Seidelin, Lars; Albrechtsen, Thomas R. S.; Schöps, Katrin; Holmer, Marianne; Wahlberg, Magnus – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
The lack of interest among pre-university students to choose STEM subjects for their higher education is a heavily debated issue in many western-world countries. To boost Danish students' interest in biology, a study event on artificial reefs was introduced when teaching marine biology in lower secondary school and upper secondary school (student…

Andic, Branko; Cvjeticanin, Stanko; Maricic, Mirjana; Steševic, Danijela – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Although very rare, the existing research on the biological education of blind people indicates that teaching content is not fully in line with the sensory perception of that content by the blind. The aim of this study is to analyse the morphological details which the blind can register in multisensory plant research and to harmonise the…

Sherman, Tyler J.; Harvey, Tanner M.; Royse, Emily A.; Heim, Ashley B.; Smith, Cara F.; Romano, Alicia B.; King, Aspen E.; Lyons, David O.; Holt, Emily A. – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Formative assessments have been shown to improve student success; however, the format in which these assessments are implemented has not been well researched. In this study, individual Anatomy and Physiology lab sections were administered formative assessments composed of either a projected (i.e. 'shared-display') quiz presentation or a…

Parsons, Alexandra E.; Heddy, Benjamin C.; Wilson, Scott N.; Williams, Leslie A.; Atkinson, Linda K.; Garn, Gregg A. – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of authentically based instruction using the 5E model as the structure for lesson delivery on student emotions and the extent to which the students perceived that the teacher was facilitating mastery goals. Participants were 241 sophomore and junior biology students in three urban high schools in…

Faraj, Santiago Enrique; Rossi, Rolando Carlos; Montes, Mónica Raquel – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
This report describes the implementation of a laboratory exercise for an advanced biochemistry or enzyme kinetics class at the undergraduate or graduate level, designed to improve understanding of protein conformational changes associated with the binding of a ligand. Students measure the fluorescence changes induced by the conformational…

Ampatzidis, Georgios; Georgakopoulou, Despoina; Kapsi, Georgia – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Students around the world demonstrate a limited conceptual understanding of sexual reproduction. A lack of understanding of how the human reproductive system works has been linked with risks such as sexually transmitted diseases and unintended pregnancies. Our focus in this paper is to explore the level of knowledge of reproductive physiology and…

Aydin, Miraç – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Research on Mobile Augmented Reality (Mobile AR) includes studies addressing Mobile AR integration into learning environments along with the quality of instructions by researchers about using mobile AR in classrooms. Findings revealed that even inexperienced teachers/pre-service science teachers who lacked any prescribed material could use mobile…

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,…

Cheplick, G. P. – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
A complex terminology developed around the evolutionary concept of adaptation. One definition of adaptation is synonymous with adaptive evolution and denotes a process of population change driven by natural selection resulting in individuals better able to survive and reproduce in a particular environment (compared to the population before the…

Using Light Stable Isotopes to Assess Stream Food Web Ecology in a General Ecology Laboratory Course
Carroll, Hannah M.; Houston, Derek D.; Ankerstjerne, Suzanne; Wanamaker, Alan D., Jr. – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Stable isotopes in natural materials provide a powerful way to study energy flow in many systems and are widely used in fields such as archaeology, ecology, forensics, geochemistry, geology, oceanography, palaeoecology and palaeoclimatology. Based on the manner in which stable isotopes fractionate in natural systems, they allow scientists to…

Unger, Shem; Rollins, Mark; Tietz, Allison; Dumais, Hailey – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
We evaluated an emerging smartphone application, iNaturalist, to increase taxonomic identification and engage first-year undergraduate biology majors in outdoor laboratories of aquatic ecosystems (stream and lake ecology) and terrestrial ecosystems (tree and leaf litter ecology). Labs involved identifying organisms using both standard field guides…

Gómez Galindo, Alma Adrianna; González Galli, Leonardo; García Franco, Alejandra – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
In this paper, we present a simulation of artificial selection of maize that can be used as a bridging case for the subsequent introduction of natural selection in school. The proposed simulation takes up essential biological elements but also has a cultural meaning for the inhabitants of some regions of Latin America. After implementing a test of…

Buske, Rodrigo; Bartholomei-Santos, Marlise Ladvocat – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Genetics is an area that is increasingly important in people's daily lives. Despite this, its teaching/learning is among the most challenging topics in biology. Several instruments were created over a number of years to ascertain the quality of teaching and learning genetics. In our study, we created a specific instrument to investigate Mendelian…

Rusmana, Ai Nurlaelasari; Aini, Rahmi Qurota; Sya'bandari, Yustika; Ha, Minsu; Shin, Sein; Lee, Jun-Ki – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Even though the concept of species is central in biology, the history of species concept and the existence of different species concepts are rarely discussed in biology classroom. This is unfortunate, as teachers could use the plurality of species concepts to enrich discussion in the classroom. Therefore, knowing the students' perception of…

Cohen, Joel I. – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Microscopy is not specifically mentioned in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and consequently secondary education limits its use to learning parts, procedures, and observing fixed specimen slides. However, when alternative approaches (See Section IV in this paper) are encouraged, microscopy provides opportunities for hands-on…
