Henry Matovu; Mihye Won; Roy Tasker; Mauro Mocerino; David Franklin Treagust; Dewi Ayu Kencana Ungu; Chin-Chung Tsai – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2025
Immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) can help students visualise and explore complex chemical concepts, such as protein enzyme structures and interactions. We designed a set of collaborative iVR-based learning tasks on the interaction between a protein enzyme and its substrate. We investigated how 18 pairs (36 students) in undergraduate chemistry…

Matovu, Henry; Won, Mihye; Treagust, David Franklin; Ungu, Dewi Ayu Kencana; Mocerino, Mauro; Tsai, Chin-Chung; Tasker, Roy – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
In recent years, chemistry educators are increasingly adopting immersive virtual reality (IVR) technology to help learners visualise molecular interactions. However, educational studies on IVR mostly investigated its usability and user perceptions leaving out its impact on improving conceptual understanding. If they evaluated students' knowledge…

The current study ascertained the influence an instructional module had on enhancing students' understanding of chemical reactions and acid-base topics. The sample size for this study consisted of 197 students, including 101 in an "experimental" group and 96 in a "control" group, selected from schools in two Districts…

Natalia Spitha; Yujian Zhang; Samuel Pazicni; Sarah A. Fullington; Carla Morais; Amanda Rae Buchberger; Pamela S. Doolittle – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
The Beer-Lambert law is a fundamental relationship in chemistry that helps connect macroscopic experimental observations (i.e., the amount of light exiting a solution sample) to a symbolic model composed of system-level parameters (e.g., concentration values). Despite the wide use of the Beer-Lambert law in the undergraduate chemistry curriculum…

Fombona-Pascual, Alba; Fombona, Javier; Vazquez-Cano, Esteban – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
Atomic/molecular visualization for human sight is usually generated by a software that reproduces a 3D reality on a 2D screen. Although Virtual Reality (VR) software was originally developed for the gaming industry, now it is used in academia for chemistry teaching. This work reviews the scientific literature on 3D visualization in stereoscopic…

Daniel Elford; Garth A. Jones; Simon J. Lancaster – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
Peer Instruction (PI), a student-centred teaching method, engages students during class through structured, frequent questioning, facilitated by classroom response systems. The central feature of PI is the ConcepTest, a question designed to help resolve student misconceptions around the subject content. Within our coordination chemistry PI…

Lee, Eshani N.; Nealy, Schetema; Cruz, Laura – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
The unforeseen shift to virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic required instructors and students to face unprecedented learning challenges. Under these circumstances, Chinese international students who intended to come to the U.S. to begin their studies were required to remotely access their courses while still residing in China, which…
