Seery, Michael K.; Jones, Ariana B.; Kew, Will; Mein, Thomas – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Experimental design is a desirable outcome of laboratory education. Incorporating inquiry into the laboratory curriculum is attractive, but there are acknowledged concerns from practical, theoretical, and epistemological perspectives, and these are accentuated in upper-division courses. In this work, we draw on the extensive literature relating to…
