as…

Alam, Irfanul; Ramirez, Karen; Semsar, Katharine; Corwin, Lisa A. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Civic engagement is an individual's active participation that is intended to improve a community's socioeconomic status or help shape its future. Undergraduates who engage with a community during formal course work are more likely to participate civically later in life. This outcome is important for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM)…

Tise, Joseph C.; Sperling, Rayne A.; Dann, Michael S.; Young, Taylor M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Analogical reasoning is an important type of cognition often used by experts across domains. Little research, however, has investigated how generating analogies can support college students' self-regulated learning (SRL) of biology. This study therefore evaluated a contextualized cognitive learning strategy intervention designed to teach students…

Petchey, Sara; Treagust, David; Niebert, Kai – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Abstract concepts dominate university science teaching, and much of this content is taught without sufficient connection to students' prior knowledge or everyday experiences. As this can be problematic for students, the aim of this research was to determine the utility and effectiveness of a professional development module on using analogies to…

Chen, Audrey; Phillips, Kimberley A.; Schaefer, Jennifer E.; Sonner, Patrick M. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Core concepts provide a framework for organizing facts and understanding in neuroscience higher education curricula. Core concepts are overarching principles that identify patterns in neuroscience processes and phenomena and can be used as a foundational scaffold for neuroscience knowledge. The need for community-derived core concepts is pressing,…

Mastery of quantitative skills is increasingly critical for student success in life sciences, but few curricula adequately incorporate quantitative skills. Quantitative Biology at Community Colleges (QB@CC) is designed to address this need by building a grassroots consortium of community college faculty to (1) engage in interdisciplinary…
