Designing safer chemicals is an integral part of green chemistry that supports good health and well-being. The teaching of molecule design through relevant courses has important implications for the education of sustainable chemists. In these courses, training in toxicology and hazard assessment is essential for students to study benign chemical…

Postgraduate engagement in delivering outreach activities is more commonplace than it once was. However, the impact on postgraduate students (typically studying for a Ph.D. degree) of participating in the delivery of these outreach activities has rarely, if ever, been recorded. The Bristol ChemLabS Outreach program has been running for ca. 17…

Shi, Xing-Xing; Li, Jing-Yi; Chen, Qiong; Zhu, Xiao-Lei; Hao, Ge-Fei; Yang, Guang-Fu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Fragment-based drug design (FBDD) is a promising methodology to find quality drug leads. It is important in the curriculum of a drug design course due to its impact on drug discovery. However, teaching FBDD and its use by students remain challenging in most cases. A web-based laboratory class to teach FBDD in the form of our copyrighted workshops…

Lang, Franziska K.; Randles, Christopher A.; Jeffery, Kathleen A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) play an essential role in the teaching of introductory chemistry courses at many higher education institutions. On the basis of best practices suggested by the literature, we developed our GTA training course to focus on modeling best practices in the classroom, providing opportunities for incoming GTAs to try…

Wegwerth, Sarah E.; Overby, Jason S.; Douglas, Christopher J.; Winter, Julia E.; Manchester, Gianna J.; Engalan, Joseph – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
As digital educational media use becomes more widespread, an opportunity exists to develop new methods to present abstract ideas to provide a more meaningful learning experience. Drawing from psychology and dynamic visualization research, new interactive tools can be thoughtfully designed but it is also necessary to establish how these media are…

Dyer, Robert M. B.; Venton, B. Jill; Maeng, Jennifer L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
University of Virginia, like many other universities, has developed a chemistry outreach program (called Chemistry Learning through Experimentation, Awareness, and Demonstration; i.e., Chemistry LEAD) that visits K-5 schools and teaches inquiry-based chemistry lessons in order to engage local students with science. Chemistry LEAD is graduate…

The Chemistry Teaching Fellowship Program: Developing Curricula and Graduate Student Professionalism
Kim, Kris S.; Rackus, Darius G.; Mabury, Scott A.; Morra, Barbora; Dicks, Andrew P. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
The Chemistry Teaching Fellowship Program (CTFP) is offered to graduate students and postdoctoral researchers at the University of Toronto as an opportunity to undertake curriculum development and chemistry education research. Projects are run with faculty supervision and focus on designing new laboratory activities, lectures, tutorials,…

Dragisich, Vera; Keller, Valerie; Zhao, Meishan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2016
We report an intensive graduate teaching assistant (GTA) training program developed at The University of Chicago. The program has been assessed and has been successful in preparing GTAs for effective discussion and laboratory teaching for both general and organic chemistry. We believe that this training program can provide insightful information…

Flaherty, A.; O'Dwyer, A.; Mannix-McNamara, P.; Leahy, J. J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Designing and evaluating teacher development programs for graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) who teach in the laboratory is a prominent feature of chemistry education research. However, few studies have investigated the impact of a GTA teacher development program on the verbal interactions between participating GTAs and students in the…

Houck, Joseph D.; Machamer, Natalie K.; Erickson, Karla A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
One-day chemistry camps, managed by graduate students from the Departments of Chemistry at the Universities of Virginia (UVA) and Vermont (UVM), have proven successful as an outreach initiative. The camp model engages kindergarten through fifth grade elementary school students in hands-on, inquiry-based science experiments to educate and excite…

Blake, Aaron J.; Huang, Hong – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
Graphene has opened up new opportunities for scientific and technological innovations because of its astonishing electrical, mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties. For instance, graphene-based nanocomposites have found extensive applications in Li-ion batteries (LIBs) as scientists and engineers seek to achieve superior electrochemical…

We have developed and assessed a multiauthor science blog on the topic of nanotechnology and sustainability as a tool to improve the written communication and public engagement skills of graduate students. Focus group studies revealed that after participation in the blog, student authors felt more confident and capable of communicating technical…

Danowitz, Amy M.; Taylor, Christopher E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2011
As active members of the scientific community, graduate students make ethical judgments about the conduct and presentation of their research. Pressures in the research environment often influence these decisions. Because inappropriate decisions can lead to unethical behavior and scientific misconduct, it is important that students understand the…

Moy, Cheryl L.; Locke, Jonas R.; Coppola, Brian P.; McNeil, Anne J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2010
This paper describes a graduate-level class project centered on editing chemistry-related entries in Wikipedia. This project enables students to work collaboratively, explore advanced concepts in chemistry, and learn how to communicate science to a diverse audience, including the general public. The format and structure of the project is outlined…

Hockings, Susan C.; DeAngelis, Karen J.; Frey, Regina F. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2008
Peer-led team-learning (PLTL) groups have been implemented in both semesters of the general chemistry series at Washington University. We have adapted the PLTL model to fit into a traditional university structure (classes are large; there are multiple sections with different instructors; and graduate students are teaching assistants in the course)…
