Mayara Fontanelli dos Santos; Ana Luiza de Camargo Doimo; Numbia Aparecida Lima; Josenilton de Jesus dos Santos; Marcos V. Palmeira-Mello; Caterina G. C. Marques Netto – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
The course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURE) approach is increasingly being used in undergraduate experimental courses. Here, we describe the implementation of CURE in an upper-level inorganic chemistry course, in which students were assigned different current themes to study. This paper focuses on the theme of quantum dots,…

Anderson; Chelsie Romulo – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2024
Interdisciplinary environmental and sustainability (IES) programs are different from other fields because they focus on a complex integration of humanities, social, and natural sciences concepts centered on the interactions of coupled human and natural systems. The interdisciplinary nature of IES programs does not lend itself to traditional…

Craig D. Campbell; Malcolm I. Stewart – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The reduction of nitroarenes to anilines is a key transformation with real-life context, central to the preparation of many important fine chemicals. The importance of this transformation has led to its inclusion in not only university organic chemistry courses but also preuniversity, especially in Europe. A variety of reagent combinations have…

Mahaffey, Angela L. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
This article will (1) initially outline first-year nursing and undergraduate exercise sciences student perspectives on examinations of the 2011 Michael-McFarland (M-M2011) core principles in physiology through an anonymous online survey, and (2) model an updated approach based on these qualitative findings. Briefly, for the first perspective (i of…

Ayyildiz, Yildizay; Tarhan, Leman; Gil, Aylin – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2023
Background: Research on chemistry education has found that students have commonly some difficulties in understanding chemical changes. These difficulties in the learning process have negatively affected students' success. For this reason, it is very important to overcome students' learning difficulties with new materials that prevent the…

Jodie L. Martin – TESL Canada Journal, 2025
This article describes how a class dedicated to supporting language needs in concurrent science courses developed complex grammatical literacy with an emphasis on a functional understanding of language for technicality, precision, and persuasion. The success of the curriculum was predicated on three factors: the grammatical content selection and…

We developed labs on the evolution of antibiotic resistance to assess the costs and benefits of replacing traditional laboratory exercises in an introductory biology course for majors with a course-based undergraduate research experience (CURE). To assess whether participating in the CURE imposed a cost in terms of exam performance, we implemented…

Jing Zhang; Heejeong Kim; Limei Zhang – Discover Education, 2023
The COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on higher education worldwide. In-person courses had to be quickly transited to online, including lab courses embedded with Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs). In response to this challenge, we successfully converted a fully in-person biochemistry lab that integrated with a…
