Designing Activities to Teach Higher-Order Skills: How Feedback and Constraint Affect Learning of Experimental Design
CBE Life Sci Educ. 2024 Mar;23(1):ar1. doi: 10.1187/cbe.22-08-0158.ABSTRACTActive learning approaches to biology teaching, including simulation-based activities, are known to enhance student learning, especially of higher-order skills; nonetheless, there are still many open questions about what features of an activity promote optimal learning. Here we designed three versions of a simulation-based tutorial called Understanding Experimental Design that asks students to design experiments and collect data to test their hypotheses. The three versions vary the experimental design task along the axes of feedback and constraint, ...

Try Before You Buy: Are There Benefits to a Random Trial Period before Students Choose Their Collaborative Teams?
CBE Life Sci Educ. 2024 Mar;23(1):ar2. doi: 10.1187/cbe.23-01-0011.ABSTRACTThe cognitive and performance benefits of group work in undergraduate courses depend on understanding how to structure groups to promote communication and comfort while also promoting diversity and reducing conflict. The current study utilized social network analysis combined with self-reported survey data from 555 students in 155 groups to understand how students identified group members whom they wished to work with. Students' willingness to work with their peers was positively associated with behavioral traits pertaining to attention, participati...

Gender Identity and Student Perceptions of Peer Research Aptitude in CUREs and Traditional Laboratory Courses in the Biological Sciences
CBE Life Sci Educ. 2023 Dec;22(4):ar53. doi: 10.1187/cbe.22-03-0054.ABSTRACTWhile several studies have investigated gender inequities in the social learning environment of biology lecture courses, that same phenomenon remains largely unexplored in biology laboratory contexts. We conducted a mixed methods study to understand the influence of gender on student perceptions of their peers' research aptitude in introductory biology CUREs and traditional laboratory courses. Specifically, students (N = 125) were asked to complete a name generator survey at three time points across the semester. This survey asked students to list ...
