Emily K. Bremers; Olive K. McKay; Julie Dangremond Stanton – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2025
When students use metacognition, they can more effectively problem solve on their own and in groups. Most metacognition studies have focused on individual learners while a few studies have begun to explore the metacognition learners use in social settings. Little is known about the comparison between how an individual student may use metacognition…

Angie Hodge-Zickerman; Cindy S. York; Max C. Anderson – Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, 2025
This article explores inquiry-based learning (IBL) pedagogy, particularly in mathematics education, examining how it differs from problem-based learning (PBL) and case-based learning (CBL). IBL is defined as a student-centered approach involving sequenced problems or tasks that build engagement and understanding through group work. While IBL, PBL,…

Katharine Hubbard; Dominic Henri; Graham Scott; Howard Snelling; Elke Roediger – International Journal of Science Education, 2025
The COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges for practical teaching within the sciences. While many instructors adopted innovative alternatives to conventional practicals, many relied on digital approaches that did not give students hands-on experience. In this study we evaluate the use of 'at home' practical kits used in first year physics…

Rebecca K. Y. Lee; Bernard Y. N. Ng; Minghui Daisy Chen – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
During COVID-19 pandemic, there was a change in the teaching mode from face-to-face to online teaching. It was especially challenging for teachers to motivate students to learn through distance learning. This shift in teaching mode also lowered student-student and student-teacher interactions. In this project, a biochemistry courseware,…
