Marcin Dudek; Karthik Raghunathan; Samuel K. Regli; Jens Norrman; Gisle Øye – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
This communication describes our initial experience modifying traditional (written and calculation-based) assignments in the surface and colloid chemistry course given as a part of the chemical engineering program. The new exercises contain a more relatable context that is easier to understand and remember in terms of future challenges in…

Viki Kumar Prasad; Tamara K. Freeman – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
In recent years, pedagogical advancements have allowed the adoption of more engaging forms of course assignments to help students better understand and communicate chemistry. In this context, informational graphics, known as infographics, emerge as an effective teaching aid in educational settings and in disseminating scientific content to the…

Guedens, Wanda J.; Reynders, Monique – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Prior to the recycling process, raising awareness of plastic waste impact, e.g., polluting oceans worldwide, is undoubtedly a first attempt to tackle this pandemic environmental issue. With this in mind, the presented practical session is an effort to entice an interdisciplinary audience of science undergraduates toward a sustainable future. The…

Hooker, Paul D.; Deutschman, William A.; Avery, Brian J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
For the past nine years, we have been offering an interdisciplinary course for science majors: The Biology and Chemistry of Brewing. This course is primarily laboratory- and inquiry-based; from a total of 24 h of student/instructor contact time, approximately 6 h are devoted to lecture, and the other 18 h are divided between laboratory exercises,…

Diederen, Julia; Gruppen, Harry; Hartog, Rob; Voragen, Alphons G. J. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2006
Laboratory classes are regarded as an important learning activity, but they also have shortcomings: laboratory classes are often an inefficient learning activity for students and often do not sufficiently support students in developing research specific cognitive skills. It is hypothesized that some of such skills can be achieved more effectively…

Tai, Robert H.; Sadler, Philip M.; Loehr, John F. – Science Education Review, 2006
The connection between high school chemistry pedagogical experiences and introductory college chemistry performance has been a topic researched in published science education literature since the 1920s. However, analysis techniques have limited the generalizability of these results. This review discusses the findings of a large-scale,…
