Bethany V. Bowling,Erin E. Acra,Lihshing Wang,Melanie F. Myers,Gary E. Dean,Glenn C. Markle,Christine L. Moskalik,Carl A. Huether +7 more
TL;DR: This project directly enhances genetics education research by providing a valid and reliable instrument for assessing the Genetics Literacy Assessment Instrument, a 31-item multiple-choice test that addresses 17 concepts identified as central to genetics literacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic Literacy of Undergraduate Non–Science Majors and the Impact of Introductory Biology and Genetics Courses
Bethany V. Bowling,Carl A. Huether,Lihshing Wang,Melanie F. Myers,Glenn C. Markle,Gary E. Dean,Erin E. Acra,Francis P. Wray,George A. Jacob +8 more
TL;DR: The Genetic Literacy Assessment Instrument (GLI) as mentioned in this paper is a diagnostic tool for students in introductory non-science major biology and genetics courses at the undergraduate level, and it was used to assess student learning in the different content areas of genetics.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Status of Genetics Curriculum in Higher Education in the United States: Goals and Assessment
TL;DR: The authors reviewed the state of genetics instruction in the United States through the lens of backward design, with particular attention to the goals and assessments that inform curricular practice, and the relationship between concept inventories, multiple-choice tests measuring conceptual understanding, and curricular goals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting Student Success in a Major’s Introductory Biology Course via Logistic Regression Analysis of Scientific Reasoning Ability and Mathematics Scores
TL;DR: It is found that the model—with both SR and ACT-M as significant predictors—could be an effective predictor of student success and thus could potentially be useful in practical decision making for the course, such as directing students to support services at an early point in the semester.
Journal Article
Professionalizing the Role of Peer Leaders in STEM.
TL;DR: The STEM Ambassador (SA) program at Authors' University as discussed by the authors involves students in the creation of a STEM community through multifaceted roles as mentors, peer-learning facilitators, and social organizers.
