King, Ryan P.; Wagner, Alexander J.; Burtea, Alexander; King, Susan M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
An undergraduate organic chemistry experiment has been developed that features asymmetric synthesis of an enantioenriched secondary alcohol, followed by determination of its absolute configuration using the competing enantioselective conversion (CEC) method. Students are given a ketone and an unknown enantiomer of CBS (Corey-Bakshi-Shibata)…

Filipovic, Nicholas; Scott, Alison J.; Penlidis, Alexander – Chemical Engineering Education, 2021
As future chemical engineers, it is important that students be able to identify and quantify sources of error. A statistical analysis technique that is often overlooked is hierarchical design methodology, which allows for the separation of overall variance into several related components. While hierarchical methodology is relevant to many fields,…

Reina, Antonio; Garci´a-Ortega, He´ctor; Herna´ndez-Ayala, Luis Felipe; Guerrero-Ri´os, Itzel; Gracia-Mora, Jesu´s; Reina, Miguel – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
YouTube is one of the most known and used social networks among students in the world, and undergraduate chemistry students are no exception. Undeniably, YouTube can offer several advantages for complementing university lessons in an asynchronous manner. There are many chemistry channels available on the internet; however, they are mainly too…

Hermanns, Jolanda; Keller, David – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
In this paper, we describe a study on tasks following the construct of school-related content knowledge. We know from previous studies that such tasks were rated by the preservice chemistry teachers as important for their future profession. Those studies were conducted in a traditional course on organic chemistry which was organized around…

Lang, Vanessa; Eckert, Christine; Perels, Franziska; Kay, Christopher W. M.; Seibert, Johann – Education Sciences, 2021
Models are essential in science and therefore in scientific literacy. Therefore, pupils need to attain competency in the appropriate use of models. This so-called model--methodical competence distinguishes between model competence (the conceptual part) and modelling competence (the procedural part), wherefrom a definition follows a general…

Sansom, Rebecca L.; Clinton-Lisell, Virginia; Fischer, Lane – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
General chemistry is a gateway course for most STEM majors, so student success is a priority for chemistry faculty. Providing quality information resources for students, including textbooks, is one way that instructors can support student learning. However, these resources can be prohibitively expensive for some students, causing them to opt out…

Duerden, Amanda; Moon, Nicole; Grubbs, G. S., II – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Few laboratory exercises exist that introduce undergraduate students to both the concepts and instrumentation used in rotational spectroscopy. Because of this gap in undergraduate laboratory training, a teaching laboratory for the pure rotational spectroscopy of benzonitrile has been developed and reported. Owing to benzonitrile's recent discovery…

For some professionally, vocationally, or technically oriented careers, curricula delivered in higher education establishments may focus on teaching material related to a single discipline. By contrast, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary teaching(MITT) results in improved affective and cognitive learning and critical…

Quin~ones, Rosalynn; Moreno, Sara; Shoup, Deben; Klein, Mieke; Westfall, Tamara D.; Damai, Aakriti – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
With the advancements in broad-spectrum sunscreens and the recent bans on benzene-based sunscreens due to their environmental toxicity, there has been a push toward broad-spectrum sunscreens containing in organic active ingredients. In this study, a procedure was developed to analyze the particle size and size distribution of inorganic active…

Busby, Brittany D.; Harshman, Jordan – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2021
The goal of graduate education has consistently been to produce independent scientists who can advance the knowledge of their fields, which has led to a series of staple elements in graduate components (i.e. research, courses, seminars, etc.) However, criticisms of graduate education in chemistry have been raised, stating that the current…
