This paper describes a data set of IR, MS, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, DEPT, and 2D NMR spectra designed for undergraduate teaching. The data files are provided as MestReNova documents containing all the available spectra for each of the 251 different compounds in the data set. The spectral data in these files can be processed, manipulated, copied, and…

Contribution: This article presents an Instrumentation and Control (I&C) prototype for engineering postgraduate laboratory program designed to fulfill the quality objectives of the institution. Background: The syllabus and teaching methodology for engineering students have been periodically updated by universities and higher education…

In this perspective, the authors critically examine "rater training" as it has been conceptualized and used in medical education. By "rater training," they mean the educational events intended to "improve" rater performance and contributions during assessment events. Historically, rater training programs have focused…

The essence of higher education is to cultivate innovative talents for the society. Hence, higher education institutions (HEIs), on the one hand, need to respond to social needs and government policies. On the other hand, they need to keep pace with the times and improve the details of teaching to improve the effectiveness of education. In this…

Gamification of learning in chemistry education is a growing field. Chemistry themed escape room activities, incorporating course learning objectives into puzzle solution, have become a popular tool allowing for students to apply course knowledge in novel settings. Escape room activities, like their public counterparts, provide subtle guidance to…

Reactions between metal carbonates from d[superscript 5] to d[superscript 10] systems and glutamic acid are used to obtain molecular metal complexes and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). When the ligand is an amino acid, these MOFs belong to the BioMOF class (metal-organic frameworks for biological and medical applications). The metal carbonates of…

A convenient approach to obtain Lewis structures for compounds of the type YX[subscript n] involves first constructing a trial structure that satisfies the valence of the outer atoms (e.g.,1 bond for fluorine, 2 bonds for oxygen, and 3 bonds for nitrogen)and placing the molecular charge (if any) on the central atom. The second step involves…

This study aims to explore the challenges and opportunities of using digital technology in English teaching in higher education. Transforming the teaching and learning process from face-to-face to online learning by utilising digital technology devices and internet connectivity becomes challenging for lecturers and students. However, there are…

This paper presents a learning journey about deepening capacity for teaching with Place through relational learning and shares three pedagogical ingredients that are integral in enacting more ethical, decolonial place pedagogies. We are three women, educators working in community and teacher education with interests in environmental education,…

Connecting assessment with teaching through faculty capacity building can be a design principle in any assessment project aimed at improving student learning. This design principle is supported by the evaluation capacity-building literature, backward design curriculum approach, research on learning, and inquiry-driven assessment-for-learning…

Literature portrays advanced mathematics lecturing as a uniform teaching style, often criticized for offering minimal opportunities for student participation. In this paper we present results from a comparative case study of two instructors' facilitation of student participation in Real Analysis lectures. Analyzing fieldnotes from several observed…

Quasi-internships can have a transformative impact on information systems' capstone courses. Realizing this potential depends on pedagogical design, course delivery, and student engagement. This paper presents a teaching method based on experiential-learning pedagogical design to engage students via quasi-internships to improve career preparedness…

Internationally, there is increasing interest in the value of incorporating core practices into second language (L2) teacher education programs. This article reports on a research project that investigated how a set core practices are integrated into the Methods courses and practicums in Chilean language teacher education programs for English as a…

Breadth and depth of curriculum are important for success in science teaching and learning. Curriculum theorists recommend less breadth and more depth than overloaded, superficial science curricula. This study investigates breadth and depth in the official biology syllabi in the seventh to eighth or ninth years in four diverse jurisdictions,…

Although there are many disagreements about its definition and how it should be applied, reflection is an important professional development tool in teacher education. If in-service teachers think in-depth about critical incidents and reflect on them, they can develop new understandings of the teaching and learning process. The study investigated…
