Downey, Ryan M.; Downey, K. Breana; Jacobs, Jessica; Korthas, Holly; Melchor, George S.; Speidell, Andrew; Waguespack, Hannah; Mulroney, Susan E.; Myers, Adam K. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2022
Graduate students intending to pursue an academic career in the sciences have much to gain by learning to teach science but often have limited training opportunities. In response to this need, we designed a one-semester course, Learning Design in Science Education (LDSE), in which students receive formal training in pedagogical theory with role…

VanUitert, Victoria J.; Kennedy, Michael J.; Romig, John Elwood; Carlisle, Lindsay M. – Learning Disabilities: A Contemporary Journal, 2020
Science includes a multitude of specialized terms that are not consistently taught using effective practices. Often, students with disabilities rely on ineffective strategies in order to memorize word definitions, which inhibits their science achievement. Using a counter-balanced design, we tested whether having access to multimedia videos that…

Terrazas-Arellanes, Fatima Elvira; Gallard, Alejandro J.; Strycker, Lisa; Walden, Emily – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2017
Even with recent advancements, education inequities in science remain for students with learning disabilities (SWLDs) and English learners (ELs), as evidenced through poor national assessment performance. When leveraged appropriately, educational technology provides a pathway for disadvantaged students to receive equal learning access. Project…
