Fieke Sluijs; Sabine G. Uijl; Eelco T. C. Vogt; Bert M. Weckhuysen – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Sustainability transitions need professionals with specific skills and attitudes that students often do not develop in their regular chemistry education. To foster sustainability change-maker competencies, we suggest augmenting higher education curricula, e.g., chemical degree programs, with transdisciplinary challenge-based learning combined with…

Aisyah Saad Abdul Rahim – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Educational escape rooms are immersive puzzle-based games that rely on teamwork skills in problem-solving, critical thinking, and communication. This paper describes the development of desert island themed escape rooms in a blended learning environment using physical and online puzzles that were hosted on Genially. The blended escape rooms were…

Hu, Yuqi; Li, Chunli – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Relying on the National-Local Joint Engineering Laboratory and National Chemical Design Competition for college students, a multidimensional education mode presented here combines the advantages of problem-based learning (PBL) and "Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate" (CDIO) approaches, while also overcoming the restrictions of PBL and…

Dong, Li-Kun; Li, Zi-Hao; Zhang, Shu-Yu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Student-centered teaching has become increasingly common in higher education as researchers have demonstrated its efficacy in recent decades. Herein, we hope to establish an efficient problem-based learning (PBL) method, which can help upper-division students learn organic chemistry content by combining teaching materials, experimental literature,…

Musgrove, Hannah B.; Ward, William M.; Hiatt, Leslie A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A Quantitative Analysis Lab class was developed that began with 9 weeks of student preparation for the Quant Escape Game (QEG) where the students learned the fundamentals of quantitative analysis. The preparation was followed by the four-week QEG, an active-learning, cooperative-learning, and problem-based learning experience in which the students…

Bellová, Renata; Melichercíková, Danica; Tomcík, Peter – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
This paper describes the implementation of problem-based learning in chemical education with regard to the impact that protolytic reactions have on equilibria. The problem-based task presented here is focused on extremely weak acids and calcuation of the pH value of their aqueous solutions. The task is based on comparisons of K[subscript a] ranges…

Armstrong, David; Murck, Barbara; Poe¨, Judith C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A service learning course has been developed through which undergraduate science students create problem-based learning materials for use in high school science classes. Undergraduate students research active learning pedagogies with a specific focus on problem-based learning, create original materials to be used in grades 11 and 12 chemistry and…

Nagarajan, Subhalakshmi; Overton, Tina – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
With a growing number of global challenges related to the environment, water, public health, and energy, there is an imminent need to teach chemistry in the context of its interconnectedness with other systems. Project- and problem-based learning are student-centered learning approaches which offer educators the opportunity to engage learners in…

Zuin, Vânia G.; Segatto, Mateus L.; Zandonai, Dorai P.; Grosseli, Guilherme M.; Stahl, Aylon; Zanotti, Karine; Andrade, Rosivania S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
One of the keys to achieving the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in education is to introduce novel pedagogical strategies into university curricula in order to promote an enhanced acute sense of sustainability in future professionals, teachers, and decision-makers. This paper aims at analyzing the effectiveness of including…

Hensen, Cory; Clare, Tami Lasseter; Barbera, Jack – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Fluorescence spectroscopy experiments are a frequently taught as part of upper-division teaching laboratories. To expose undergraduate students to an applied fluorescence technique, a corrosion detection method, using quenching, was adapted from authentic research for an instrumental analysis laboratory. In the experiment, students acquire…

Latimer, Devin R.; Ata, Athar; Forfar, Christopher P.; Kadhim, Mustafa; McElrea, April; Sales, Ramon – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
This guided-inquiry, upper-division undergraduate organic lab experiment, a hybrid of problem-based learning (PBL); process-oriented, guided-inquiry learning (POGIL); and peer-led team learning (PLTL) has been developed to ease the transition from the undergraduate lab to a research lab environment. The characterization of a mixture of camphor and…

Ong, Jun-Yang; Chan, Shang-Ce; Hoang, Truong-Giang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
A Sonogashira experiment was transformed into a problem-based learning platform for third-year undergraduate students. Given a target that could be synthesized in a single step, students worked in groups to investigate which method was the best for large-scale production. Through this practical scenario, students learn to conduct a literature…

Nielsen, Rudi P.; Sørensen, Jens L.; Simonsen, Morten E.; Madsen, Henrik T.; Muff, Jens; Strandgaard, Morten; Søgaard, Erik G. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
Chemical engineering is mostly taught using traditional classroom teaching and laboratory experiments when possible. Being a wide discipline encompassing topics such as analytical chemistry, process design, and microbiology, it may be argued that brewing of beer has many relations to chemical engineering topic-wise. This work illustrates how…

Hurst, Glenn A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
A laboratory experiment was developed to enable students to investigate the use of smart hydrogels for potential application in targeted drug delivery. This is challenging for students to explore practically because of the extremely high risks of handling cross-linking agents such as glutaraldehyde. Genipin is a safe and green alternative that has…
