Ozlem Sadi; Min-Hsien Lee – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between Turkish high school students' perceptions of learning environment, conceptions of learning biology and achievement goal orientations. In order to determine the relation among these three sets of variables, canonical correlation analyses were conducted. A total of 398 high school…

Danilo Freitas Rangel; Juliano Silva Lima; Eduardo Freitas Nobre Da Silva; Keltony de Aquino Ferreira; Leonardo Lopes Costa – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
It is essential that concepts surrounding species interactions and their importance for biodiversity conservation are widely taught and understood. Incorporating playfulness into ecological education initiatives can attract more interest in these aspects of ecology. Over the last three decades Pokémon has engaged with millions of people by…

Esquivel-Martín, Tamara; Bravo-Torija, Beatriz; Pérez-Martín, José Manuel – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Cell division is one of the most relevant processes in Biology, for instance, to understand the reproduction of species or the development of tumours. Learning this content requires not addressing it out of context but integrating it into real-life problems that demand students apply their knowledge about cell division. In this study, the authors…

Ling, Yizhou; Ye, Xia; Wang, Jingying – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
John Dewey's aesthetics subverts and transcends traditional aesthetics. He applied his empiricism philosophy into the field of aesthetics and re-established the significance of aesthetic experience. Aesthetic experience comes from daily experience; hence it is not fundamentally different from students' biological learning experience. Based on…

Vezza, Mariana E.; Sosa Alderete, Lucas G.; Agostini, Elizabeth – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Biosphere contamination is a current environmental and social issue that must be included in the school programme. It is essential that students recognise their responsibility, and be knowledgeable about the generation and reduction of environmental pollution. Dyes are usually used in school activities and discharged into household effluents,…

Kim, Youngshin; Lee, Yun-hye; Lee, Hyonyong; Lim, Soo-min – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This study examined a network of concepts used in the curriculum, textbooks, instruction, and assessment in relation to somatic cell division and investigated the alignment of science concepts used in them. Textbooks and teachers' instruction and evaluation questions were collected to analyse the alignment between the concepts and the conceptual…

Shannon Barry; K. A. Stofer; J. Loizzo; P. DiGennaro – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
High school students' perceptions often do not capture the diversity and opportunity intrinsic within science. University outreach programmes represent an ideal opportunity to increase students' exposure to diverse scientific fields and dismantle limiting perceptions. The authors examined the impact of a university-based science outreach programme…

Zohar Snapir; Galit Karadi; Michal Zion – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
We examined inquiry practices and types of knowledge presented along with paths of logical associations between inquiry questions as part of an open inquiry process. The study analysed high school biology students' scientific summaries of open inquiry processes. We found three paths of logical associations between inquiry questions -- preliminary…

Ambrosino, Christine M.; Rivera, Malia Ana J. – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
This high school-level, place-based, inquiry-driven laboratory module familiarises students with techniques used to analyse animal behaviour while facilitating the development of the observational skills highlighted by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Throughout the module, students observe, quantify, and discuss local invertebrate…

Wellmanns, Andrea; Schmiemann, Philipp – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Feedback loop reasoning is an essential part of systems thinking, which includes the analysis and description of system behaviour and regulative measures. In feedback loops, every change can simultaneously represent a cause and an effect. Research on reasoning in feedback loops is limited to investigating students' existing mental models. This…

Monkovic, Julia Marie; Jones, Serena Monique; Nicolas, Madeleine; Katyal, Priya; Punia, Kamia; Noland, Damon; Montclare, Jin Kim – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
While Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education is essential in the high school curriculum, it often carries a reputation of being formidable and overwhelming. The resulting unease students often face inhibits their ability to learn effectively; thus it can be beneficial to integrate a more familiar approach to teach them…

Discussing substance abuse, licit or not, requires dynamism when it comes to adolescents. Games are a powerful tool to bring the subject up for discussion. Here we describe a collaborative board game designed to address this subject using current neuroscience knowledge about neurophysiology of (drug) addiction. The game highlights the action of 22…

Parsons, Alexandra E.; Heddy, Benjamin C.; Wilson, Scott N.; Williams, Leslie A.; Atkinson, Linda K.; Garn, Gregg A. – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of authentically based instruction using the 5E model as the structure for lesson delivery on student emotions and the extent to which the students perceived that the teacher was facilitating mastery goals. Participants were 241 sophomore and junior biology students in three urban high schools in…

Buske, Rodrigo; Bartholomei-Santos, Marlise Ladvocat – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Genetics is an area that is increasingly important in people's daily lives. Despite this, its teaching/learning is among the most challenging topics in biology. Several instruments were created over a number of years to ascertain the quality of teaching and learning genetics. In our study, we created a specific instrument to investigate Mendelian…

Even though the concept of species is central in biology, the history of species concept and the existence of different species concepts are rarely discussed in biology classroom. This is unfortunate, as teachers could use the plurality of species concepts to enrich discussion in the classroom. Therefore, knowing the students' perception of…
