Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Cooper, Katelyn M.; Schinske, Jeffrey N.; Tanner, Kimberly D. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
A key tenet of the nature of science is that "knowledge, although reliable and durable, is never absolute or certain" and is subject to change with the accrual of new bodies of evidence (Lederman "et al." 2002). Similarly, pedagogical choices grounded in scientific teaching would also be expected to be modified, refined, and…

Keller, Arielle S.; Davidesco, Ido; Tanner, Kimberly D. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
Attention is thought to be the gateway between information and learning, yet there is much we do not understand about how students pay attention in the classroom. Leveraging ideas from cognitive neuroscience and psychology, we explore a framework for understanding attention in the classroom, organized along two key dimensions: internal/external…

Investigating Student Perceptions of Instructor Talk: Alignment with Researchers' Categorizations and Analysis of Remembered Language
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Ovid, Dax; Rice, Mallory M.; Luna, Joshua Vargas; Tabayoyong, Karen; Lajevardi, Parinaz; Tanner, Kimberly D. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Instructor Talk--the noncontent language used by an instructor during class time--is likely to influence learning environments in science classrooms from the student perspective. Despite Instructor Talk being found in every science course thus far, investigations into student perceptions and memories of it are limited. We investigated to what…

Many efforts to improve science teaching in higher education focus on a few faculty members at an institution at a time, with limited published evidence on attempts to engage faculty across entire departments. We created a long-term, department-wide collaborative professional development program, Biology Faculty Explorations in Scientific Teaching…
