WCU evolution surveys were collected across all six semesters of the grant implementation period (fall 2013 through spring 2016), with a total of 105 complete survey sets (pre- and post-course). Survey responses from students at the three other universities were provided by institution instructors whenever possible: University A provided 469 comple...
The results reported above support statistically significant improvement in evolution misconception scores among students at all participating universities but further suggest that post-course scores are significantly higher at WCU than at any of the other three universities, even after controlling for potential differences in pre-course scores. WC...
The results reported above support the conclusion that our new laboratory curriculum may be more effective in improving student understanding of evolution and evolutionary concepts and may be more effective in reducing student misconceptions of evolution than the curriculums utilized at the other universities. In addition, significantly more WCU st...
How might this inquiry-based course have aided in the reduction of evolutionary misconceptions? In an attempt to gain insight about which course components or processes were effective in this regard, we examined student responses to in-class clicker questions about evolution concepts and scientific method,their development of scientific thinking sk...
Jun 1, 2016 · So far, my history of evolutionary studies in the arts may be broken down into two phases: a contested rise of these studies between 1995 and 2007, and a short second phase of 2008–2009, during which not only did new studies emerge but also some positive new media attention.

Dec 2, 2021 · The review of literature thus begins with an overview of research on learning of evolution by natural selection and subsequently turns to the background on argumentation research in the context that is relevant to the evolution debate, namely the contrast of science and religious education.
The findings from this unusual year provided stunning evidence that natural selection was working on every generation of ground finches, changing the calculus of reproductive success and the composition of alleles in the gene pool of the species.
