Tienken, Christopher H. – Kappa Delta Pi Record, 2022
Effective instruction brings together students' prior knowledge, life experiences, interests, passions, and aspirations to help form lasting learning events. Relevancy, interest, choice, and engagement (RICE) are all necessary ingredients for learning activities that stick in the minds of students and lead to transfer of skills and knowledge from…

Dabrowski, Jennifer A.; Manson McManamy, Mary E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
While scientists place high value on the scientific method, its relevance to everyday life is often opaque to nonscientists. In undergraduate teaching, its implementation is primarily apportioned to upper-level, laboratory science classes for majors. Herein we describe the modification of a recipe as a real-world project for learning the…

Jing-Ping Liu; Pian Yan; Jinxi Lan; Rongying Yang; Wenqin Wang; Yulin Chen; Jingmin Wang; Yong Zhao; Jing Shen – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
The Clemmensen reduction is a common example of a reaction demonstrating the deoxygenation of carbonyl groups, which is a topic that has been widely studied in the field of organic chemistry. The use of trimethylchlorosilane, as a substitute for concentrated hydrochloric acid, allows for the reduction of carbonyl groups. The Clemmensen reduction…

McParker, Matthew C. – Social Studies and the Young Learner, 2021
Researchers have proposed integration as an approach to effectively teach social studies in primary grades. Many teachers integrate by teaching social studies content and skills during time allocated for other subjects, such as literacy, science, or math. Integration clearly uses time efficiently to allow for more social studies content. However,…

Josephson, Anna; DeBoer, Larry; Nelson, Dave; Zissimopoulos, Angelika – Journal of Economic Education, 2019
Contemporary pedagogy encourages instructors to move away from memorization to teaching the ability to "do economics." In such an environment, students are taught to apply knowledge of economic measurement, the economic model, and economic policy to analyze current events and policies. In this article, the authors build on existing…
