Peart, Daniel J.; Keane, Karen M.; Allen, Georgia; Bruce-Martin, Claire; Rumbold, Penny L. S. – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
The aim of this study was to investigate if videos created by teaching staff had a positive impact on student learning of integrative physiological concepts. Eighteen undergraduate students enrolled on a sport and exercise science degree attended an introduction to immunology short course. All students were taught together and then split into two…

Angosto Sánchez, Irene; Morcillo Ortega, Juan Gabriel – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Knowledge about plant nutrition and photosynthesis is key to the scientific literacy of citizens. However, numerous studies have shown the existence of about 50 alternative ideas related to this content. In this work, carried out based on a reflection-action process, two studies based on the ideas of our 12-18 year old students are presented, as…

Barnes, Rebecca Louise – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Games can help learners of all ages retain knowledge and build skills such as critical thinking. As such, they could be a useful tool in supporting practical training at the university level. This paper describes the development, use, and evaluation of a card game based on protein purification techniques, for a large cohort of undergraduates…

Deveci, Isa; Karteri, Ibrahim – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Context-based learning has been a highly preferred approach in science education in recent years. However, it can be seen that context-based learning has been neglected in environmental education. This study provides clues as to how the context-based learning approach is used in environmental education. It also shows that environmental measurement…

Sanchez-Muñoz, Raul; Carrió, Mar; Rodríguez, Gemma; Pérez, Nora; Moyano, Elisabeth – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
The professional profiles of future scientists need to undergo a deep and rapid change to address recent advances in biomedical sciences and the social and environmental contexts in which we currently live. For instance, they have to be trained to be able to develop innovative and creative strategies for solving complex problems under a…

Chitra, Ebenezer; Ramamurthy, Srinivasan; Mohamed, Shar Mariam; Nadarajah, Vishna Devi – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Measurement of multiple competencies of students is getting more emphasis in undergraduate education validating the need for work-ready graduates. We developed the objective structured laboratory examination (OSLE) to measure the practical competencies of final year biomedical science students. This paper analyses the impact of OSLE on students'…

Virtanen, Olli; Constantinidou, Emanuella; Tyystjärvi, Esa – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Plant leaves are green because they contain the green photosynthetic pigments, chlorophylls a and b. Popular science literature, and sometimes even textbooks, state that the greenness is caused by reflection of green light by chlorophyll. In the present study, we compared the reflectance spectra of green leaves to yellow or white leaves of the…

Foresto, Emiliano; Nievas, Fiorela; Giordano, Walter; Bogino, Pablo – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Despite the growing importance of agricultural microbiology at the applied, productive and ecological levels, undergraduate degrees in Agronomy generally do not feature much microbiological experimentation. To address this deficiency, we have designed an experimental programme that evaluates the potential of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria…

Bain, Stevie A.; Meagher, Thomas R.; Barker, Daniel – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Bioinformatics is the use of computers in biology, particularly to analyse DNA and protein sequences and associated data. Bioinformatics has become crucial to most areas of life sciences research. However, bioinformatics education has not kept up with the pace of these advances. To help address this problem, we have designed an open-access…

Castro, Kathleen Mahra da Silva Alcântara; Amado, Talita Ferreira; Bidau, Claudio Juan; Martinez, Pablo Ariel – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Natural history museums (NHM) are important for students' learning and motivation. However, the lack or scarcity of NHMs in countries with emerging markets may hamper the learning process. Virtual 3D models represent an important tool to counterbalance the lack of access of students to NHMs. Our study aims to understand if the use of 3D models may…

Franklin, Daniel N.; Harrison, Brittany – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Quantitative abilities and techniques are vital in modern biological sciences from lab calculations and classical hypothesis testing to the growth of 'omics' and big data. Long before the employability at Higher Education can be considered, the transition between Secondary and Higher Education must be. Students doing biological sciences degrees at…

Monkovic, Julia Marie; Jones, Serena Monique; Nicolas, Madeleine; Katyal, Priya; Punia, Kamia; Noland, Damon; Montclare, Jin Kim – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
While Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education is essential in the high school curriculum, it often carries a reputation of being formidable and overwhelming. The resulting unease students often face inhibits their ability to learn effectively; thus it can be beneficial to integrate a more familiar approach to teach them…

Krell, Moritz; Schmidt, Jonas – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Using living organisms in biology education is a common practice that provides students with direct contact with living beings in the classroom. Several benefits and barriers of using organisms in classrooms have been proposed in the literature. Hence, biology teachers should carefully consider the pros and cons of using living organisms, and…

Sung, Rou-Jia; Swarat, Su L.; Lo, Stanley M. – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Exams constitute the predominant form of summative assessment in undergraduate biology education, with the assumption that exam performance should reflect student conceptual understanding. Previous work highlights multiple examples in which students can answer exam problems correctly without the corresponding conceptual understanding. This…

The aim of this study was to investigate pre-service science teachers' development of the quality of written arguments using science writing heuristic approach and pre-service science teachers' views about the science writing heuristic and its argument components in a General Biology Laboratory Course II. The study was carried out with 21…
