Andrea D. Merry; John A. Means; Tim E. Hall – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
In this laboratory activity, students were tasked with determining the heat of combustion for each of three common sugar substitutes: saccharin, aspartame, and sucralose. The heats of combustion were determined via three different methods: bomb calorimetry, heats of formation derived from semiempirical calculations, and tabulated average bond…

Janae Brown; Kelly J. K. Getty – NACTA Journal, 2023
Hands-on learning activities enhance course outcomes in college courses based on increased exam scores and student satisfaction; however, online courses pose challenges for creating hands-on learning opportunities. The objective of this study was to compare online and on-campus students' perception and performance on a soybean processing and…

Riegel, Kimberly – Physics Teacher, 2021
Laboratory report assignments for non-major and introductory classes can be challenging because the students are unfamiliar with the type of technical writing required and the subject matter. These issues for the student make the grading for the instructor difficult and time consuming. Determining the level of detail to require, the format, and…

Karina Lorenz Mrakovcich; Christopher L. LaCasse – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2025
This paper describes the collaboration of a Writing Center director and a professor of a Fisheries Biology course in support of a research paper entitled, "The World Without," which asks students to convince readers of the likely ecological consequences associated with the extinction of a finfish species or aquatic habitat. Opportunities…

Sull, Errol Craig; Clements, Kurtis – Distance Learning, 2023
The blog and distance learning: the former can enhance, enlighten, and elevate the educational experience for the student and the teaching experience for the instructor. And blogs are especially suited for the asynchronous environment where nearly everything is written and remains throughout the course, so students can continually refer to the…

Field M. Watts; Solaire A. Finkenstaedt-Quinn; Ginger V. Shultz – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Research on student learning in organic chemistry indicates that students tend to focus on surface level features of molecules with less consideration of implicit properties when engaging in mechanistic reasoning. Writing-to-learn (WTL) is one approach for supporting students' mechanistic reasoning. A variation of WTL incorporates peer review and…

Ina Zaimi; Amber J. Dood; Ginger V. Shultz – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Asking students to explain why phenomena occur at a molecular level is vital to increasing their understanding of chemistry concepts. One way to elicit students' mechanistic reasoning and guide construction of knowledge is through Writing-to-Learn (WTL), which is a promising approach for students in organic chemistry courses. In the design of WTL…

Stephanie Bell; Brian Hotson – Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2021
Writing centres play a vital role in supporting all forms of student academic writing in higher education (HE) institutions, including digital writing projects (DWPs)--multiliterate and multimodal, often video-and-audio-based projects, produced using digital technologies. The importance of writing support for multimodal composing is evident in…

Kelly Katherine Frantz – Studies in Applied Linguistics & TESOL, 2024
Writing conferences are rich pedagogical settings to explore explanations. In contrast to teachers, writing consultants are usually peer tutors, straddling the roles of instructor and fellow student (North, 1984). This creates a unique situation where consultant-writer dyads must interactionally manage questions of expertise and authority (Carino,…

Yaman, Fatma – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2021
This study investigated the perceptions and quality of argumentative and summary writing of the Pre-service Science Teachers (PSTs) who participated in a knowledge generation approach to learning, which is known as the SWH approach, and who had had experience with it across different time periods. A total of 41 PSTs were divided into three groups…

Petterson, Michael N.; Finkenstaedt-Quinn, Solaire A.; Gere, Anne Ruggles; Shultz, Ginger V. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
Student affect is an important factor in the learning process and may be especially important in gateway courses such as organic chemistry. Students' recognition of the relevance of the content they are learning and interactions with their peers can support their motivation to learn. Herein, we describe a study focused on how Writing-to-Learn…

Jeon, Ah-Jung; Kellogg, David; Khan, Mohammad Asif; Tucker-Kellogg, Greg – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Laboratory pedagogy is moving away from step-by-step instructions and toward inquiry-based learning, but only now developing methods for integrating inquiry-based writing (IBW) practices into the laboratory course. Based on an earlier proposal (Science 2011;332:919), we designed and implemented an IBW sequence in a university bioinformatics…

Newell, George E.; Misar, Katherine S. – Journal of Literacy Research, 2022
This study explores one teacher's instructional method for teaching life sciences using argumentation and argumentative writing rather than simple templates for writing claims and evidence. The microethnographic discourse analytic case study reported here included the teacher and 26 "advanced" eighth-grade students in a suburban middle…
