STEAM education is an educational approach of interdisciplinary teaching of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics. STEAM education, however, is often viewed as only including art elements into STEM teaching. Without true integration of the disciplines in STEAM curricula, students rarely are exposed to the connection among disciplin...
Numerous quantitative studies in science education found that student engagement declined after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, but analyses to identify the factors that drove emotional engagement down are lacking. Emotional engagement is a multidimensional construct composed of interest in an academic discipline, value in an academic course, a...
The COVID-19 pandemic forced higher education institutions around the world to find ways of maintaining education while adhering to public health guidelines. As classes went online, instructors struggled to balance new technology demands with the stress of teaching during an emergency, hereafter referred as emergency remote teaching (ERT). This cha...
In March 2020, colleges in the United States rapidly switched in-person courses online because of the COVID-19 pandemic. To chronicle how biology faculty responded to this emergency remote teaching, we surveyed faculty across the United States in August of 2020. Our survey included open-ended questions to identify a memorable moment, difficulties e...

Developing an online course often takes months of planning, and quickly transitioning a course online may not provide instructors with enough time to do so effectively. The support provided to faculty to...
Debido a su elevada riqueza biológica, endemismos y amenazas, los bosques montanos de los andes son considerados actualmente como una de las mayores prioridades de conservación mundial. El objetivo de esta investigación es identificar el riesgo de extinción de las especies de árboles de los bosques montanos de los Andes tropicales (latitudes 11°7‘5...
From journal: "The tropical Andes is a unique region with high habitat diversity, resulting from complex climatic and spatial gradients. Andean montane forests are currently a major global conservation priority owing to their high species richness and high level of endemism. Nonetheless they are considered one of the least known ecosystems in the t...
