Ethan C. Campbell; Katy M. Christensen; Mikelle Nuwer; Amrita Ahuja; Owen Boram; Junzhe Liu; Reese Miller; Isabelle Osuna; Stephen C. Riser – Journal of Geoscience Education, 2025
Scientific programming has become increasingly essential for manipulating, visualizing, and interpreting the large volumes of data acquired in earth science research. Yet few discipline-specific instructional approaches have been documented and assessed for their effectiveness in equipping geoscience undergraduate students with coding skills. Here…

Le Grande Dolino; Wilbert Lareza Jeresano; Bench Go Fabros; Eufemio Adarayan Dura Jr.; Ariel Nerizon Millare; Erickson Mahinay Noseñas; Valarie Akerson – Discover Education, 2025
Pre-tertiary students conducting authentic scientific research is an internationally occurring phenomenon, but it is currently poorly reported and understood in the literature. Consequently, how science teachers may best support students in their learning during authentic inquiry is functionally still opaque and not well-developed, and this paints…

Christopher Lore; Hee-Sun Lee; Amy Pallant; Charles Connor; Jie Chao – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2024
As computational methods are widely used in science disciplines, integrating computational thinking (CT) into classroom materials can create authentic science learning experiences for students. In this study, we classroom-tested a CT-integrated geoscience curriculum module designed for secondary students. The module consisted of three inquiry…

Rohstock, Anne – History of Education, 2021
This article charts some of the historical paths that have helped bring forth, in late-modern societies, what I call scientised educational discourses and practices. Though the project of forming the 'scientific man' can be traced back to the nineteenth century, it is argued that the nature of the project changed once it became aligned with the…

Haydon; Karla-Luise Herpoldt; Kandise Van Wormer; Celine Abell; David Baker; Alena Khmelinskaia; Neil P. King – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Undergraduate research experiences can improve student success in graduate education and STEM careers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, undergraduate researchers at our institution and many others lost their work-study research positions due to interruption of in-person research activities. This imposed a financial burden on the students and…

Anohah, Ebenezer; Oyelere, Solomon Sunday; Suhonen, Jarkko – International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning, 2017
The majority of the existing research regarding mobile learning in computing education has primarily focused on studying the effectiveness of, and in some cases reporting about, implemented mobile learning solutions. However, it is equally important to explore development and application perspectives on the integration of mobile learning into…

Tao, Jinsong; McClure, Stephen C.; Zhang, Xiaoxing; Waqas, Muhammad; Wen, Xishan – International Journal of Technology and Design Education, 2020
Assessments of new pedagogical practices usually rely on instructor oriented surveys and questionnaires to measure student perceptions of teaching methods; however, fixed response categories in structured questionnaires might bias results. This paper demonstrates a mixed methods approach using open and multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) for a…

Casola, Linda – National Academies Press, 2020
Established in December 2016, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine's Roundtable on Data Science Postsecondary Education was charged with identifying the challenges of and highlighting best practices in postsecondary data science education. Convening quarterly for 3 years, representatives from academia, industry, and…

Hickey, Timothy; Pontrello, Jason – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2016
Introductory undergraduate science courses are traditionally offered as distinct units without formalized student interaction between classes. To bridge science courses, the authors used three Honors Organic Chemistry projects paired with other science courses. The honors students delivered presentations to mainstream organic course students and…

Needle, Andrew; Corbo, Christopher; Wong, Denise; Greenfeder, Gary; Raths, Linda; Fulop, Zoltan – College Teaching, 2007
Two of this article's authors--an art professor and a biology professor--shared a project for advanced biology, art, nursing, and computer science majors involving scientific research that used digital imaging of the brain of the zebrafish, a newly favored laboratory animal. These contemporary and innovative teaching and learning practices were a…

Dyer, Betsey Dexter; LeBlanc, Mark D. – Cell Biology Education, 2002
In the first of two National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded workshops, 30 professors of biology and computer science from 18 institutions met at Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts, on June 6-7, 2002, to share ideas on how to incorporate genomics research into undergraduate curricula. The participants included nine pairs or trios of…
