Roberts; Meredith A. Shaddix; Bridgette N. Sullivan; Isabella M. Swan; Emily M. Hartsell; Jeffrey D. DeMeis; Sunita S. Paudel; Glen M. Borchert – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
Today, due to the size of many genomes and the increasingly large sizes of sequencing files, independently analyzing sequencing data is largely impossible for a biologist with little to no programming expertise. As such, biologists are typically faced with the dilemma of either having to spend a significant amount of time and effort to learn how…

Harney, Owen M.; Hogan, Michael J.; Quinn, Sarah – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2017
In a society which is calling for more productive modes of collaboration to address increasingly complex scientific and social issues, greater involvement of students in dialogue, and increased emphasis on collaborative discourse and argumentation, become essential modes of engagement and learning. This paper investigates the effects of…

Kuo, Eric; Hallinen, Nicole R.; Conlin, Luke D. – International Journal of Science Education, 2017
One aim of school science instruction is to help students become adaptive problem solvers. Though successful at structuring novice problem solving, step-by-step problem-solving frameworks may also constrain students' thinking. This study utilises a paradigm established by Heckler [(2010). Some consequences of prompting novice physics students to…

Harney, Owen M.; Hogan, Michael J.; Broome, Benjamin; Hall, Tony; Ryan, Cormac – International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning, 2015
This paper investigates the effects of task-level versus process-level prompts on levels of perceived and objective consensus, perceived efficacy, and argumentation style in the context of a computer-supported collaborative learning session using Interactive Management (IM), a computer facilitated thought and action mapping methodology. Four…

Gire, Elizabeth; Price, Edward – Physical Review Special Topics - Physics Education Research, 2015
The formalism of quantum mechanics includes a rich collection of representations for describing quantum systems, including functions, graphs, matrices, histograms of probabilities, and Dirac notation. The varied features of these representations affect how computations are performed. For example, identifying probabilities of measurement outcomes…

Stanton, Julie Dangremond; Neider, Xyanthe N.; Gallegos, Isaura J.; Clark, Nicole C. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2015
Strong metacognition skills are associated with learning outcomes and student performance. Metacognition includes metacognitive knowledge--our awareness of our thinking--and metacognitive regulation--how we control our thinking to facilitate learning. In this study, we targeted metacognitive regulation by guiding students through self-evaluation…

Oppezzo, Marily; Schwartz, Daniel L. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
Four experiments demonstrate that walking boosts creative ideation in real time and shortly after. In Experiment 1, while seated and then when walking on a treadmill, adults completed Guilford's alternate uses (GAU) test of creative divergent thinking and the compound remote associates (CRA) test of convergent thinking. Walking increased 81% of…

Ashton, Kasey – ProQuest LLC, 2013
This narrative inquiry explored how transgender college students construct, experience, and make meaning of gender. Gender is not constructed or understood in isolation; it is therefore essential to consider how personal cognition intersects with and is influenced by an internal sense of self and relationships with others when exploring how…

Glew, David; Meyer, Tracy; Sawyer, Becky; Schuhmann, Pete; Wray, Barry – Journal of Effective Teaching, 2011
Business schools are often criticized for the inadequate writing skills of their graduates. Improving writing skills involves first understanding the current skill level of students. This research attempts to provide insights into the effectiveness of the current method of assessing writing skills in a school of business at a large regional…
