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.…

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…

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…

Owen, Gavin R.; Whalley, Natalie; Brenner, Elisabeth – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Undergraduate science degrees in South Africa seldom offer explicit courses focussing on improving the disciplinary writing skills required for effectively communicating scientific research. Similarly, most students entering the 'Honours' degree in Molecular Medicine at a South African university have not commonly been afforded opportunities to…

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,…

Shrader, Adrian M.; Louw, Ina – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
For conservation biologists to be effective, they need to be able to communicate to the general public. In today's world, communicating means tapping into social media platforms. To get our final-year undergraduate students to engage with using social media as a communication tool, we had each of them create a video, blog, or podcast about a…

Sheldrake, Richard; Reiss, Michael J. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Biology education aims to inspire interest, curiosity, and understanding about the natural world, foster children's interests and orientations towards supporting and protecting nature, and support children towards biology-related careers (including those involving nature and animals). However, it remains less clear how these views might associate…

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…

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…

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…

García Fernández, Beatriz; Ruiz-Gallardo, José-Reyes – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This study compares anatomy diagram production skills as a part of Visual Literacy competence in Biology Education in schoolchildren (n = 254) and pre-service teachers (n = 282). Both groups produced cross-sectional anatomy diagrams from knowledge acquired using frontal views and answered a questionnaire on their difficulties with the exercise.…

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…

Jiménez, Isabel; Amat, Arnau; Codony, Lídia – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This study examines the development of the concept of the ecological niche among 10-11-year-old students and their ability to use this concept to give their opinions on the socially relevant and controversial possibility that wolf populations might be established in the mountains surrounding the school. A total of 21 elementary school students…
