Sarah Ritter; Liza Abraham – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
This project introduces green chemistry to the undergraduate laboratory through two pedagogical techniques: undergraduate research and guided-inquiry. Through these two learning activities, an efficient synthetic procedure for the PRINS cyclization of citronellal into isopulegol, focused on minimizing negative environmental impact, was developed.…

Erica Malone; Michelle Pine – HAPS Educator, 2025
Gross anatomy courses utilize cadaver dissection to teach identification, topography, and spatial relationships of organs. The deconstructive nature of dissection, however, focuses students' attention on the "big picture", followed by a discovery of details. This approach may be useful for many, however some students may prefer to…

Hands-on experiences in analytical chemistry laboratories are essential to improve students' technical skills on handling analytical glassware and instruments, but the coronavirus pandemic in 2020-2021 disrupted such learning activities. Thus, alternative remote activities are required to supplement practical skills. In this work, a new portable…

Mihret, Zemenu; Alemu, Mekbib; Assefa, Shimeles – Pedagogical Research, 2023
The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of blended physics laboratory experimentation on pre-service physics teachers' (PSPTs') understanding of the nature of science (NOS) during an electricity and magnetism laboratory course. The study used a non-equivalent comparison group using a pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental…

Anna E. Smith; Fran der Weduwen; Thomas Powell; Gayle Doherty – Advances in Physiology Education, 2025
During the years 2020-2022, COVID-19-related restrictions led to fewer in-person lab offerings in Neuroscience and Biology courses, resulting in negative impacts on students' skills and confidence. In this study, we investigate the impact of a co-curricular undergraduate lab skills program, the Practical Skills Passport (PSP), on student lab…

Keith O'Regan – Canadian Journal for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, 2024
Writing centres in Canada have an important role to play in aiding dissertation writers in the planning and composing of doctoral work. While doctoral writing support may challenge the conventional offerings that are currently provided in more traditional undergraduate writing centre environments, there is nevertheless a demonstrable need for this…

Holly L. Ryan; Ryan Hassler – Learning Assistance Review, 2025
This study explores the effectiveness of video demonstrations compared to live classroom visits for promoting writing center services to students in first-year writing courses. Using a randomized cluster experimental design, the researchers implemented either an in-person demonstration, a video demonstration, or no intervention (control). Pre- and…

Christopher W. Norfolk; Timothy Ellis – Chemical Engineering Education, 2024
The effect of digital tools (pre-lab videos and 3D models of experimental equipment) on student's performance of a typical lab assignment was studied quantitatively; for some students, these digital tools replaced physical access to the equipment. These students also participated in focus groups and gave good suggestions to make the digital tools…
