Giles, Ingelise; Cook, Nicole; Hazari, Zahra; Fernandez, Maria; Kramer, Laird – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
In response to the demand for more STEM-certified teachers, identity has emerged as a theoretical lens for examining how candidates can be recruited into and retained in the teaching profession. This study explores the intersection between teaching identity and disciplinary identity as they relate to the development of a disciplinary teaching…

Friesen, Rebecca; Cimetta, Adriana – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Increased sustainable access to undergraduate research opportunities, particularly for historically underrepresented populations, involves transforming departmental and institutional cultures, which is time-consuming and expensive. Competing university interests and tightening budgets necessitate finding effective and affordable ways to implement…

Lucietto, Anne; Buckner, Holden; Munguia, Antonia – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Prior research in student retention emphasizes that building students' connections with the institution and their peers is key. Students from underrepresented populations often lack these connections, making them more prone to dropping out or transferring majors, especially in high-pressure engineering and polytechnic programs. In this article, we…

Kulesza, Amy E.; Gallant, Dorinda J. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Graduate teaching assistants (TAs) may identify with multiple roles during their introductory biology teaching experiences. This study developed an instrument that measures TA role identity in introductory biology. Initial development and content validation of the Biology Teaching Assistant Role Identity Questionnaire (BTARIQ) occurred in four…

Chaumba, Jeff B.; Chaumba, Josphine – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Spatial reasoning is one of the most challenging skills to master in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. This article reports the results of a teaching intervention that involved using wooden blocks to enhance the development of spatial reasoning in an undergraduate-level introductory geology course. Wooden blocks…

Evangelisto, Christa – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
This qualitative research study aimed to discover what obstacles and supports community college teachers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) face when teaching critical-thinking skills in their courses. The research was conducted using a basic qualitative research design that employed interviews to learn about the…

Smith, Cody; Menon, Deepika; Wierzbicki, Annette; Dauer, Jenny – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Undergraduate and graduate teaching assistants (TAs) are tasked with instructing undergraduate courses with little to no professional development (PD). To better develop PD opportunities, it is important to understand the benefits of improving TAs' self-efficacy and the stressors associated with their roles. This study investigated how stress…

King, Christine; Denaro, Kameryn; Sato, Brian – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Despite more women and underrepresented students entering engineering, there are still gaps in achievement. A potential remedy is to establish equitable team dynamics during groupwork. Groupware systems have been implemented in the workforce and, recently, piloted in undergraduate lowerdivision education to establish team norms. Our prior work…

Murry, Adam T.; Yuan, Nan; Atkinson, Dean – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Many undergraduates use research internships to gain experience for graduate school. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs involve heavy research and lab work duties, for which students are often unprepared and lack opportunities for practice. Evidence supports Undergraduate Research Experience (URE) programs' ability…

Hill, Cameron J.; Barrasso, Anthony P.; Spilios, Kathryn E. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Learning Assistant (LA) programs oversee and support undergraduate instructors and faculty members who work together to facilitate student learning in a variety of classroom settings. The success of an LA program is tied to experiences of the participants; therefore, understanding the perceptions of LAs and faculty is central to driving…

How Do Students Interact with the Primary Scientific Literature in an Undergraduate Science Program?
Hou, By Yi; Verkade, Heather; van Driel, Jan – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
The ability to read, understand, and interpret primary scientific literature is an essential skill for undergraduate students in science. This study aimed to provide a detailed understanding of how second- and third-year undergraduate students in a biochemistry and molecular biology major at the University of Melbourne in Australia feel about…

Bahng, E. J.; Hauptman, John; Lowery, Jennifer – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
This article describes and illustrates a physics course for first-year college students whose only knowledge of physics is that they do not like the subject. The physics content is driven entirely by what appears in the daily newspapers and generally covers most physics topics in a semester. This course was structured as a learning community that…

Johnson, Sara L.; Bodner, George M. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Undergraduate research is a high-impact educational practice for which effective mentoring has been identified as a key factor in determining its success. Some researchers have argued that effective mentors help increase students' independence and ownership of the research project. This case study used conversation analysis to examine recorded…

Jones, Elizabeth V.; Evans, Michael; Shepler, Carrie – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
In response to remote learning needs during the COVID-19 pandemic, introductory lecture and laboratory courses typically delivered fully in person were offered in a completely virtual format for the first time. Introductory laboratory courses are pivotal foundations for future discipline-specific learning and serve as prerequisites for a myriad of…

Doucette, Danny; Singh, Chandralekha – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
The collaborative nature of introductory college science labs means that labs can play a major role in boosting students' interest in experimental science when they work together in small groups. However, collaboration in lab courses is not always positive for all students. We report on a study that documented how women in mixed-gender groups in a…
