Yildiz, Emre; Arici, Nesrin Ürün – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2021
The study aimed to scrutinize pre-service Science teachers' self-efficacy beliefs towards teaching, and their teaching skills. The study adopted the case study design, one of the qualitative research designs. The participants of the study consisted of 4 senior pre-service Science teachers who were selected using criterion sampling method, and on…

Benli Ozdemir, Esra – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2021
In the study, it was aimed to determine the misconceptions of 8th grade students about the concepts of "solid, fluid and gas pressure", to correct these misconceptions by using STEM supported Science activities, and to improve their attitudes towards Science and STEM. The study group consisted of 46 8th grade students at a public school…

Kartal, Tezcan; Kiziltepe, Ibrahim Serdar; Kartal, Busra – Journal of Education in Science, Environment and Health, 2022
The technology acceptance model (TAM) is a widely used framework to investigate factors influencing technology use in education. TAM refers to a person's technology-related attitudes and beliefs influencing intention to use and actual use of technology and seeks predictors of behaviors whether to accept or reject using technology. There are…

Pedrera, Oier; Ortega-Lasuen, Unai; Ruiz-González, Aritz; Díez, José Ramón; Barrutia, Oihana – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Although citizenship's literacy in biodiversity is a promising way of confronting its loss, the unawareness about this topic is generalised particularly regarding plants. The latter phenomenon, named Plant Blindness (PB), not only refers to the inability to notice and identify the surrounding plants, but also to the lack of knowledge about the…

Jones, Jeff C.; Bassett, Gennie M.; Lescalleet, Jacob L.; Wingert, Jason R. – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
CRISPR technologies are among the most powerful advancements in modern biology because they accurately manipulate the genomes of living cells and have the potential of curing various genetic diseases. This study examined the attitudes of undergraduate health science students towards somatic cell and germline gene editing therapies and whether…

Arikan, Kalender – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This study investigated the effects of outdoor education on a 10th grade biology curriculum in terms of the knowledge, attitudes, and retention of students compared to indoor teaching. The quasi-experimental design included three groups: experiment (OE; N = 43), control-II (indoor teaching; N = 35), and control-I (no application; N = 35). A…

García Fernández, Beatriz; Ruiz-Gallardo, José-Reyes – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
This study compares anatomy diagram production skills as a part of Visual Literacy competence in Biology Education in schoolchildren (n = 254) and pre-service teachers (n = 282). Both groups produced cross-sectional anatomy diagrams from knowledge acquired using frontal views and answered a questionnaire on their difficulties with the exercise.…

Robredo, Beatriz; Fernández-Fernández, Rosa; Torres, Carmen – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Research and education are two areas often compartmentalised or separated by an abyss, linked in this study by a service-learning methodology, the Small World Initiative project. The programme instruction starts at the university, reaches secondary school and returns to university to complete the research, challenging young students to discover…

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…

Eckert, Rebecca A.; Lamp, William O.; Marbach-Ad, Gili – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
Functional feeding guild classification of aquatic insects is partly based on mouthpart morphology, but the link between mouthpart morphology and ecological feeding roles is often missed by students in the classroom. We implemented a Jigsaw activity in a freshwater biology course to help students connect morphology and ecology. Paired students…

Kaya, Zehra; Nafiz Kaya, Osman – Journal of Teacher Education, 2023
The purpose of this study was to, first, examine the potential of lesson plans (LPs) of preservice science teachers (PSTs, N = 631) as a source for gathering rich data on their pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) and, second, qualitatively describe PSTs' reasons for the level of data richness in their LPs on PCK. PSTs' handwritten LPs were…

Jones, Jason P.; McConnell, David A. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
In the past couple of decades, the geoscience education community has made great strides toward investigating how to provide effective student learning experiences in the college setting. While experiences such as student-centered teaching strategies and course design elements are useful for the instructor, they may not make important elements of…

Bateman, Kathryn M.; Ham, Joy; Barshi, Naomi; Tikoff, Basil; Shipley, Thomas F. – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2023
Spatial skills are embedded in all aspects of the geosciences. The teaching and learning of spatial skills has been a challenging, but vital, endeavor. To support student learning of spatial skills in undergraduate courses, we designed scaffolds for spatially dependent content in a mid-level geoscience course using playdough to allow students to…

Silveira, Lucas Fagundes; Xavier, Christian Santos; Perez, Maíra Alexandre; Bozza, Dandie Antunes; Furtado-Alle, Lupe; Hass, Iris; Tureck, Luciane Viater – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
In this paper, we describe a dynamic-model as a strategy to teach DNA transcription and translation in an active way. This activity aims to provide learning beyond memorisation through the simulation of molecular processes, stimulating the elaboration of questions and hypotheses by students. The dynamic consists of four steps, starting with…

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…
