Horsch, Elizabeth; St. John, Mark; Christensen, Ronald L. – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2012
Despite numerous calls for reform, the early chemistry experience for most college students has remained unchanged for decades. In 2004 the National Science Foundation (NSF) issued a call for proposals to create new models of chemical education that would infuse authentic research into the early stages of a student's college experience. Under this…
