Julie Tomczak – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This action research study aimed to find ways to adjust my practice by incorporating inquiry-based, science activities and virtual simulations to improve student conceptual understanding of physical and chemical changes. A multi-lesson, curricular intervention combining inquiry-based activities and virtual simulations was developed using…

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…

Martella, Amedee Marchand; Demmig-Adams, Barbara – Journal on Excellence in College Teaching, 2018
International students outperform U.S. students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), while U.S. students increasingly leave these high-demand areas. To improve STEM education, it is imperative to determine the most effective and efficient instructional and organizational practices in these courses. This article identifies…

Chan, Benny C.; Baker, Joseph L.; Bunagan, Michelle R.; Ekanger, Levi A.; Gazley, J. Lynn; Hunter, Rebecca A.; O'Connor, Abby R.; Triano, Rebecca M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The College of New Jersey's Chemistry Department and School of Science have been strategically transforming our teaching, learning, and mentoring environments for over a decade through programs that are targeted toward "new majority" students: low-income, first generation, and historically marginalized races and ethnicities. Recently, we…

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…

Atkinson, Lucy; Dunlop, Lynda; Bennett, Judith; Fairhurst, Peter; Moore, Alistair – School Science Review, 2020
'Best Evidence Science Teaching' (BEST) is a collection of open-access, research-evidence-informed resources for science teaching at 11-14. BEST includes progression toolkits comprising sequenced learning steps, diagnostic questions and response activities. Case studies illustrate how teachers are using BEST resources. Observations and interview…

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…
