Solving organic chemistry reactions requires reasoning with multiple concepts and data (i.e., multivariate reasoning). However, studies have reported that organic chemistry students typically demonstrate univariate reasoning. Case comparisons, where students compare two or more tasks, have been reported to support students' multivariate reasoning.…

Proton nuclear magnetic resonance ([superscript 1]H NMR) spectroscopy is an essential characterization tool for organic chemists widely taught in the undergraduate chemistry curricula. Previous work has focused on how students advance from novice to expert in interpreting [superscript 1]H NMR spectra. However, we need to know more about how…

Amber J. Dood; Field M. Watts; Megan C. Connor; Ginger V. Shultz – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
Generating a testable hypothesis is a necessary skill for engaging in science, requiring both general reasoning skills and specific content knowledge of the phenomenon being investigated. While many students have the reasoning skills necessary for developing testable hypotheses in a general science context, it can be challenging for students to…

Ina Zaimi; Amber J. Dood; Ginger V. Shultz – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Asking students to explain why phenomena occur at a molecular level is vital to increasing their understanding of chemistry concepts. One way to elicit students' mechanistic reasoning and guide construction of knowledge is through Writing-to-Learn (WTL), which is a promising approach for students in organic chemistry courses. In the design of WTL…

Student Experiences with Peer Review and Revision for Writing-to-Learn in a Chemistry Course Context
Solaire A. Finkenstaedt-Quinn; Safron L. Milne; Michael N. Petterson; Jasen Chen; Ginger V. Shultz – Written Communication, 2024
Peer review is useful for providing students with formative feedback, yet it is used less frequently in STEM classrooms and for supporting writing-to-learn (WTL). While research indicates the benefits of incorporating peer review into classrooms, less research is focused on students' perceptions thereof. Such research is important as it speaks to…

Graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) hold a unique positionality as instructors and research mentors to undergraduate students, research mentees to faculty members, and employees to an institution. With limited pedagogical training and teaching resources, the enactment of planned teaching activities and learning resources may be influenced by how…
