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…

Leonie I. Johann; Fredrik K. H. Rusk; Michael J. Reiss; Jorge Groß – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
This study reports on the theoretical- and empirical-based design and evaluation of cell membrane biology learning activities within the Model of Educational Reconstruction and experiential realism. First, we designed analogy-based learning activities by considering students' and scientists' conceptions as described in the literature. Secondly, we…

Ibarra, Luis Exequiel; Foresto, Emiliano – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Flow cytometry has become an important tool in the fields of veterinary, medicine, and biological sciences in general. However, in the introductory and even in advanced university degree courses, students do not have many opportunities to be in contact with this type of technology. This situation motivated us to design a simple and inexpensive…

Kamarainen, Amy; Grotzer, Tina; Thompson, Meredith; Sabey, David; Haag, Brooke – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Education reform calls for portraying science as a process of inquiry and argumentation grounded in the epistemic traditions of a domain. While experimentation is a core scientific investigation strategy, diverse approaches are represented across different domains of science. Ecosystem scientists use experiments as a core part of their…

Torres, Mariela Analía; Lacosegliaz, Mariano José; Viola, Carolina María; Pajot, Hipólito Fernando; Nieto-Peñalver, Carlos Gabriel – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
In the environment, communication among microorganisms is a key aspect of their lives. Through communication, single cells of a microbial population can coordinate their gene expression and, in consequence, their physiology. Quorum sensing systems (QS) are one of these mechanisms that allow this communication through the production and detection…

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…

Price, J. A.; Olver, J. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Most undergraduate students do not have practical experience working with model organisms despite having theoretical knowledge of their importance. This practical was developed to offer students experience working with three species of nematode, including "Caenorhabditis elegans." In the first task, students prepare slides of three…

Robredo, Beatriz; Fernández-Fernández, Rosa; Torres, Carmen – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Research and education are two areas often compartmentalised or separated by an abyss, linked in this study by a service-learning methodology, the Small World Initiative project. The programme instruction starts at the university, reaches secondary school and returns to university to complete the research, challenging young students to discover…

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…

Vergara Sandoval, Camilo Sebastián; López Simó, Victor; Couso Lagarón, Digna – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
This research aims to analyse the progression of 13-14 year-old students' ideas regarding the concept of energy transfer by means of heat in three biological mechanisms of thermal regulation. The outputs of 270 students, grouped in 77 cooperative groups, are analysed by comparing their explanations before and after conducting an experimental…

Zhao, Yanlu; Lim, Minyoung; Choi, Sungmoon; Yu, Junhua – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
The attractive photophysical properties of luminescent nanoparticles have prompted numerous studies on their synthesis and biological applications. Due to the complexity of components, sizes, morphologies, and strong light scattering of the nanoparticles the absorption spectrum alone is not enough for characterising and analysing the real…

Wildan, Ardan; Yau, Chin Doong; Ng, Enoch Ming Wei; Xiao, Kevin; Liew, Oi Wah; Ng, Tuck Wah – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
The monitoring of pH changes due to dissolved carbon dioxide from algal balls offers a way for students to acquire good understanding of the processes of photosynthesis and respiration. Here, 54 high school participants were enlisted to conduct the experiment physically and with an Augmented Reality (AR) tool developed. A survey conducted after…

Bonachea, Luis A. – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
While metabolism is a fundamental process in physiology, the measurement of metabolism by living animals often requires specialized and expensive equipment. In 2016, I developed a novel laboratory exercise for animal physiology students where students were able to observe the effects of temperature and long-term temperature acclimation on the…

Talano, Melina A.; Ibañez, Sabrina; Sosa Alderete, Lucas G.; Wevar Oller, Ana L.; Vezza, Mariana E.; Medina, María I.; Agostini, Elizabeth – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Universities play an important role in society and in providing solutions for its problems. Environmental pollution is one of the most serious problems facing the world today. Thus, universities are increasingly including subjects related to the environment and its conservation both in their educational and research programmes. Generally,…

Boeris, Paola S.; Bergero, María F.; Heredia, Romina M.; Liffourrena, Andrés S.; Lucchesi, Gloria I. – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
The contamination of wastewater with metals and the use of biotechnologies to remove them is commonly discussed in theoretical biology, microbiology and biotechnology classes aimed at undergraduate students. This work introduces an easy, economical and safe practical laboratory class related to this topic. The practice consists in performing batch…
