Bahng, E. J.; Hauptman, John Michael – Physics Teacher, 2022
Surprisingly, newspapers contain wide-ranging physics topics available for narrative-style teaching in the classroom. Topics of newspaper articles we have covered over the years include physicists (obituaries of Hans Bethe, etc.), art or music that involve physics (color and standing waves), forensics (auto accidents and art forgeries), archeology…

Navy, Shannon L.; Jurkiewicz, Melissa A.; Kaya, Fatma – Journal of Science Teacher Education, 2022
Although there are initiatives to attract individuals with STEM degrees and experiences into teaching, little is known about the characteristics and development of qualified professional scientists with previous uncertified teaching experiences becoming teachers. One approach to prepare second career certified teachers (SCCTs) for teaching is…

Wendy Chin; Vinitha Nithianandam – Teaching and Learning Excellence through Scholarship, 2022
We, Professors Wendy Chin and Vinitha Nithianandam, both who teach technology courses at the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC), had a vision. This vision was to attract more women into the technology field and keep them enrolled in technology courses through graduation or transfer. We sought to do this by creating the CCBC Women in…

Carlos Ortegón; Mathias Decuypere; Ben Williamson – Research in Education, 2024
The use of educational technologies in schools is being reshaped by a new kind of intermediary organization that brokers relations between schools, academia, governance, and industry. In this article we define and examine 'edtech brokers' as organizations that operate between the edtech industry, public schools, research centers and governments,…

Lina Fransén; Victor Hellgren; Magnus Mortensen; Susanna Olsson; Nathalie Proos Vedin; Maja Elmgren; Marcus Lundberg; Antonia Kotronia – International Journal for Students as Partners, 2024
Students can influence their education through evaluations and as representatives in university decision-making bodies. A way to give them more power is through participation in course development as equal partners. In this study, the relationship between the outcome of a student-teacher partnership and a culture of student influence and…

Benjamin C. Herman; Michael P. Clough; Alex Sobotka – International Journal of Science Education, 2024
The COVID-19 pandemic revealed how much the science education community has yet to understand about myriad variables that impact accurately informed socioscientific issue decision-making. Toward that end, this study investigated 415 university biology students' COVID-19 behaviours and opinions regarding how COVID-19 mandates might be associated…

Lisa DaVia Rubenstein; Kelsey A. Woodruff; April M. Taylor; James B. Olesen; Philip J. Smaldino; Eric M. Rubenstein – Journal of Advanced Academics, 2024
Primarily undergraduate institutions (PUI) often struggle to provide authentic research opportunities that culminate in peer-reviewed publications due to "recipe-driven" lab courses and the comprehensive body of work necessary for traditional scientific publication. However, the advent of short-form, single-figure…

Stuart, Michael T. – Science & Education, 2019
Imagination is necessary for scientific practice, yet there are no in vivo sociological studies on the ways that imagination is taught, thought of, or evaluated by scientists. This article begins to remedy this by presenting the results of a qualitative study performed on two systems biology laboratories. I found that the more advanced a…

M.; de Vera, Patricia Tiongco; Kelley, Loretta; Schinske, Jeffrey N.; Riggs, Blake; Burrus, Laura W.; Tanner, Kimberly D. – CBE - Life Sciences Education, 2021
Scientist Spotlights--curricular materials that employ the personal and professional stories of scientists from diverse backgrounds--have previously been shown to positively influence undergraduate students' relatability to and perceptions of scientists. We hypothesized that engaging students in authoring Scientist Spotlights might produce…

Woelert, Peter; Lewis, Jenny M.; Le, Ai Tam – Higher Education Policy, 2021
Over the last two to three decades, many universities around the world have seen an increase in both organizational autonomy and performance-based accountability. While these developments have attracted considerable attention, relatively little remains known about how, within this transformed governance context, academics themselves practice their…

D'Agostino, Fred; Greste, Peter – Australian Universities' Review, 2021
It is easy to confuse academic freedom with freedom of speech, but it is illuminating to consider the responsibilities that frame academic freedom and thus distinguish it from the less constrained freedoms to speak that characterise our roles as citizens of democratic societies. In particular, scholars and scientists are subject to standards of…

Loretta Gasparini; Shaun Ziegenfusz; Natalie Turner; Suze Leitão; Michelle C. St Clair; Emily Jackson – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2025
Background: Eighty-five percent of medical research goes to waste, partly because it is not appropriately communicated to stakeholders. This represents a critical issue for the research community, especially because individuals who are impacted by research should be able to readily access that research. Making research findings accessible to key…

Angelone, Samer; Soriguer, Ramón C.; Melendo, Ana – Studies in Higher Education, 2020
Scientists have the tendency to communicate their scientific accounts using linearly structured narratives (Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion; IMRAD). Likewise, the linear narrative is dominant -- due to force of habit -- when scientists prepare films about their research. Yet, this does not necessarily have to be the case for the new…

Cohen, Joel I. – Journal of Education, 2023
Naturalists enrich our scientific understanding of biodiversity. However, just as countries have fallen behind on commitments to provide biodiversity conservation funding, so has the focus of life science stayed arm's length. The purpose of this article is to consider why biodiversity should be the center of life sciences education and how…

Mulvey, Kelly Lynn; Cerda-Smith, Jacqueline; Joy, Angelina; Mathews, Channing; Ozturk, Emine – Psychology in the Schools, 2023
Maintaining adolescents' engagement with STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) in and out of school may help ensure that adolescents are prepared to enter the STEM workforce. This study aims to extend prior work by documenting internal and external factors that matter for both STEM class engagement as well as engagement with STEM…
