Trew, Alison J.; Early, Craig; Ellis, Rebecca; Nash, Julia; Pemberton, Katharine; Tyler, Paul; Skerry, Caroline; Bird, Lucy; Shallcross, Naomi K. R.; Harrison, Timothy G.; Shallcross, Dudley E. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Topics associated with the biological sciences form a significant fraction of the curriculum in science at primary school level in the U.K. In this methodology paper we demonstrate how a wide range of research articles associated with the biological sciences can be disseminated to a primary school audience and how children can carry out…

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…

Bopardikar, Anushree; Bernstein, Debra; McKenney, Susan – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
School-based citizen-science can be a powerful means to engage youth in environmental education, yet developing robust science curricula around citizen-science activities is tremendously challenging. Prior research provides limited examples and very little guidance for curriculum designers. To support the designers of school-based citizen-science…

Moore-Anderson, Christian – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Systems thinking is a powerful concept in biology which can help students understand how the diversity of contexts in the biology curriculum all have similar underlying characteristics. However, it is not currently a common feature in secondary education as it is not part of the National Curriculum of England. Research on systems thinking has…

Arikan, Kalender – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This study investigated the effects of outdoor education on a 10th grade biology curriculum in terms of the knowledge, attitudes, and retention of students compared to indoor teaching. The quasi-experimental design included three groups: experiment (OE; N = 43), control-II (indoor teaching; N = 35), and control-I (no application; N = 35). A…

Young, Sheila A.; Newton, Amanda R.; Fowler, Samantha R.; Park, Joo – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This research shows that employing critical thinking (problem-solving and scientific reasoning) skills when learning about climate change helped undergraduate biology students to understand the subject matter better. In this post hoc analysis of pre- and post-test scores from a public Florida undergraduate college, we identified significant…

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…

Leonardo Augusto Luvison Araújo; Renata Aparecida Dos Santos Alitto – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate Brazilian school teacher attitudes and approaches to biodiversity education. We aim to specifically compare the amount of native biodiversity topics as measured by teachers' reports of their teaching emphasis. The study involved 147 teachers from all geographic regions of the country, who…

Mouton, Marnel – Journal of Biological Education, 2020
First-year undergraduate curricula and their delivery should assist students in the transition from previous learning experiences to learning in higher education. However, the so-called articulation gap or discontinuity between secondary and higher education has been identified as a key structural curriculum problem for first-year success in South…

Origenes, Ritchelle W.; Alejandro, Blanca A. – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2023
The junior and senior high school student experiences regarding their knowledge, attitude, and practices during the COVID-19 pandemic need to explore. This qualitative research uses a phenomenological technique with 20 students (10 JHS and 10 SHS) as a sample. Students learned about the illness through multimedia, filtering misinformation,…

Lee, Yeung Chung; Kwok, Ping Wai – Journal of Biological Education, 2017
This paper examines the feasibility of using historical case studies to contextualise the learning of the nature of science and technology in a biology lesson. Through exploring the historical development of vaccine technology, students were expected to understand the complexity of the relationships between technology and science beyond the…

Jenkins, Edgar – Journal of Biological Education, 2016
When the "Journal of Biological Education" was first published in 1967, biology was still very much the Cinderella of the three school sciences in many countries. Most selective secondary school biology courses readily betrayed their origins as an unconvincing coalition of botany and zoology. In the non-selective secondary modern…

Ardiansyah, Roni; Harlita, H.; Ramli, Murni – Journal of Biological Education Indonesia (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia), 2021
Strengthening Learning Progression (LP) for students' reasoning abilities is important, especially learning about diseases in Indonesia. This study aimed to map the learning progression of disease in Indonesia, compare and analyze its similarities and differences with the LP designed by National Research Council (NRC). This qualitative research to…

Olander, Clas – Journal of Biological Education, 2013
This paper explores affordances in teaching evolution, especially those in which evolution is made relevant to and argued for in a grade 9 biology classroom, thus giving potential answers to the pupils' legitimate question,"'why am I learning evolution?" The aim of the paper is methodological in the sense that it explores whether the…

Gebbels, Susan; Hunter, Jo; Nunoo, Francis K. E.; Tagoe, E.; Evans, Stewart M. – Journal of Biological Education, 2012
Pupils aged 12-14 from the University of Ghana Primary and Junior High School conducted studies off the coast adjacent to Accra, including a field visit to explore the effects of climate change on the country's biology, ecology and physical environment. They composed poems and made paintings about the coast and sea as means of conveying their…
