Rosemond, Sabriya N.; Palmer, Erin S.; Wong, Kelly C. Y.; Murthy, Vishnu; Stacy, Angelica M. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2020
Pervasive narratives about who and what counts as competent in science disproportionately impact students historically underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), and are perpetuated in the design of STEM courses. Equity-focused education literature argues for the need to develop robust learning ecologies that support…

Waters, Carolyn; Cook, Kristin – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2020
With increased urgency to address environmental issues comes the need to engage more than self-identified environmentalists in solutions. Photo-elicitation techniques, such as PhotoVoice (Wang & Burris, 1994) described here, have been shown to support the development of student engagement with environmental science topics that relate directly…

Long, Margaret; Cottrell-Yongye, Adrienne; Huynh, Tyler – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2020
Gwinnett Technical College (GTC), established in 1984, is the second-largest technical college in Georgia. As a two-year open-access college, GTC and other technical and community colleges are significant in educating STEM and nonSTEM majors in the scientific process and scientific literacy. To increase the success of students enrolled in…

Wolfson, Adele J.; Armstrong, Justin – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2020
First-Year Seminars (FYS) offer a unique mode of introducing college students to new topics, research practices, and approaches to learning that they may not have been exposed to in high school. In this article, we outline the successes and challenges of team teaching a combined cultural anthropology and biochemistry course on the topic of blood,…

Faulconer, Emily K.; Faulconer, Laura S.; Hanamean, James R. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2019
At first glance, scientific laboratory experiences might appear to be challenging to move to the cloud. Skeptics may point to sensory feedback limitations and inequivalence of student outcomes. However, emerging data increasingly provide evidence that scientific laboratory courses are not only amenable to online learning, but also can deliver…

Smith, Gary A.; Stark, Audriana; Sanchez, Julie – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2019
A phenomenographic study at a research university identified five categories of description for how STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) instructors conceptualize the design and redesign of undergraduate courses. These categories form a hierarchical outcomes space with increasing complexity of awareness of the phenomenon. The…

Moy, Magdalene K.; Hammrich, Penny L.; Kabnick, Karen – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2019
As undergraduate institutions rely more heavily on teaching assistants (TAs) they are simultaneously encouraging implementation of course-based research experiences (CBREs). Due to the dynamic nature of CBREs, it is challenging to assign novice TAs to instruct these types of classes. A 10-week CBRE was designed to guide both TAs and their students…
