Pia M. So¨rensen – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The interdisciplinary nature of food makes it an effective teaching vehicle in many fields. This article shows specifically how flavor and food fermentation, two topics not usually featured in the undergraduate STEM curriculum, can inspire a powerful interdisciplinary learning experience. Importantly, because of their accessible nature and…

Bo Chen; Huinan Liu; Yufeng Xu; Qi Yang; Hui Wu; Ziyin Li – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
The diversity of scientific methods has received widespread recognition in recent years. The purpose of this review is to analyze the changes in the representation of laboratory work in Chinese senior high school chemistry textbooks in the past 30 years from the perspective of the diversity of scientific methods. This study was based on Brandon's…

Mabrouk, Suzanne T. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
An online chemistry of art course was developed for K-12 teachers enrolled in a Master of Education in Interdisciplinary STEM Education program. This course focused on the chemistry involved in the preparation of artists' materials, art, and the authentication of art and artifacts. The specific course topics addressed safety in creating art; the…

Ted M. Clark; Rebecca Ricciardo; Daniel A. Turner – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Active learning has often been reported to improve student outcomes in STEM courses. However, there are barriers to its implementation, and it is challenging to include this approach in large classrooms with fixed seating. This investigation explores the development of a novel approach in which the class contact time was reallocated for a general…

Corinna Mo¨nch; Silvija Markic – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Language, and thus scientific language, is essential for chemistry teaching and learning. To be able to successfully teach the scientific language of chemistry, the Chemish, (prospective) chemistry teachers need to possess pedagogical scientific language knowledge (PSLK).Thus, teacher preparation needs to focus explicitly on Chemish and its…

Soraya Elena Layton Jaramillo; William Ani´bal Villamil Villar; Eva Aguaded Rami´rez; Javier Carrillo Rosu´a – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Training in chemistry is essential for undergraduate medical students; however, at the National University of Colombia, basic chemistry courses are associated with high fail rates and low academic performance with regard to first semester students, especially in vulnerable special admission populations. A longitudinal study was carried out via…

Boyd M. Goodson; Qingfeng Ge; Lichang Wang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Over the past 20 years, significant effort has been devoted to advancing the modular approach to teaching chemistry laboratory courses. The development and implementation of two modules are presented here for teaching a second-semester physical chemistry laboratory course using the modular approach: an inquiry-based module concerning proteins and…

Underwood, Sonia M.; Kararo, Alex T. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
While there have been an increasing number of evidence-based instructional strategies propagated, less literature exists on how to propagate a curriculum. This paper is meant to present how the theory of "Design-Based Implementation Research" (DBIR) can be used as a framework to propagate such innovative curricula. DBIR is a research…

Zowada, Christian; Siol, Antje; Gulacar, Ozcan; Eilks, Ingo – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Phosphates are essential components of any efficient fertilizer. Natural phosphate rock is, however, not available in every part of the world. According to the European Commission, phosphate rock has high economic importance as well as a certain supply risk--at least for Europe. For these reasons, environmental technology research has received a…

Triboni, Eduardo; Weber, Gabriel – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Recently there has been a renewed interest in the development and use of pedagogical games, as they provide an interesting approach to the appropriation of knowledge in the context of active learning. However, most didactic games fail to completely implement a cycle of reflection and action, thereby fostering mostly lower-order thinking skills and…

Talanquer, Vicente; Bucat, Robert; Tasker, Roy; Mahaffy, Peter G. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed many aspects of our world including the way we teach chemistry. Our emergence from the pandemic provides an opportunity for deep reflection and intentional action about what we teach, and why, as well as how we facilitate student learning. Focusing on foundational postsecondary chemistry courses, we…

Stowe, Ryan L.; Herrington, Deborah G.; McKay, Robert L.; Cooper, Melanie M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Widespread adoption of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) has created a need to carefully consider how chemistry curricula should support students in understanding the world in terms of atomic/molecular behavior. We argue that Standards-aligned coursework should be "core-ideas centered" due to evidence that curricula embedded…

Barth, Benjamin S.; Bucholtz, Ehren C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Introductory chemistry courses are required as part of the undergraduate preparation necessary for entry into an array of professional programs. Given the varied priorities of the student population in these courses, it can be difficult to present the material such that students see their individual future academic priorities represented in each…

Stowe, Ryan L.; Herrington, Deborah G.; McKay, Robert L.; Cooper, Melanie M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Connecting the behavior of invisible (to the naked eye) particles governed by the principles of quantum mechanics to the world we can see and touch requires a host of inferences, almost none of which can be extrapolated from experience. Molecular-level sensemaking thus relies upon intellectual resources that must be developed in large part by…

Schaller, Chris P.; Graham, Kate J.; Johnson, Brian J.; Jakubowski, Henry V.; McKenna, Anna G.; McIntee, Edward J.; Jones, T. Nicholas; Fazal, M. A.; Peterson, Alicia A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
A one-semester, introductory chemistry course is described that develops a primarily qualitative understanding of structure-property relationships. Starting from an atoms-first approach, the course examines the properties and three-dimensional structure of metallic and ionic solids before expanding into a thorough investigation of molecules. In…
