Direct linkXiang, Lin; Srinivasan, Madhusudan – Journal of College Science Teaching, 2023
Integrating authentic research practices into introductory laboratory courses to prepare tomorrow's scientists has become increasingly prevalent over the past decade. However, an incomplete understanding of the nature of science (NOS) and authentic scientific inquiry (SI) precludes higher-level learning in undergraduate research experiences. In…

Scientific success in the field of chemistry depends upon the mastery of a wide range of soft skills, most notably scientific writing and speaking. However, training for scientific communication is typically limited at the undergraduate level, where students struggle to express themselves in a clear and logical manner. The underlying issue is…

Qianfu Luo; Chenyu Shi; Zhaoxia Wang; Meng Chen; Da-Hui Qu – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Given the importance of self-healing polymers for chemistry education, herein, we introduce our latest research results in self-healing materials based on thioctic acid into undergraduate chemistry laboratory. In this experiment, a natural small molecule, thioctic acid (TA), and a few other commercially-available reagents have been used to make a…

In March, 2020, campus restrictions associated with COVID-19 necessitated significant changes to undergraduate instruction at institutions of higher education. Rapid, unplanned transitions to remote learning caused disruptions for all educators, especially those who traditionally facilitate student learning via wet labs or live animal…

Lopez-Gazpio, Josu; Lopez-Gazpio, Inigo – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
In this article we describe the construction of a low-cost electronic device to adapt the widespread traditional approach of Analytical Chemistry teaching into laboratory experimentation based on the guided research model. To this aim we construct a portable electronic instrument based on the Arduino microcontroller and use it to develop various…

Anderson, Shannon Y. C.; Ong, Whitney S. Y.; Momsen, Jennifer L. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2020
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is vital to synthesis and provides rich problem-solving opportunities to organic chemistry students. Using the theories of scaffolding, interleaving, and blocking, our research systematically explores how textbooks introduce and reinforce spectral features when teaching students to solve [superscript…

Maslova, K.; de Jesus, V. L. B.; Sasaki, D. G. G. – Physics Education, 2020
In general, undergraduate experimental physics laboratories do not usually have experiments designed to address rolling friction and to measure the value of the rolling friction coefficient. This work explores an experiment, which has the potential to arouse students' curiosity about rolling friction by addressing a counterintuitive aspect of the…

Johnson, Sasha; Meyers, Megan; Hyme, Samantha; Leontyev, Alexey – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
This paper examines the current state of the implementation of green chemistry into organic chemistry textbooks. Content analysis of the 15 most used organic chemistry textbooks revealed that only 10 of them had any mention of green chemistry. In textbooks that contained mentions of green chemistry, it was mentioned on less than 1% of pages. Green…

Lee, Jisun; Schmink, Jason R.; Berritt, Simon – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
A contemporary undergraduate laboratory experiment incorporating parallel microscale experimentation was developed for the well-defined palladium catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling of 4-fluorophenylboronic acid with both 4-chloro- and 4-bromoanisole using 11 diverse phosphine ligands and one ligandless control. This laboratory introduces…

Lahane, Rohan D.; Paranjpye, Arvind – Physics Education, 2020
Students are introduced to the concepts of static electricity at a school level and an under-graduate level. In this paper, we present an inexpensive and portable device that can be used to study the static electricity and verify polarity of the electric charge on materials in a triboelectric series. This device is developed at the Science…

Soong, Ronald; Pautler, Brent G.; Moser, Arvin; Jenne, Amy; Lysak, Daniel H.; Adamo, Antonio; Simpson, Andre J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Structure determination via NMR spectroscopy is a fundamental topic taught in many advanced level chemistry courses. Despite its importance as an analytical instrument, many students find the principle behind NMR-facilitated structure determination difficult to embrace. To this end, an artificial intelligence (AI) software package, namely,…

The high Arctic is a remote place, where geoscientific research and teaching require expensive and logistically demanding expeditions to make use of the short field seasons. The absence of vegetation facilitates the use of modern photogrammetric techniques for the cost-effective generation of high-resolution digital outcrop models (DOMs). These…

Farley, Elijah R.; Fringer, Victoria; Wainman, Jacob W. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
In an idealized General Chemistry Laboratory curriculum, students would hone their experimental design ability with practice encouraged by laboratory exercises designed to be open-ended. However, traditional General Chemistry Laboratory courses often lack opportunities for students to design their own experiments, instead opting to provide…

Cirillo, Pier F.; Caccavale, Alexis; DeLuna, Alicia – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Highly efficient microwave-assisted organic synthesis is now commonplace in both industry and academia. Recently, a conductively heated sealed-vessel reactor was introduced that acts very similarly to a microwave reactor and is more affordable. Application of such reactors in teaching laboratories is advantageous because of the restricted window…

This study explored the effects of directed and undirected online peer feedback types on students' peer feedback performance, argumentative essay writing skills, and acquisition of domain-specific knowledge. The study used a pre-test and post-test design with four conditions (feedback, feedforward, a combination of feedback and feedforward, and…
