“…As advocated by many JMBE scholars ( Table 1 , Language and communication), broader conversations about how we communicate science may increase DEI. Some papers talk about the history of oppression in science neutrally ( 79 ), which buries the struggles that certain groups, such as women, have faced in our field (a subjugating practice). On the other hand, Malotky et al ( 29 ) increased students’ awareness of oppression, privilege, and cultural differences through explicit instruction about systemic racism during collaborative course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) involving community stakeholders (a liberating practice).…”

“…It is encouraging that even a one-day module has the power to improve students' understanding towards a more scientific point of view. Therefore, we conclude that the context of DNA structure provides a fruitful example for combining hands-on experimentation with model-based learning in an out-of-school laboratory by offering access to an exciting path of discovery of molecular phenomena using student-centered hands-on tasks [22].…”

“…One of our aims was to innovate traditional outreach programs in learning genetics by arousing students' creativity and transferring enthusiasm from arts to science classes. We developed a STEAM teaching approach (STEAM = science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) for an out-of-school lab setting, combining creative model-based learning with classical hands-on experimentation [22]. Visual representations are regarded as essential to understand complex (molecular) contents and especially models that are highly relevant for exemplification in teaching genetics [23].…”

“…With the creative teaching structure, the motivation to finish difficult (thought) processes, work on science and learning increased, as did long-term learning performance. More information about the intervention design of Gen-ious is described in [39,40].…”
