Background/purpose: Learning chemistry is often considered challenging due to its abstract nature. To address this, the application of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) emphasizes learning through real-world projects to enhance conceptual understanding. The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) approach enriches this process by…

According to employers, college graduates should possess interpersonal skills including the ability to work in and lead teams. Many instructors incorporate group projects in their courses to encourage student development of teamwork and leadership skills through experience. Research suggests, however, these skills must be taught explicitly. To…
