Busovský, Damián; Krízová, Michaela; Kríz, Jan; Loskot, Jan; Studnicka, Filip; Slégrová, Leontýna; Slégr, Jan – Physics Education, 2022
Undergraduate physics laboratory exercises are very important in shaping students' attitude to science, especially for future teachers. Recently, it is necessary to look for ways to easily create large quantities of experimental sets, not only for institutional use, but also for sets that can be produced in large quantities and distributed for use…

Baird, William; Pizano, Adrian; Ruff, Jordan – Physics Teacher, 2022
The global positioning system (GPS) must be familiar to every user of a smartphone as a way to locate one's position on Earth to within several meters. The constellation of orbiting atomic clocks equipped with radio transmitters allows receivers on Earth to determine their own position by measuring the travel times of radio signals from multiple…

Worakan Chutakool; Thanit Praneenararat – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
In the past few decades, chemistry has evolved to interact with various disciplines to synergistically help tackle global challenges. This, in turn, requires that newer generations of chemistry students are trained to be more flexible in accepting and coordinating new concepts. In this experiment, pineapple was used as a key model to allow for the…

Filipe Rocha; Arminda Alves; Vera Homem – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Sewage sludge valorization in agricultural fields is in many countries a circular economy strategy to handle the disposal issues of this complex residue. Many countries regulate the content of heavy metals and other agrochemical parameters in sewage sludge, establishing threshold limits for its application in agricultural fields. This requires the…

Hugo Y. Samayoa-Oviedo; Julia Laskin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
We describe a project implemented in the honors section of an upper-level analytical chemistry undergraduate course, in which students designed an experiment to compare the performance of two analytical techniques to determine the amount of ascorbic acid in a commercial sample. This project designed for 18 students is composed of three stages. In…

Samia Dabbou; Emna El Golli-Bennour; Ines Skandrani; Asma Kassab – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic forced the transfer of face-to-face instruction to an online mode. The current study sought to describe the delivery of online biochemistry laboratories to undergraduate students. The paper also attempted to assess its advantages and disadvantages at the faculty of dental medicine of Monastir (FDMM), Tunisia. Four online…

Shaun A. Cook – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Future college environments, including those in chemistry, will entail flexible formats. The pandemic spurred appreciation of the need, and though it has largely passed, adaptability to multiple formats in the future has been a critical part of planning for a rapidly changing future. Experiences during the pandemic will guide pedagogical changes…

Siantuba, Jackson; Nkhata, Leonard; de Jong, Ton – Smart Learning Environments, 2023
This study sought to develop and evaluate an online module based on inquiry learning with digital laboratories, which was intended to address students' misconceptions in a science domain. In a quasi-experimental design, 171 first-year students in a higher education introductory physics course on circular motion were as their existing groups…

Alstein, Paul; Krijtenburg-Lewerissa, Kim; van Joolingen, Wouter R. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2023
This article describes the design and evaluation of a simulation environment for special relativity (SR) education at the secondary level. In recent years, SR has become increasingly popular in secondary school curricula worldwide. Because the key concepts in SR are very remote from everyday experience, they are difficult for students to learn.…

Reyna, Mercedes; Peppino Margutti, Micaela; Vilchez, Ana Carolina; Villasuso, Ana Laura – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
Lipidomics is a discipline that focuses on the identification and quantification of lipids. Although a part of the larger omics field, lipidomics requires specific approaches for the analysis and biological interpretation of datasets. This article presents a series of activities for introducing undergraduate microbiology students to lipidomic…

Miranda, Rommel J.; Warren, Cheryl; Mcdougal, Kathryn; Kimble, Steven; Sanchez, Joseph; Norman, Leann; Anderson, Virginia; Hemm, Matthew – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2023
We developed a curriculum for an upper-level molecular biology course-based undergraduate research laboratory class funded by a National Science Foundation CAREER grant that focuses on identifying new small proteins in the bacterium, "Escherichia coli." Our CURE class has been continually offered each semester for the last 10 years, with…

Alex T. St. Louis; Hayat Hokayem – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
This qualitative study compares the views about nature of science (NOS) between students enrolled in a traditional lecture and laboratory course and students in an inquiry-based class to the view of the scientists who taught the course. We administered the Views of Nature of Science Form C (VNOS-C) to identify students' views after partaking in…

Lesley Batty; Katie Reilly – Journal of Biological Education, 2023
The increase in student diversity, legislative changes and shift towards the social model of disability has led to greater emphasis on inclusive curricula within Higher Education (HE). Whilst there are good examples for changes in assessment, delivery and student support, specific challenges faced by Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics…
