OSE Science Education Collection: Innovations from Faculty of Science Instructors 

Welcome to our growing collection of science education publications authored by instructors and academic staff in the Faculty of Science. As this collection evolves, we look forward to broadening it to include articles, commentaries, and other contributions that advance evidence-based science education. 

The search for references focused on all instructors in the Faculty of Science since Fall 2025, using “science education” as the main filter. In general, we focused on higher education, but where relevant, we included a few articles related to K-12 education. If you find something missing or would like something removed, please contact us at ose [at] mcgill.ca.    

Much appreciation to April Colosimo, Associate Librarian, McGill Libraries, who created the original database that inspired this collection, and supported OSE in creating this resource.
