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…

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…

Tom Bielik; Dirk Krüger – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Critical thinking is one of the most important sets of cognitive abilities and dispositions required for both scientists and global citizens. In this explorative study, we examine which critical thinking aspects are perceived as relevant by biology graduate students and in what ways they found these aspects important for their scientific work.…

Lucía Casas-Quiroga; Beatriz Crujeiras-Pérez – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
This study examines the epistemic disciplinary knowledge that students consider when addressing a real food emergency that requires their engagement in inquiry and argumentation practices. The study comprised two phases: (1) designing an experiment to study the emergency and (2) evaluating the real outcome of the emergency. The participants were…

The discovery of frog abnormalities by students on a school field trip in 1995 sparked hundreds of scientific studies in search of the cause of abnormality. This Socio-Scientific Issue has been used as an inquiry-based learning exercise for training in the practice of science, but it is also well-suited to teaching the nature of science. Our goal…

The method for producing monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) was first published in 1975. MAbs have revolutionised research, diagnosis, and disease treatment approaches. While students need a good understanding of MAb production, teaching the key steps via traditional methods can be challenging. Numerous resources exist, but these focus on hybridoma…

Susan Hanisch; Dustin Eirdosh – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
Many evolutionary anthropologists view cooperation as core to the evolutionary success of our species. Concurrently, many sustainability scientists view cooperation as core to the future sustainable development of our species. When it comes to biology education, however, it is unclear how or if students are being engaged in these scientific…

Live cell imaging is a standard technique in experimental biology that enables the observation of isolated cells and tissue slices in real time and the testing of cellular responses to changes in buffer composition. However, most live cell imaging devices require the use of dedicated microscopes and/or specialised stage adaptors, and come at a…

Pedrera, Oier; Ortega-Lasuen, Unai; Ruiz-González, Aritz; Díez, José Ramón; Barrutia, Oihana – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Although citizenship's literacy in biodiversity is a promising way of confronting its loss, the unawareness about this topic is generalised particularly regarding plants. The latter phenomenon, named Plant Blindness (PB), not only refers to the inability to notice and identify the surrounding plants, but also to the lack of knowledge about the…

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have been described as a mechanism to allow more undergraduates to engage in research experiences. To understand whether CUREs are viable to scale-up undergraduate access to research experiences, it is essential to carefully evaluate whether CUREs promote comparable self-reported outcomes for…

Machová, Markéta; Ehler, Edvard – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Even though genetics has been implemented in biology curricula at secondary schools for decades, reports repeatedly indicate that students still hold various misconceptions about this topic. To successfully target these misconceptions, we need to know their nature and origin. We aimed to investigate these properties in the Czech educational system…

Robles-Piñeros, Jairo; Tateo, Luca – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
The article presents the results of an exploratory-qualitative study about children´s conceptions of ecology in relation to media messages. The objective of the study has been to identify the role of ecologism and environmental campaigns on ecology conceptions of 105 6th grade children, age 10-12, from an educational institution in Bogota,…

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…

Tasdelen, Özlem; Güven, Turan – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This study investigated how pre-service biology teachers perceived the concepts of 'system' -- as the basic component of the systems thinking approach -- and 'biological system' specific to biology. The most important characteristics of a system appear as elements, interactions, interconnections, hierarchy, purpose and forming a whole. The data of…

Borsos, Éva; Boric, Edita; Patocskai, Mária – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Plant blindness is becoming a universal phenomenon among both students and adults. They do not know the names of the plants in their immediate environment, nor are they interested in familiarising themselves with the plants that surround them. Teachers and outdoor education can play a vital role in reversing and preventing this phenomenon;…
