Carolina Parraguez; Paola Núñez; Dirk Krüger; Hernán Cofré – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Although much research exists of students' alternative conceptions about evolution and natural selection, the way in which these vary in time and how scientific explanations change during instruction remains to be described and understood. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to characterise the nature of the change in student…

Xinran Li; Xuying Wang; Guiying Weng; Chen Zhibao – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
The flipped classroom method has recently become popular in biology education. However, there is a lack of systematic and quantitative assessments on the efficiency of teaching medical microbiology using this novel approach. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis to explore the flipped classroom method's effects versus those of traditional…

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…

José Domingo Villarroel; Maria Merino; Alvaro Antón – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Previous research indicates that young children, as young as preschoolers, spontaneously draw dihedral and cyclic symmetries in their representations of the natural world. This is an intriguing find because at this age children have barely had their first contact with formal geometry and, therefore, one would not expect to find a use of symmetries…

Laboratory classes form an important aspect of bioscience education. However, this environment is challenging for students due to cognitive load and lack of confidence. Familiarising students with aspects of their laboratory classes prior to the session can improve this. This study compares the pre-laboratory scaffolding that bioscience and…

Bahar Candas; Muammer Çalik – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This study aimed to facilitate grade 8 students' conceptual understanding of 'sustainable development (SD)' via Common Knowledge Construction Model (CKCM)-oriented instruction. Through a pre-experimental research approach, the study was conducted with 31 grade 8 students drawn from a secondary school in the city of Trabzon, Turkey. A word…

Shannon Barry; K. A. Stofer; J. Loizzo; P. DiGennaro – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
High school students' perceptions often do not capture the diversity and opportunity intrinsic within science. University outreach programmes represent an ideal opportunity to increase students' exposure to diverse scientific fields and dismantle limiting perceptions. The authors examined the impact of a university-based science outreach programme…

Lesley Batty; Katie Reilly – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
The increase in student diversity, legislative changes and shift towards the social model of disability has led to greater emphasis on inclusive curricula within Higher Education (HE). Whilst there are good examples for changes in assessment, delivery and student support, specific challenges faced by Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics…

Anwar Rumjaun; Shakeel Atchia; Michael J. Reiss – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
The number of students opting for science subjects, particularly biology, beyond compulsory school level has been decreasing substantially in recent decades in Mauritius. This decline is of major concern when scientific literacy and the need for science-based employment are considered fundamental to face both local and global challenges. Although…

Yingzhi Zhang; Zhichen Li – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
We examined the effects of applying the instructional method of constructive controversy in an animal welfare unit, on middle-school students' knowledge and attitudes relating to the treatment and welfare of animals. Accordingly, we developed and implemented a four-stage instructional model centring on constructive controversy in a class of 27…

Literature affirms that teachers' difficulties in mastering the subject content and its teaching can be responsible for students' negative attitudes towards that subject. The present study sought to explore biology topics in the revised Rwandan curriculum which teachers have difficulties in teaching, the reasons for their difficulties, and ways to…

Hadi Suwono; Ndzani Latifatur Rofi'Ah; Muhammad Saefi; Rifka Fachrunnisa – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Biology education emphasises producing scientifically literate students, mastering biological knowledge, and developing critical thinking. However, in reality, biology instruction only focuses on academic achievement in the Indonesian biology curriculum. Previous research has found that scientific inquiry is a practical approach to improve…

Zohar Snapir; Galit Karadi; Michal Zion – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
We examined inquiry practices and types of knowledge presented along with paths of logical associations between inquiry questions as part of an open inquiry process. The study analysed high school biology students' scientific summaries of open inquiry processes. We found three paths of logical associations between inquiry questions -- preliminary…

Animal models are widely used in laboratory practicals in biomedical disciplines. However, experiments involving animal work are usually time-and-labor consuming. It is also costly to run an animal lab and the animal caring/holding request special training. Here we present a laboratory course design that provides students with wet lab experience…

Iqbal, Fatima; Gaffar, Fatema; Singh, Harprit – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
This study investigates the impact near-peer tutors (NPTs) have on the learning experience of students enrolled on the biomedical and medical science programmes at De Montfort University, UK. Using a questionnaire, tutees were able to comment on their confidence level on certain academic taught topics in human physiology before and after attending…
