Lucía Casas-Quiroga; Beatriz Crujeiras-Pérez – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
This study examines the epistemic disciplinary knowledge that students consider when addressing a real food emergency that requires their engagement in inquiry and argumentation practices. The study comprised two phases: (1) designing an experiment to study the emergency and (2) evaluating the real outcome of the emergency. The participants were…

Trew, Alison J.; Early, Craig; Ellis, Rebecca; Nash, Julia; Pemberton, Katharine; Tyler, Paul; Skerry, Caroline; Bird, Lucy; Shallcross, Naomi K. R.; Harrison, Timothy G.; Shallcross, Dudley E. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Topics associated with the biological sciences form a significant fraction of the curriculum in science at primary school level in the U.K. In this methodology paper we demonstrate how a wide range of research articles associated with the biological sciences can be disseminated to a primary school audience and how children can carry out…

Atchia, Shakeel M. C. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Reflection on current practices is key to the transformation of teachers into reflexive practitioners. This study describes how design thinking was integrated in Schön's 'reflection in and on' model, to transform traditional teaching of Biology into constructivist learning. As a first step, the reflection model was used to identify limitations in…

Lewis, Elizabeth – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Case studies of two biology teachers, Cathy and David, from the same minority-majority, urban U.S. high school, provide insights into their instructional practices while they engaged in long-term professional development (PD). Findings suggest why science teachers engaged with PD may, or may not, adopt more adaptive pedagogical approaches in the…

Jiménez, Isabel; Amat, Arnau; Codony, Lídia – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This study examines the development of the concept of the ecological niche among 10-11-year-old students and their ability to use this concept to give their opinions on the socially relevant and controversial possibility that wolf populations might be established in the mountains surrounding the school. A total of 21 elementary school students…

Seixas Mello, Paula; Cotta Natale, Caio; Marzin-Janvier, Patricia; Vieira, Leda Quercia; Manzoni-de-Almeida, Daniel – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This study is a follow-up to the analysis of an inquiry-based learning activity applied to students in a public university in Brazil. We advocate that an effective education in immunology must incorporate elements that are essential to research in the area, such as generating and analysing data. These elements would empower students to apply…

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…

Ambrosino, Christine M.; Rivera, Malia Ana J. – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
This high school-level, place-based, inquiry-driven laboratory module familiarises students with techniques used to analyse animal behaviour while facilitating the development of the observational skills highlighted by the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Throughout the module, students observe, quantify, and discuss local invertebrate…

Qureshi, Saad – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Biomimicry is a useful method to develop students' skills, such as design and systems thinking, particularly when complemented with inquiry-based learning. The research seeks to uncover how students engage in the biomimicry process and what types of designs they produce to reveal insights that could assist educators in teaching biomimicry. A study…

Fornsaglio, Jamie L.; Sheffler, Zachary; Hull, David C.; Bobak, Angela – Journal of Biological Education, 2021
Contemporary research suggests an urgent need for educators to improve the quality of STEM teaching and learning. We developed a semester-long model curriculum for STEM teaching and learning. The overarching goal of this study was to establish an authentic inquiry approach to advanced laboratory courses that is interdisciplinary, collaborative,…

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…

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…

Martins-Loução, Maria Amélia; Gaio-Oliveira, Gisela; Barata, Raquel; Carvalho, Nuno – Journal of Biological Education, 2020
The purpose of this study was to examine if teachers who participated in a continuous professional development (CPD) programme were able to develop an understanding of inquiry-based science education (IBSE). The CPD programme was designed to IBSE in both formal and informal, Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC) contexts, to discuss its role as a…

Asmus, Stephen E.; Szalanczy, Alexandria M.; Murray, Shannon K.; Overstreet, Spencer A.; Vokoun, Amanda R. – Journal of Biological Education, 2020
Programmed cell death, or apoptosis, is a cellular pathway by which individual cells self-destruct for the benefit of the organism. In this practical paper, we describe laboratory exercises with an inquiry-based learning (IBL) approach in which undergraduate students compared apoptosis among different types of cultured cells. Ultraviolet (UV)…
