Simulating the Selective Effect of Antibiotics on Bacteria

Antibiotic resistance has become one of the major public health threats of the 21st century. Bacteria serve as an excellent model organism, allowing scientists to study evolution in a short amount of time. There are many misconceptions among students regarding the emergence of bacterial resistance. Conducting experiments on the selective effects of antibiotics on bacteria in high school biology teaching can provide students with a more intuitive understanding of natural selection. This study designs a set of simulation activities: representing antibiotic resistance genes with letters and simulating the degree of antibiotic resistance with numbers. It simulates bacterial reproduction under no antibiotic pressure, in an antibiotic environment, and in a high-dose antibiotic environment. The simulation activity describes the significance of antibiotic resistance to health care while allowing students to better understand the directional role of natural selection in biological evolution and to dispel common misconceptions surrounding the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance.

Playful strategies for effective high school biology teaching

This paper presents an educational design that develops, implements, and evaluates certain educational games to support teaching and learning biology in secondary school. A quasi-experimental design was employed in which biology was taught to an experimental group using educational games while a control group was taught using traditional methods. The quasi-experiment was conducted in the first year of a technical high school, with two biology teachers assigned to each of the groups involved in the study. Both the control group and the experimental group consisted of 40 students. The study used observation guides, surveys, and questionnaires to collect data. The results demonstrate that educational games positively impact the teaching and learning of biology.

DEVELOPMENT OF RESEARCH-BASED BIOLOGICAL MODULES ON CHARACTERISTICS OF LEAVES EPIDERMIS AND ITS DERIVATIVES OF Solanum lycopersicum var. Cerasiforme and Solanum lycopersicum cv. Ranti FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Biology learning in schools requires current references as enrichment material to accompany textbooks. Therefore it is necessary to develop research-based teaching materials. The study aimed to determine the feasibility of the modules developed for class XI learning on the structure and function of plant tissues based on the results of research on the characteristics of the epidermis and epidermal derivatives of cherry tomato leaves and rose tomato leaves. The research was carried out in two stages. The first was exploratory research carried out by taking samples in the form of cherry tomato leaf organs and rose tomato leaves. Preparation of cherry tomato leaf and rose tomato leaf preparations using the leaf clearing method, observation with optilab-raster image application. Research data were analyzed descriptively. The second stage was preparing modules on the structure and function of plant tissue as biology teaching materials for class XI using the ADDIE development model, which was limited to ADD. Module quality data was collected using a data collection instrument in the form of a product assessment questionnaire. The average result of product evaluation by material experts is 82.14%, and media experts are 84.37%. Based on the results of this assessment, the module on the structure and function of plant tissue is feasible to be used for testing as high school biology teaching materials.

The Effectiveness of an Interdisciplinary Approach in Biology Teaching in Primary School: A Comparison With Monodisciplinary Approach

<p style="text-align:justify">Interdisciplinary teaching and learning is an approach that synthesizes the curricular objectives and methods of two or more disciplines or subjects focusing on a specific topic or issue. While it is being increasingly implemented in universities, at lower levels of education there are still countries where science subjects are taught and learned fragmentarily. To assess the significance of the interdisciplinary approach in primary school biology teaching, the paper aims at an experimental verification of the effectiveness of this method in relation to the quality and retention of student knowledge, compared to the monodisciplinary approach to teaching and learning biology. The paper also describes a scenario for teaching a topic in which biological and geographical contents correlate. The study applied a pedagogical experiment with parallel groups. In total, 180 students attending two primary schools in the city of Novi Sad participated in the experiment and were divided into an experimental and a control group. The findings suggest that the interdisciplinary approach improved the quality and retention of student knowledge. The experimental group was more successful in completing tasks that required comprehension and practical application of knowledge. The study thus emphasizes the need for a professional curriculum development that would enhance the interdisciplinary correlation of various disciplines.</p>

The effect of the flipped classroom model on quality of the students‘ performance in biology education in high school

This study investigated the effectiveness of flipped classroom model (FC) and traditional classroom model (TC) in Biology on the quality of the high school students‘ performance. The research sample consisted of a total of 280 first grade high school students in Novi Sad, Serbia. The students in the experimental group learned Biology topic through the FC model, whereas the students in the control group were taught the same topic by the TC model. The instruments used in the research (the pretest and the posttest) contained the questions belonging to three different levels of cognitive learning according to the revised Bloom’s Taxonomy. The results indicated that students that were instructed by the flipped classroom in Biology performed better on the posttest as a whole, and in solving the tasks of all three levels of knowledge (remembering, understanding, and applying) than those instructed by the traditional teaching method. On the basis of the obtained results, a grater implementation of FC model in high school biology teaching is recommended as a way of improving the quality of biology teaching in our and other countries over the world and the level of our students‘ digital competencies.

The Effect of Multiple Intelligences Teaching on Biology Learning of High School Students

Theory of multiple intelligences (MI theory) is a new theory of human intelligence structure, which provides theoretical guidance for teaching optimization. This study aims to understand the effect of multiple intelligences teaching on the biological multiple intelligences of high school students. In this quasi-experimental study, the experimental group received instruction based on MI theory and the control group received traditional lectures. The formal multiple intelligences assessment scale [youth version] was used for investigation, comparing and analyzing the difference of multiple intelligences level between experimental group and control group after teaching by T test. The data shows that after the implementation of multiple intelligences teaching, the students in the experimental group are significantly better than the control group in terms of multiple intelligences, indicating that the teaching of metaintelligence has a positive effect on the comprehensive quality of students. Therefore, in the future junior high school biology teaching, the multiple intelligence teaching mode should be applied to tap the potential of each student and achieve better teaching results.

Enhancing Biology Achievement of Secondary School Learners Using Experiential Computer Assisted Instruction

This paper reports a study that investigated effects of Experiential Computer Assisted Learning (ECAI) on learners’ achievement in Biology in Kenya. Solomon’s Non-Equivalent group four research design was used. Four schools were purposively sampled. The schools were randomly assigned to four groups, two experimental and two control groups. All the learners covered same content. Teachers of the experimental groups used ECAI while teachers of control groups used regular approaches. The study focused on the topic Genetics and involved a sample of 163 Form Four learners. Biology Achievement Test (BAT) was used to collect data. The instrument was validated by five experts in Educational Research. Reliability of BAT was estimated using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. A co-efficient of 0.719 was obtained. The Constructivist and Experiential learning theories guided the study. Data collected were analyzed using ANOVA, t-test and ANCOVA. Hypotheses were tested at an alpha level of 0.05. The findings indicate that learners taught using ECAI had significantly higher scores than those in control groups. It is recommended that the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) incorporates ECAI in the teaching of school Biology to enhance learning. Science teacher education programmes should also incorporate ECAI to enhance its use in schools.
