Gross anatomy is a challenging pre-clinical course in medical school. A lab combined with lecture adds extra pressure, especially if students do not have prior anatomy exposure. One possible strategy to alleviate academic stress within anatomy is to designate table leaders. Some universities implement a rotating leader over the course of the…

Practical work in the laboratory is a key aspect of the teaching-learning process in science because it allows students to acquire skills that are essential for carrying out experimental research. This is also a technique that provides meaningful learning. Microbiological control works with oxide graphene sheets (GO), which means a breakout of…

Purpose: Our study aims to explore distributed leadership as a concept emerging from the developmental efforts of a Finnish teacher training school community to transform their activity to transcend contradictions of the Finnish school system. Our study increases understanding of distributed leadership as a practice-embedded, inherently…

Globalization and digital technology have transformed how knowledge is shared, but they have also amplified the spread of misinformation--challenges now intensified by advances in artificial intelligence. To navigate this landscape, students must develop digital literacy and learn to critically assess open-source materials. One key area is digital…

A large body of literature has established the benefits of undergraduate research experiences via the traditional apprenticeship model. More recently, several studies have shown that many of these benefits can be recapitulated in course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) that are more scalable and easier for students to participate…

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a valuable tool in various chemical and biological fields for investigating the presence and quantity of proteins of interest in given samples. The high importance of the assay makes it widely used in biological research and hence a crucial skill to master for up-and-coming scientists. A major…

Since the appearance of the COVID-19 pandemic and its subsequent stage, the changes produced in the chemistry teaching process have allowed educators to use a wide range of strategies, methodologies, and tools to promote student learning. To carry out laboratory practices, some strategies reported include the use of simulators and educational…

Students were tasked with the creation of videos of ordinary reactions to promote significant learning of complex concepts underlying chemical transformations. Interactive infographics were used to deliver instructions. Afterward, students planned the experimental setup for the reaction execution and video recording using their mobile phones. The…

Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) integrate authentic research into undergraduate chemistry laboratories, introducing students to research while simultaneously reinforcing fundamental concepts. Despite their ubiquitous nature in bioanalytical research, few CUREs have been published applying the fundamental techniques of…

The semiconductor industry offers ample employment opportunities for chemical engineers. The CHIPS Act prioritizes workforce training as a key contributor to the success and growth of semiconductor manufacturing. UF ChE teaches semiconductor processing lab modules to both undergraduate and graduate students. At the graduate level UF ChE offers…

A chemistry laboratory experiment is described to introduce undergraduate college students to membrane separation technology. This experiment combines a simple nanowire membrane fabrication and visually indicated molecule separation. The membrane is produced via coprecipitation synthesis followed by a filtration assembly process, which can be…

On archives and archival impressions, this essay extends archivalresearch to the elsewhere and otherwise. The essay asks, how do we reposition thecontents of archives so that we can position ourselves in relation to it otherwise? Itputs forward a theory of (decolonizing) archival impressions.

The Laboratory School is presumably the most famous experimental school of the progressive education movement. Founded in 1894 by John Dewey and President William R. Harper, the Laboratory School existed at the University of Chicago for seven and a half years, and even after more than a century, remains a beacon of hope and inspiration for many…

The number of real-world laboratories (RwLs) as research settings to address sustainability problems by using collaborative and experimental approaches has been growing steadily over the past years. RwLs are widely considered promising settings for the production of action-orientated knowledge in order to contribute solving wicked real-world…

The use of a multicompartment electrochemical cell for the potentiometric determination of solubility product constants of aqueous I[superscript -], Br[superscript -], SCN[superscript -], and Cl[superscript -] salts of silver is presented. An electrochemical cell presented in this study contained multiple half-cells made of disposable drinking…
