There is an increasing need for research chemists and biochemists to have a basic familiarity with computer programming. Adding programming content to already crowded STEM undergraduate curricula, however, can be challenging. When programming content is introduced within the chemistry curriculum, it is most often incorporated into upper division…

Smallwood, Zoe M.; Campbell, Craig D.; Worrall, Andrew F.; Cahill, Samuel T.; Stewart, Malcolm I. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
A practical focusing on the synthesis, isolation, and hydrolysis of ammonia borane (AB), H[subscript 3]N·BH[subscript 3], was developed for first-year undergraduate students. By requiring students to propose their own experimental setup to measure the amount of gas produced upon hydrolysis, experimental design skills were introduced and developed…

Vergara-Castan~eda, Arely; Cha´vez-Miyauchi, Toma´s-Eduardo; Beni´tez-Rico, Adriana; Ogando-Justo, Ana-Bele´n – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Actions taken to control the propagation of COVID-19 forced most activities to switch into an online environment. Education was no exception. In most of the cases the transition turned out well, and online education proved to be a good alternative to the traditional model. However, in the case of practical courses, the situation is quite different…

Xie, Li; Liu, Qiaoyi; Lu, Hui; Wang, Qingyong; Han, Jing; Feng, XiuMei; Bao, Lei – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
A deep understanding of mechanical waves is crucial for students to succeed in studying many advanced physics topics. Studies in existing literature have revealed that students often have widespread difficulties and misconceptions on wave propagation. This research develops and applies a conceptual framework model to examine students'…

Bouquet, F.; Bobroff, J.; Kolli, A.; Organtini, G. – Physics Education, 2021
We created an introductory physics activity for undergraduate students, consisting of measuring the same physical quantity by different methods. This allows us to confront students with questions of uncertainty, precision, and model versus theory. The aim was to measure the height of a building using only a smartphone and everyday low-cost…

Bowers, Geoffrey M.; Larsen, Randolph K., III; Neiles, Kelly Y. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This paper describes and assesses the impact of a new upper-level "scholarly" laboratory model that is part of a four-year scaffolded research skills curriculum at a Carnegie Bachelor's institution. In this scholarly lab model, students gain the "tools" of a discipline in a first-semester laboratory and engage in the scholarly…

Woitkowski, David; Rochell, Leonie; Bauer, Anna B. – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Learning about the nature of science is an important aspect of becoming part of the culture of practicing physicists. While these topics have a long-standing tradition in U.S. curricula they are currently not part of German educational standards or curricula. And while there is some research concerning primary and secondary school students'…

Groos, Lukas; Maass, Kai; Graulich, Nicole – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
More than ever, there is an increasing need for digital experimental learning environments in chemistry. The variety of digital learning approaches provided to students range from simple videos showing experiments to highly interactive virtual laboratories. Regardless of which approach is chosen, a digital learning environment should be adapted to…

Todd, Kaylee; Therriault, David J.; Angerhofer, Alexander – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2021
Building domain knowledge is essential to a student's success in any course. Chemistry, similar to other STEM disciplines, has a strong cumulative element (i.e., topic areas continuously build upon prior coursework). We employed the testing effect, in the form of post-exam retrieval quizzes, as a way to improve students' understanding of chemistry…

Cwik, Sonja; Singh, Chandralekha – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2021
Societal stereotypes and biases pertaining to who belongs in physics and who can excel in it can impact motivational beliefs of women in physics courses. Prior research has shown that women have lower physics self-efficacy than men in physics courses in which women are underrepresented. However, prior research has generally not investigated…

This research focuses on students' higher-order cognitive skill (HOCS)-oriented learning to construct effective hierarchical thinking abilities in their chemical particulate nature of matter. For in-depth knowledge and profound understanding, this research deals with students' positive developments towards HOCS with a special guidance to Marzanos'…

Rattanapirun, Narapat; Laosinchai, Parames – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Molecular symmetry is a topic that requires mental manipulation of molecules when searching for symmetry elements and their corresponding symmetry operations. Such mental activities are difficult for students in a traditional classroom where only definitions and demonstrations are provided. Therefore, an exploration-based activity was developed to…

The high Arctic is a remote place, where geoscientific research and teaching require expensive and logistically demanding expeditions to make use of the short field seasons. The absence of vegetation facilitates the use of modern photogrammetric techniques for the cost-effective generation of high-resolution digital outcrop models (DOMs). These…

Kuzmenko, Tatiana; Sharma, Ashwarya; Willette, Demian A. – American Biology Teacher, 2021
Hands-on, inquiry-based laboratory activities are excellent opportunities to introduce first-year undergraduate students to the lab environment and to catalyze new interest in topics they may not yet know or be as enthusiastic about studying. We describe a multisession introductory laboratory activity that couples the research areas of medicinal…

Syllabi are usually required by institutions of higher education and often are the first exposure that students have to a particular course. Instructors can use syllabi as a mechanism to convey important information to students. Moreover, a syllabus can be considered a tool to create inclusive biology courses by transmitting information to all…
