Introductory biology courses are widely criticized for overemphasizing details and rote memorization of facts. Data to support such claims, however, are surprisingly scarce. We sought to determine whether this claim was evidence-based. To do so we quantified the cognitive level of learning targeted by faculty in introductory-level biology courses. We used Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational O...... hiện toàn bộ Differences in Metacognitive Regulation in Introductory Biology Students: When Prompts Are Not Enough Tập 14 Số 2 - Trang ar15 - 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 assignments following the first and second exa...... hiện toàn bộ A “Scientific Diversity” Intervention to Reduce Gender Bias in a Sample of Life Scientists Tập 15 Số 3 - Trang ar29 - 2016

Mounting experimental evidence suggests that subtle gender biases favoring men contribute to the underrepresentation of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), including many subfields of the life sciences. However, there are relatively few evaluations of diversity interventions designed to reduce gender biases within the STEM community. Because gender biases dis...... hiện toàn bộ Building National Capacity for Research Mentor Training: An Evidence-Based Approach to Training the Trainers Tập 14 Số 2 - Trang ar24 - 2015

Research mentor training (RMT), based on the published Entering Mentoring curricula series, has been shown to improve the knowledge and skills of research mentors across career stages, as self-reported by both the mentors engaged in training and their mentees. To promote widespread dissemination and empower others to implement this evidence-based training at their home institutions, we de...... hiện toàn bộ
