Direct linkWright, Lyniesha C.; Oliver-Hoyo, Maria T. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
A physical model has been designed to help students visualize concepts involved when solving infrared spectra. The physical model uses balls and springs to incorporate the harmonic oscillator model and Hooke's law to study dynamic vibrations within diatomic molecules. Various concepts are addressed with the model to abstract principles about how…

Download full textCox, Thomas D.; Ogle, Brian; Campbell, Laurie O. – Journal of Postsecondary Education and Disability, 2019
In this mixed-methods study, undergraduate students identified with a learning disability indicated their preferred instructional approaches to learning in college-level STEM courses. The relationships between preferred instructional strategies and learner characteristics: (a) declared major; (b) learning disability; and (c) gender were examined.…

Kent, James E.; Bell, Nicholle G. A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
NMR is a fundamental part of any undergraduate chemistry degree, and training students how to measure and interpret NMR spectra is essential for postgraduate research or chemistry-based careers. Traditionally, the undergraduate laboratory experience with NMR is restricted to sample submission for NMR analysis, which is typically conducted by a…

Yates, Nicholas D. J.; Brabham, Robin L.; Spears, Richard J.; Keenan, Tessa; Helliwell, Philip A.; Pugh, David S.; Parkin, Alison; Hurst, Glenn A.; Fascione, Martin A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
A laboratory experiment introducing the concept of chemical bioconjugation of proteins to undergraduate students in a therapeutically relevant context was developed. Initially, students installed an aldehyde functionality into a protein via the oxidation of the N-terminal threonine residue of the cholera toxin subunit B (CTB) protein, which was…

Stover, Shawn K. – Bioscene: Journal of College Biology Teaching, 2019
This article describes an activity designed to hone students' lay communication skills. After carefully analyzing journal articles that highlight specific aspects of vertebrate physiology, students generate "press releases" to summarize experimental results and suggest potential applications of the research. By producing succinct,…

Bridoux, Stephanie, Ed.; Grenier-Boley, Nicolas, Ed.; Caroline Leininger-Frezal, Ed. – John Wiley & Sons, Inc, 2023
This book offers an overview of the research carried out in didactics on the teaching and learning of science at university from the perspective of university pedagogy. The first part sheds light on the links between university pedagogy and didactics, by studying the nature and place of disciplinary pedagogical knowledge at university and the…

Mastery of quantitative skills is increasingly critical for student success in life sciences, but few curricula adequately incorporate quantitative skills. Quantitative Biology at Community Colleges (QB@CC) is designed to address this need by building a grassroots consortium of community college faculty to (1) engage in interdisciplinary…

Boyd M. Goodson; Qingfeng Ge; Lichang Wang – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Over the past 20 years, significant effort has been devoted to advancing the modular approach to teaching chemistry laboratory courses. The development and implementation of two modules are presented here for teaching a second-semester physical chemistry laboratory course using the modular approach: an inquiry-based module concerning proteins and…

Khong, Mei Li; Tanner, Julian A. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Examinations present an intensely focused opportunity for student learning yet opportunities for collaboration, communication, and feedbacks are often wasted. Two-stage examinations where students first take examinations individually and then repeat the examination in small groups hold promise to address this issue. Here, we pilot and evaluate a…

Terrell, Cassidy R.; Nickodem, Kyle; Bates, Alison; Kersten, Cassandra; Mernitz, Heather – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2021
Introductory biochemistry courses are often challenging for students because they require the integration of chemistry, biology, physics, math, and physiology knowledge and frameworks to understand and apply a large body of knowledge. This can be complicated by students' persistent misconceptions of fundamental concepts and lack of fluency with…

Maungchang, Rasimate; Dam-O, Punsiri – Physics Education, 2021
This paper demonstrates an experimental integrated lesson of physics and calculus in a topic of fluid force applying on different shapes of dams. This lesson was designed for the first year students in engineering program in an attempt to show them the connection between these two disciplines, as well as to introduce more advanced…

Nguyen, Angela Thien Huong; Antoine-Goeas, Xavier D.; Sulman, Muhammad; Tra, Linh Le Vuong; Cox, Charles T., Jr.; Gulacar, Ozcan – Education Sciences, 2021
A new teaching assistant model was adopted and qualitatively assessed for the general chemistry laboratory, in which both an undergraduate and a graduate teaching assistant provided instruction to students during the lab. Verbal interactions between graduate and undergraduate teaching assistants were recorded, transcribed, and coded using the…

Yang, Jie; Yuan, Yi; Gu, Jing; Li, Ao; Wei, Zhao; Ouyang, Qin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
As a cross-cutting and comprehensive subject, medicinal chemistry involves the knowledge of chemical, biological, medical, and pharmaceutical sciences. A comprehensive medicinal chemistry experience for undergraduates is expected to train various experimental skills and enhance their scientific research ability. Herein, a series of laboratory and…

Johnson, Shanina Sanders; Winfield, Leyte; Sung, Shannon H. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The dehydration of 2- or 4-methylcyclohexanol to obtain isomers of methylcyclohexene is a classic organic chemistry experiment. Students perform a distillation, collecting samples to analyze the progress of the reaction. The reaction produces a major product that can be explained on the basis of the regiochemistry of the [pi] bond formation for…

Arthurs, Leilani A.; Elwonger, Justin; Kowalski, Chelsie M. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2021
Whether to engage student preconceptions to facilitate conceptual change is an area of debate among conceptual change theorists. Here, we evaluate the efficacy of a preconceptions-based instructional sequence about groundwater previously described by (Arthurs, 2019). To assess the impact this instructional sequence had on facilitating the…
