Wang, Ying; Rocabado, Guizella A.; Lewis, Jennifer E.; Lewis, Scott E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Some students struggle with chemistry because they do not find the relevance between chemistry content and their lives or they perceive their intelligence as fixed. Social-psychological interventions (SPIs), brief interventions that target students' subjective experiences, were developed to address these issues. As a result, SPIs have been…

Locknar, Angela; Mitchell, Rudolph; Rankin, Janet; Sadoway, Donald R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2012
A first-year chemistry course is ideal for introducing students to finding and using scholarly information early in their academic careers. A four-pronged approach (lectures, homework problems, videos, and model solutions) was used to incorporate library research skills into a large lecture-based course. Pre- and post-course surveying demonstrated…

Parker, Laurie L.; Loudon, G. Marc – Journal of Chemical Education, 2013
Managing student needs for effective learning in a large-enrollment, introductory organic chemistry course can be a challenging task. Because instructor time is at a premium, it is imperative to find resources that engage the students in active learning and provide them with feedback about their understanding of course content. Appropriately…
