Mary Jane Brundage; Alysa Malespina; Chandralekha Singh – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2023
Collaborative learning with peers can lead to students learning from each other and solving physics problems correctly not only in situations in which one student knows how to solve the problems but also when none of the students can solve the problems alone. We define the rate of construction as the percentage of groups collaborating on problem…

Sung, Rou-Jia; Swarat, Su L.; Lo, Stanley M. – Journal of Biological Education, 2022
Exams constitute the predominant form of summative assessment in undergraduate biology education, with the assumption that exam performance should reflect student conceptual understanding. Previous work highlights multiple examples in which students can answer exam problems correctly without the corresponding conceptual understanding. This…

Max R. Helix – ProQuest LLC, 2021
I have created a general workflow that describes how students reason through non-trivial organic predict-the-product problems. This was accomplished through an iterative process that combined the experiences of instructors with holistic impressions of think-aloud interviews, incorporating feedback from both undergraduate focus groups and graduate…

Horvat, Saša A.; Roncevic, Tamara N.; Arsenovic, Dragana Z.; Rodic, Dušica D.; Segedinac, Mirjana D. – Journal of Baltic Science Education, 2020
The main problem in students' lower achievement lies in the cognitive complexity of the problem. The aim of this research was to create and validate the procedure for the assessment of the cognitive complexity of chemical technology problem tasks. The procedure included the creation of Tables for assessing the difficulty of concepts in chemical…

Betancourt-Pérez, Rosa; Rodríguez, Julio; Muñoz-Hernández, Lorell – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The non-major's two-semester organic chemistry course at UPR-RP aims at developing a more integrated and meaningful understanding of the fundamentals of Organic Chemistry. To achieve this goal, we have implemented a novel instructional design that focuses on nine terminal objectives. The nine terminal objectives describe what students should be…
