Megan C. Connor; Justin M. Pratt; Jeffrey R. Raker – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Course-based undergraduate research experiences (CUREs) are a promising approach for incorporating inquiry-based instruction into the undergraduate chemistry laboratory curriculum. This study used data from a national survey of inorganic chemistry faculty members (n = 142) to investigate CURE implementation in the inorganic chemistry instructional…

Macaluso, Robin; Amaro-Jiménez, Carla; Patterson, Oliver K.; Martinez-Cosio, Maria; Veerabathina, Nilashki; Clark, Kametrice; Luken-Sutton, Jennifer – College Teaching, 2021
Here we share results from a larger study of professional development (PD) provided to faculty at Research I Urban University (RIUU), where STEM faculty modeled active learning strategies and provided ready-to-use STEM materials to teaching staff. Data from 94 STEM faculty, who comprised 27% of the total participants (N = 340), demonstrated a…

Inorganic Chemistry at the Undergraduate Level: Are We All on the Same Page?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Pesterfield, Les L.; Henrickson, Charles H. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2001
Summarizes and presents results of a national survey on undergraduate inorganic chemistry which asked faculty to describe the general layout of their undergraduate program and course content. Reveals both similarities in the structure of undergraduate inorganic chemistry programs across the country and diversity in content. (ASK)
