Carrie R. Salmon; Paul A. Bonvallet; Yuan Xue; Susan E. Ramlo – Journal of Chemical Education, 2024
General chemistry courses serve as foundational curriculum within most STEM undergraduate curricula, and hence, it is essential to assess student knowledge and application of learning outcomes for courses such as Introduction to Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. Within the United States, paper-and-pencil examinations are typical for measuring…

Underwood, Sonia M.; Kararo, Alex T. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
While there have been an increasing number of evidence-based instructional strategies propagated, less literature exists on how to propagate a curriculum. This paper is meant to present how the theory of "Design-Based Implementation Research" (DBIR) can be used as a framework to propagate such innovative curricula. DBIR is a research…

Rifkin, Moses – Science Teacher, 2020
Underrepresentation is endemic across disciplines and across time (National Science Foundation 2019), and extensive research clearly shows that this reflects bias and a lack of access, not a lack of ability in students from those underrepresented groups (National Research Council 2012). Systemic injustice is present in the teaching (Moss-Racusin…

Josephson, Philip; Nykvist, Viktor; Qasim, Wafa; Blomkvist, Björn; Dinér, Peter – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
Green chemistry and sustainable development have become increasingly important topics for the education of future chemists, but the implementation of green chemistry into the chemistry curriculum requires significant efforts from teachers, especially in laboratory education. A student-driven development of a greener synthesis of Lidocaine was…

Cai, Longfei; Zhong, Minghua; Yan, Zankai; Huang, Junsheng; Zhang, Huiying; Lin, Manbin; Lai, Heyun; Pan, Hui; Ke, Dongxian; Ren, Nailin – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Given the big gap between rural areas and cities and developed areas of China in basic education, it is of great significance to train a large number of excellent teachers for basic education in the vast rural areas so as to boost basic education there and achieve educational equity. Hanshan Normal University is a regional normal university…

Labudde, Peter – Contributions from Science Education Research, 2019
In this chapter, eight foci relevant for science educators are presented and illustrated by paradigmatic examples and discussed in two parts. The first part "from science education to practice and authorities" discusses the four foci of: (1) developing concepts for instruction; (2) responding to the needs of schools; (3) connecting…

Lesseig, Kristin; Slavit, David; Nelson, Tamara Holmlund – Middle School Journal, 2017
Given the current emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and its key attributes, middle school is an optimal time to implement STEM-based curricula. However, the interdisciplinary and open-ended nature of STEM projects often makes implementation difficult. In this article, we describe a professional development…
