Direct linkKaya, Ebru; Erduran, Sibel – Science & Education, 2016
The inclusion of Nature of Science (NOS) in the science curriculum has been advocated around the world for several decades. One way of defining NOS is related to the family resemblance approach (FRA). The family resemblance idea was originally described by Wittgenstein. Subsequently, philosophers and educators have applied Wittgenstein's idea to…

Nordstrøm, Marianne; Paus, Benedicte; Retterstøl, Kjetil; Kolset, Svein O. – Journal of Intellectual & Developmental Disability, 2016
Background: Risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) and association with abdominal obesity have not been extensively studied in genetic syndromes associated with intellectual disability. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in individuals aged 20-43 years with Williams syndrome (WS; n = 21), Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS; n =…

Paul Marshall; Timothy W. Bredy – npj Science of Learning, 2016
A complete understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of learning and memory continues to elude neuroscientists. Although many important discoveries have been made, the question of how memories are encoded and maintained at the molecular level remains. So far, this issue has been framed within the context of one of the most dominant concepts in…

Fernández, Sara; Rodríguez-Muñiz, Luis J.; Molina, Jara; Muñiz-Rodríguez, Laura; Jiménez, Juan; García-Vázquez, Eva; Borrell, Yaisel J. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2020
The correct labeling of seafood is important to protect nature and the rights of consumers. Given the certainty that the resources of the sea are not inexhaustible, only strict regulations and the implementation of sustainable fishing systems and reliable and traceable marketing systems can help ensure the long-term sustainability of fishery…

Makransky, Guido; Mayer, Richard; Nøremølle, Anne; Cordoba, Ainara Lopez; Wandall, Jakob; Bonde, Mads – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
There is great potential in making assessment and learning complementary. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of developing a desktop virtual reality (VR) laboratory simulation on the topic of genetics, with integrated assessment using multiple choice questions based on item response theory (IRT) and feedback based on the cognitive…

Mahgoub, Melissa; Monteggia, Lisa M. – Learning & Memory, 2014
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a family of chromatin remodeling enzymes that restrict access of transcription factors to the DNA, thereby repressing gene expression. In contrast, histone acetyltransferases (HATs) relax the chromatin structure allowing for an active chromatin state and promoting gene transcription. Accumulating data have…

Eliyahu, Dorit – American Biology Teacher, 2014
I present an activity to help students make the connection between meiosis and genetic variation. The students model meiosis in the first phase of the activity, and by that process they produce gametes of a fictitious reptilobird species, "Chromoseratops meiosus." Later on, they will "mate" their gametes and produce a zygote…

D'Souza, Dean; D'Souza, Hana; Karmiloff-Smith, Annette – Journal of Child Language, 2017
In order to understand how language abilities emerge in typically and atypically developing infants and toddlers, it is important to embrace complexity in development. In this paper, we describe evidence that early language development is an experience-dependent process, shaped by diverse, interconnected, interdependent developmental mechanisms,…

This study was conducted to determine the Class teacher candidates' opinions on Genetically Modified Organisms. The study was carried out with 101 teacher candidates who were studying in the 3rd grade of Agri Ibrahim Çeçen University Classroom Teacher Department in 2016-2017 academic year. Of the students who participated in the survey, 56 were…

Šorgo, Andrej; Šiling, Rebeka – Center for Educational Policy Studies Journal, 2017
Based on the responses of our sample (N = 310) of adolescents and young adults from Slovenia (students of secondary and tertiary schools, university students) to a number of tasks covering reproduction, from the molecular to organismal levels, it can be concluded that their knowledge is seriously flawed. Correlations of knowledge between…

Hamsho, N.; Antshel, K. M.; Eckert, T. L.; Kates, W. R. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2017
Background: 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is the second most prevalent genetic syndrome and has a characteristic academic and behavioural phenotype. The primary objective of the current study was to examine the childhood predictors of written expression achievement in adolescents with 22q11DS. Written expression is an important skill that…

Background: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common, highly heritable neurodevelopmental disorder with profound cognitive, behavioral, and psychosocial impairments with persistence across the life cycle. Our initial genome-wide screening approach for copy number variants (CNVs) in ADHD implicated a duplication of…

Childs, Jessica E.; DeLeon, Jaime; Nickel, Emily; Kroener, Sven – Learning & Memory, 2017
Drugs of abuse cause changes in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and associated regions that impair inhibitory control over drug-seeking. Breaking the contingencies between drug-associated cues and the delivery of the reward during extinction learning reduces rates of relapse. Here we used vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) to induce targeted synaptic…

Canfield, Caitlin F.; Edelson, Lisa R.; Saudino, Kimberly J. – Child Development, 2017
Although the phenotypic correlation between language and nonverbal cognitive ability is well-documented, studies examining the etiology of the covariance between these abilities are scant, particularly in very young children. The goal of this study was to address this gap in the literature by examining the genetic and environmental links between…
