Undergraduate research and laboratory experiences provide a wide range of benefits to student learning in science and are integral to imbed authentic research experiences in biology labs. While the benefit of courses with research experience is widely accepted, it can be challenging to measure conceptual research skills in a quick and easily…

Avena, Jennifer S.; McIntosh, Betsy B.; Whitney, Oscar N.; Wiens, Ashton; Knight, Jennifer K. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Problem solving is a critical skill in many disciplines but is often a challenge for students to learn. To examine the processes both students and experts undertake to solve constructed-response problems in genetics, we collected the written step-by-step procedures individuals used to solve problems in four different content areas. We developed a…

Haag, Kirstin; Pickett, Sarah B.; Trujillo, Gloriana; Andrews, Tessa C. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2023
Could co-teaching be a mechanism to support the adoption of evidence-based teaching strategies? Co-teaching has been proposed as a lever for fostering pedagogical change and has key attributes of a successful change strategy, but does research indicate co-teaching effectively shifts instructional practices? Based on our review of the emerging…

Slominski, Tara; Fugleberg, Andrew; Christensen, Warren M.; Buncher, John B.; Momsen, Jennifer L. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2020
National calls to transform undergraduate classrooms highlight the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). As biologists, we use principles from chemistry and physics to make sense of the natural world. One might assume that scientists, regardless of discipline, use similar principles,…

Harsh, Joseph A.; Campillo, Molly; Murray, Caylin; Myers, Christina; Nguyen, John; Maltese, Adam V. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
Given the centrality of data visualizations in communicating scientific information, increased emphasis has been placed on the development of students' graph literacy--the ability to generate and interpret data representations--to foster understanding of domain-specific knowledge and the successful navigation of everyday life. Despite prior…

Newman, Dina L.; Coakley, Aeowynn; Link, Aidan; Mills, Korinne; Wright, L. Kate – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Concepts of molecular biology and genetics are difficult for many biology undergraduate students to master yet are crucial for deep understanding of how life works. By asking students to draw their ideas, we attempted to uncover the mental models about genes and gene expression held by biology students (n = 23) and experts (n = 18) using…

Nelms, April A.; Segura-Totten, Miriam – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
Student engagement in the analysis of primary scientific literature increases critical thinking, scientific literacy, data evaluation, and science process skills. However, little is known about the process by which expertise in reading scientific articles develops. For this reason, we decided to compare how faculty experts and student novices…

Jeffery, Kathleen A.; Pelaez, Nancy; Anderson, Trevor R. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2018
To keep biochemistry instruction current and relevant, it is crucial to expose students to cutting-edge scientific research and how experts reason about processes governed by thermodynamics and kinetics such as protein folding and dynamics. This study focuses on how experts explain their research into this topic with the intention of informing…

Bissonnette, Sarah A.; Combs, Elijah D.; Nagami, Paul H.; Byers, Victor; Fernandez, Juliana; Le, Dinh; Realin, Jared; Woodham, Selina; Smith, Julia I.; Tanner, Kimberly D. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2017
While there have been concerted efforts to reform undergraduate biology toward teaching students to organize their conceptual knowledge like experts, there are few tools that attempt to measure this. We previously developed the Biology Card Sorting Task (BCST), designed to probe how individuals organize their conceptual biological knowledge.…

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…

Hoskinson, Anne-Marie; Maher, Jessica Middlemis; Bekkering, Cody; Ebert-May, Diane – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2017
Calls for undergraduate biology reform share similar goals: to produce people who can organize, use, connect, and communicate about biological knowledge. Achieving these goals requires students to gain disciplinary expertise. Experts organize, access, and apply disciplinary knowledge differently than novices, and expertise is measurable. By asking…

Tripp, Brie; Shortlidge, Erin E. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2019
An expanded investment in interdisciplinary research has prompted greater demands to integrate knowledge across disciplinary boundaries. "Vision and Change" similarly made interdisciplinary expectations a key competency for undergraduate biology majors; however, we are not yet synchronized on the meaning of interdisciplinarity, making…

Dasgupta, Annwesa P.; Anderson, Trevor R.; Pelaez, Nancy J. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2016
Researchers, instructors, and funding bodies in biology education are unanimous about the importance of developing students' competence in experimental design. Despite this, only limited measures are available for assessing such competence development, especially in the areas of molecular and cellular biology. Also, existing assessments do not…

Auerbach, A. J.; Higgins, M.; Brickman, P.; Andrews, T. C. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2018
Active-learning strategies "can" improve science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) undergraduates' abilities to learn fundamental concepts and skills. However, the results instructors achieve vary substantially. One explanation for this is that instructors commonly implement active learning differently than intended. An…

Hansen, Malin J.; Birol, Gulnur – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2014
This is among the first longitudinal studies to report student attitudes across 4 yr of a university program. We found that the attitudes of students in biology become significantly more expert-like from the first year to the fourth year of the program, that is, there was a significant positive shift in students' overall percent favorable scores…
