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.…

Maurizio Costabile; Jasmina Turkanovic – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
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…

Deborah J. Rogers; Brennan P. Bergeron; Glen M. Watson; Karen Müller Smith – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
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…

Smith, Kevin P.W.; Waddell, Edward A.; Dean, Annette N.; Anandan, Shivanthi; Gurney, Susan; Kabnick, Karen; Little, Joy; McDonald, Matthew; Mohan, Jaya; Marenda, Daniel R.; Stanford, Jennifer S. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
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…

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;…

Wineinger, Troy O.; Fry, Mary D.; Moore, E. Whitney G. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
The purpose of this study, grounded in the Achievement Goal Perspective Theory (AGPT) and a Caring framework, was to effectively adapt previously validated measures of caring, task-involving (CTI), and ego-involving (EI) climates for college exercise classes to the college biology laboratory setting. The items' measurement quality was assessed…

Simard, Catherine – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
The historical dimension of biology attests to the various conceptions of living organisms that have governed the construction of scientific knowledge over time, some of which still persist today. The present study aimed to identify and characterise the various conceptions of living organisms held by future teachers and biologists and the…

Brownlee, Kristi; Parsley, Kathryn M.; Sabel, Jaime L. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Plant awareness disparity (PAD, formerly plant blindness) is the tendency not to notice plants in one's environment, which leads to the perspective that plants are unimportant. In this paper, we explore how plants and animals are represented in introductory biology textbooks to determine if these texts are contributing to PAD in undergraduate…

Atchia, Shakeel M. C. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Reflection on current practices is key to the transformation of teachers into reflexive practitioners. This study describes how design thinking was integrated in Schön's 'reflection in and on' model, to transform traditional teaching of Biology into constructivist learning. As a first step, the reflection model was used to identify limitations in…

Jones, Jeff C.; Bassett, Gennie M.; Lescalleet, Jacob L.; Wingert, Jason R. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
CRISPR technologies are among the most powerful advancements in modern biology because they accurately manipulate the genomes of living cells and have the potential of curing various genetic diseases. This study examined the attitudes of undergraduate health science students towards somatic cell and germline gene editing therapies and whether…

Gross, Thomas J.; Li, Qingxia; McCarroll, Patricia – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the preliminary outcomes of a learning community intervention (LC), which was based on the performance pyramid theoretical model of student supports. The LC integrated college algebra into biology course work. We used a quasi-experimental design to compare LC students to separate General Biology I and…

Ezezika, Obidimma; Fusaro, Maria; Rebello, James; Aslemand, Asal – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
We developed an analog board game, "BioRacer" to further student learning in the field of public health biology and assessed its impact on learning by conducting a mixed method study. The purpose was to ascertain whether and how gaming could be a valuable learning experience for students in a lower year level undergraduate course in…

Karatas, Ayla – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This study aims to determine misconceptions about interphase, a basic phase in the cell cycle and to address those misconceptions. Meristem cells in plants, stem cells in animals, spermatogonia and oogonia cells, and some cells with partial regeneration ability do not lose dividing ability. However, normal tissue cells other than these are in the…

Almorza, D.; Prada, A.; Kandús, M. V.; Salerno, J. C. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Graduates in biology or genetics learn Mendel's laws and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium as students, and they know, use, and sometimes teach these concepts. However, it is unusual to learn about stochastic processes during the graduate studies of these topics, although the applications of Markov chains in the fields of genetics or biology are…
