In recent years, single-subject experimental courses have not been able to meet the demands of the comprehensive development of life sciences. This study is based on two fundamental disciplines, molecular biology and metabolomics, with the analysis and intervention of tumor-related genes as the starting point. A comprehensive experimental course…

Literacy scholars have called for writing instruction to promote civic engagement, student agency, and multimodal composing. This study addressed this call by describing a research-practice partnership to reimagine writing instruction in a high school English course by incorporating human-centered design challenges. Using case study methods, we…

In transitioning to Industry 5.0, vocational education often emphasizes hard skills, neglecting the crucial balance with soft skills, especially interpersonal skills, essential for this era. This oversight may impair workforce effectiveness and economic competitiveness. This study explores vocational teachers' and students' perceptions regarding…

Students with special educational needs (SEN) are often left behind in science education, and research largely ignores this population. In particular, very limited research examines the intersection between the nature of science (NOS) and special education (SPED). To address this gap, the study investigated 18 preservice SPED teachers' NOS plans…

The call for the implementation of integrated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (iSTEM) teaching has been on the rise. This teaching approach helps students to develop innovative skills and meet twenty-first century challenges. However, teachers need to possess positive attitudes toward iSTEM teaching to implement it. Therefore,…

Collaborative learning methods are increasing in popularity as a way of improving student performance and involvement in undergraduate courses. For this study, a group quiz format was used in an attempt to improve course grades and engagement in an introductory meat science course. Six group quizzes and six individual quizzes were taken by 70…

Recent K-12 science reforms necessitate a shift in curriculum and instruction to support coherence from the students' perspective. This coherence emerges when students see their science work as addressing and making progress on their questions and problems. Storyline curricular units afford student coherence, but teachers need support to craft…

This article shares the first author's experiences at a high school in Fez, Morocco, while implementing education for sustainable development (ESD) in the curriculum. In this action research project, the researcher aimed to embed ESD in the current school curriculum and evaluate whether the strategies and methods used affected the students'…

Recent policies and programs in science education underscore a need to address "opportunity gaps" for students who are parts of minoritized social, cultural, or racial/ethnic groups. In order to implement professional learning for teachers to assist them in effectively supporting all students, it is critical to understand the classroom…

This study utilizes action research to examine the design and implementation of inquiry-based teaching in a middle school social studies classroom.
