Fluorescence experiments hold great potential to develop and deepen student understanding of fundamental chemical concepts because the phenomenon is engaging and also illustrates many different chemical concepts and applications, including in quantum mechanics, spectroscopy, kinetics, equilibrium, and stoichiometry, through easily observable…

The essential role that physical activity (PA) plays in the overall health and well-being of youth is well documented. Children and adolescents in the US repeatedly fail to meet the nationally recommended PA guidelines. Consequently, schools and physical education (PE) programs have been recognized as a favorable and feasible arena to promote…

The mission of "Communication Education" is to publish the best research on communication and learning. Researchers study the communication-learning interface in many ways, but a common approach is to explore how instructor and student communication can lead to better learning outcomes. Although scholars have long classified learning…

Research on laboratory learning points to the need to better understand what and how students learn in the undergraduate chemistry laboratory. The Meaningful Learning in the Laboratory Instrument (MLLI) was administered to general and organic chemistry students from 15 colleges and universities across the United States in order to measure the…

"Learning can be defined as change in a student's capacity for performance as a result of experience" (Kenneth D. Moore). The intended changes should be specified in instructional objectives. Viewed in this context, an objective can be defined as a clear and unambiguous description of your instructional intent. An objective is not a…

The author presents and explains a classification scheme intended to define learning behavior in terms of cognitive principles, affective principles, transformational principles, and heuristic principles. (LS)

Discusses instances of values learning which derive from the type of environment created by schools and questions the extent to which specific curricula are useful in values learning. The author suggests that values education programs would be more useful if they stimulated participants to reflect on the rules that govern their actions. (Author/DB)
