ABSTRACT Proper maintenance of the cold chain is essential to ensure both food quality and safety. This laboratory activity was designed to help undergraduate students understand the microbiological implications of cold ...

ABSTRACT Academic careers are often thought of as having a traditional path that most faculty will follow, yet there are many unique ways that individuals enter and navigate through their academic careers. While I follow...

Genetics, the study of heredity and genetic variation, is vital to biology education. Genome sequencing (GS), which decodes an organism’s entire DNA, represents a major advance in the field yet remains difficult for st...

ABSTRACT Microbiology, the study of microorganisms, is of critical importance to a variety of fields, including medicine, nursing, genetics, and immunology, as well as to students training to enter those fields. By defin...

ABSTRACT Preparing the next generation for scientific careers is critical for innovation and economic growth. Thus, identifying and fostering students’ scientific talents early in their academic journey is essential fo...

Background-Although PBL is effective in biology learning, this approach often triggers cognitive overload when the complexity of the material and instructional demands exceed students' working memory capacity, while ther...

Abstract Inclusive education seeks to provide equitable learning opportunities to students with diverse needs. While the “plant kingdom” is a foundational concept in biology, studies show that students—including th...

This study examined teachers’ pedagogical strategies for adapting non-indigenous and indigenous species in teaching the classification of living things in Biology. The research was guided by connectivism learning theor...

Biology is the study of life, but students often hold misconceptions about what it means to be alive, with children often associating life with movement. These misconceptions can lead to biases in what students think is ...

The most important theoretical and methodological aspects of studying chemistry in general secondary education institutions have been analyzed. To gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by secondary educatio...

ABSTRACT Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) have well-documented benefits, including increasing students’ access to research, fostering science identity, and improving retention in STEM. However, C...

ABSTRACT Gamification has gained momentum in STEM education as a way to boost student engagement, motivation, and conceptual learning. A wide variety of games, from short in-class activities to long-format student-built ...

ABSTRACT We provide a framework for the implementation of ungrading in course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) and a case example of ungrading in an advanced laboratory course. Although assessments should...

ABSTRACT Undergraduate science students will have opportunities, in their personal lives and future careers, to be science communicators. However, they must be trained in effective approaches to science communication. On...

IntroductionProgram coherence is considered a critical factor for student learning and professional development in higher education. In teacher education, the subjective perception of coherence—defined as the degree to...

ABSTRACT Biofilms play a crucial role in medical, industrial, and environmental microbiology, yet their structural complexity often makes them challenging to study in undergraduate teaching laboratories. We present a sim...

ABSTRACT A syllabus provides students with important course information but can also shape students’ initial perceptions about a course and instructor. The use of a web-based liquid syllabus is believed to provide a po...

ABSTRACT Microorganisms are expected to play vital roles in the development of sustainable societies, but this idea is still poorly understood by the general public. In addition, it would also be important for the future...

Protein structure determines biological function. Accurately conceptualizing 3D protein/ligand structures is thus vital to scientific research and education. Virtual reality (VR) enables protein visualization in stereosc...

Galaxy is a widely used open-source platform for accessible, reproducible, transparent and scalable data analysis in the life sciences and beyond. Despite its growing adoption across domains, several misconceptions persi...

ABSTRACT The cultivation of halophilic microorganisms has been widely reported in liquid and semi-solid media. However, there are few reports on the use of solid fermentation for their cultivation. In the present work, t...

Históricamente, la enseñanza de la anatomía dentro del ámbito de la Educación Física no ha focalizado sus contenidos en la práctica misma de esta carrera, no ha estado contextualizada en sus problemáticas; por lo...
