We investigated the impact of an assignment wrapper in promoting self-regulation of learning in a series of written assignments for a First-Year Biology laboratory. Students completed a planning survey prior to submitting an Introduction assignment. Upon receipt of the graded Introduction, students completed an assignment wrapper, two more written…

Active learning, including student thinking and discussion in class, has been shown to increase student learning gains. However, it is less clear how instructor-level variation in the implementation and timing of active learning activities affects student gains. Our study aims to investigate the extent to which the time spent on individual…

Walck-Shannon, Elise M.; Rowell, Shaina F.; Frey, Regina F. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Students' study sessions outside class are important learning opportunities in college courses. However, we often depend on students to study effectively without explicit instruction. In this study, we described students' self-reported study habits and related those habits to their performance on exams. Notably, in these analyses, we controlled…

Jason L. Kester; Leslie Ann Bross – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2024
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a technology-based self-monitoring application, I-Connect, to enhance the on-task behavior of five secondary students (ages 15-16) with autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability, and specific learning disability during Biology instruction in a rural special education classroom. We…

Chrissy Spencer; Aakanksha Angra; Kata Dósa; Abigail Jones – International Review of Research in Open and Distributed Learning, 2025
The high cost of commercial textbooks in higher education creates barriers to equitable access to learning materials and negatively impacts student performance. Open educational resources (OER) offer a cost-effective alternative, but their impact on student learning remains a critical question. This study directly compared student outcomes between…

Kirby, Caitlin K.; Fleming-Davies, Arietta; White, Peter J. T. – American Biology Teacher, 2019
Creating and interpreting visual displays of data is an important component of quantitative and scientific literacy. We examined a figure-analysis activity called "Figure of the Day" (FotD) and its impact on undergraduate biology students' figure creation skills. The treatment FotD activity required that students interpret a figure with…

Bos, Nynke; Groeneveld, Caspar; van Bruggen, Jan; Brand-Gruwel, Saskia – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2016
Universities increasingly record lectures and make them available online for students. Though the technology to record these lectures is now solidly implemented and embedded in many institutions, the impact of the usage of recorded lectures on exam performance is not clear. The purpose of the current study is to address the use of recorded…

Morrison, Catherine; McDougall, Dennis; Black, Rhonda S.; King-Sears, Margaret E. – Journal of College Teaching & Learning, 2014
Results from a multiple baseline with changing conditions design across high school students with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) indicated that the students increased the percentage of independent work they completed in their general education biology class after learning tactile-cued self-monitoring. Students maintained high…

Perry, Judy; Klopfer, Eric – Computers in the Schools, 2014
The integration of learning games into schools holds significant promise, yet faces numerous obstacles. Ubiquitous games (casual games for smart phones) attempt to motivate students to engage repeatedly with content beyond school, while enabling teachers to facilitate deeper reflection on game-related curricula during class. During a two-year…

R. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2014
There is widespread agreement that science, technology, engineering, and mathematics programs should provide undergraduates with research experience. Practical issues and limited resources, however, make this a challenge. We have developed a bioinformatics project that provides a course-based research experience for students at a diverse group of…

Round, Jennifer E.; Campbell, A. Malcolm – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2013
The ability to interpret experimental data is essential to understanding and participating in the process of scientific discovery. Reading primary research articles can be a frustrating experience for undergraduate biology students because they have very little experience interpreting data. To enhance their data interpretation skills, students…

Annetta, Leonard A.; Cheng, Meng-Tzu; Holmes, Shawn – Research in Science & Technological Education, 2010
As twenty-first century skills become a greater focus in K-12 education, an infusion of technology that meets the needs of today's students is paramount. This study looks at the design and creation of a Multiplayer Educational Gaming Application (MEGA) for high school biology students. The quasi-experimental, qualitative design assessed the…

Pastore, Raymond S. – ProQuest LLC, 2009
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of visual representations and time-compressed instruction on learning and learners' perceptions of cognitive load. Time-compressed instruction refers to instruction that has been increased in speed without sacrificing quality. It was anticipated that learners would be able to gain a conceptual…

Haigh, Mavis – Research in Science Education, 2007
Creativity is recognised as a valuable human quality for personal, social, technological and economic reasons and many school curriculum documents assert that creativity can be taught. In science education it is often argued that it is through engagement in practical work that students develop their possibility thinking and problem solving…

Bos, Floris A. B. H.; Terlouw, Cees; Pilot, Albert – Educational Research and Evaluation, 2009
In line with the cognitive theory of multimedia learning by Moreno and Mayer (2007), an interactive, multimodal learning environment was designed for the pretraining of science concepts in the joint area of physics, chemistry, biology, applied mathematics, and computer sciences. In the experimental set up, a pretest was embedded in order to…
