Agustian, Hendra Y.; Seery, Michael K. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2017
In this article we summarise over 60 reports and research articles on pre-laboratory activities in higher education chemistry. In the first section of the review, we categorise these activities as follows. First are those intending to introduce chemical concepts, that typically take the form of a pre-laboratory lecture, pre-laboratory quizzes, and…

Gebru, Misganaw T.; Phelps, Amy J.; Wulfsberg, Gary – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2012
This study reports the effects of student response systems (clickers) "versus" online homework on students' long-term retention of General Chemistry I course material. Long-term content retention was measured by a comprehensive yearlong American Chemical Society (ACS) GC97 exam administered seven months after students had completed the General…

Schroeder, Jacob D.; Greenbowe, Thomas J. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2008
This study investigated the possible connection between effective laboratory activities and student performance on lecture exams. In a traditional undergraduate organic chemistry course for non-science majors, students could predict the products of organic reactions, but struggled to provide reaction mechanisms for those same reactions, despite…
