Solving organic chemistry reactions requires reasoning with multiple concepts and data (i.e., multivariate reasoning). However, studies have reported that organic chemistry students typically demonstrate univariate reasoning. Case comparisons, where students compare two or more tasks, have been reported to support students' multivariate reasoning.…

An organic chemistry experiment designed for senior undergraduates focuses on bifunctional catalysis, a critical yet often omitted topic at the undergraduate level, but essential for advanced studies in chemistry. By utilization of a tertiary amine-thiourea catalyst in the asymmetric Michael addition reaction, the experiment showcases the…

Inquiry-based course experiences provide a scalable and equitable way to engage students in research. In this study, we describe how we introduced inquiry-based experiences to ten lower-division and upper-division courses across the biology curriculum at a regionally comprehensive public university serving the diverse population in a major…

Ernesto Lucatero; Robabeh Bashiri; Monica C. So – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Herein, we present an integrated upper division chemistry laboratory experiment involving the synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of catalytic metal--organic frameworks (MOFs). Experiments are designed to facilitate the solvothermal synthesis and characterize MOFs, including UiO-66, UiO-66-NH[subscript 2], and UiO-66-NO[subscript 2]. The…

The Application of Cross-Course Collaboration between Forensic Chemistry and Forensic Identification
Yiyan Wu; Agata Gapinska-Serwin; Wade Knaap; Ronald Soong; Vivienne Luk – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
University courses are often interconnected; however, the connections between these courses remain unclear to many students. This is particularly important in the field of forensic science since each stage of the investigation, from the crime scene to the courtroom, has significant implications on the outcome of a case and the individuals…

Jamie L. Wood; Nicole Stringham – Journal of Biological Education, 2024
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated changes in educational strategy, including modification of assessments. Students in the Master of Biomedical Sciences (MBS) program at Duke University School of Medicine are required to take a course entitled "Organ Systems" (OS), which includes organ histology. In pre-pandemic circumstances, cumulative…

T. Leon Venable – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
As an introduction to quadrupolar effects in NMR spectroscopy, students use low field ([superscript 1]H, 60 MHz), benchtop [superscript 13]C NMR spectroscopy to contrast the spin-spin coupling behavior of [superscript 13]C to the dipolar [superscript 1]H and quadrupolar [superscript 2]D in familiar solvents C(H/D)Cl[subscript 3], C(H/D)[subscript…

Undergraduate physics and astronomy students are expected to engage with scientific literature as they begin their research careers, yet reading comprehension skills are rarely explicitly taught in major courses. We seek to determine the efficacy of a reading assignment designed to improve undergraduate astronomy (or related) majors' perceived…

Citizen science is recognized as an important tool to engage the public in important scientific and environmental issues that impact them. Mosquito surveillance-based citizen science in college curricula have not received much attention even though its usage has the potential to actively engage students in inquiry and elevate student support for…

Öberg, Gunilla; Campbell, Alice; Fox, Joanne; Graves, Marcia; Ivanochko, Tara; Matsuchi, Linda; Mouat, Isobel; Welsh, Ashley – Science & Education, 2022
The widespread misperception of science as a deliverer of irrefutable facts, rather than a deliberative process, is undermining public trust in science. Science education therefore needs to better support students' understanding of the central role that disputes play in the scientific process. Successfully incorporating scientific disputes into…

Chen, Audrey; Tarapore, Eric; To, Allisen G.; Catolico, Davis M.; Nguyen, Kelly C.; Coleman, Melissa J.; Spence, Rory D. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
Widely used in research laboratories, immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a transferable skill that prepares undergraduate students for a variety of careers in the biomedical field. We have developed an inquiry-based learning IHC laboratory exercise, which introduces students to the theory, procedure, and data interpretation of antibody staining.…

Concepts and practices surrounding measurement uncertainty are vital knowledge for physicists and are often emphasized in undergraduate physics laboratory courses. We have previously developed a research-based assessment instrument--the Survey of Physics Reasoning on Uncertainty Concepts in Experiments (SPRUCE)--to examine student proficiency with…

During COVID-19 remote instruction, instructors were tasked with providing students with authentic laboratory experiences in an out-of-classroom environment. One solution developed for our introductory general chemistry laboratory involved students critiquing readily available technique videos to distinguish between correct and incorrect…

The Use of Molecular and Cell Biology Scientific News to Facilitate Learning and Scientific Thinking
Laura C. Giojalas; Leticia García Romano; Giuliana Lingua; Rocío B. Martín – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2025
Molecular Cell Biology (MCB) should be taught according to the scientific practices, avoiding cumulative and memory knowledge construction, but favoring scientific thinking. A way to achieve this goal is to apply activities involving scientific news, which construct knowledge through significant learning and the development of critical thinking.…
