Ortiz-Rodríguez, Jessica C.; Brinkman, Hannah; Nglankong, Lea; Enderle, Bryan; Velázquez, Jesús M. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The shift to remote teaching induced by the COVID-19 pandemic has increased pre-existing academic disparities in the student community, augmenting the disadvantages for students who already experience opportunity gaps. This work describes the implementation of an online chemistry co-class focused on providing educational and social support to…

Godi´nez Castellanos, Jose´L.; Leo´n, Aliz; Reed, Christopher L.; Lo, Jonathan Y.; Ayson, Patricia; Garfield, Joseph; Alva, Michelle; Moreno, Miriam Uren~o; Drake, Michael D.; Gordon, Michele; Phillips, Shane; Alema´n, Elvin A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Service learning is a community-based educational approach where college students are connected to academic content through active participation in planned community experiences. Therefore, service learning is the form of civic engagement that we have used to connect Chemistry undergraduate students with K-12 students, teachers, and parents in our…

Gulacar, Ozcan; Milkey, Alexandra; Eilks, Ingo – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
Chemistry is traditionally perceived as difficult to comprehend. Its mastery requires that a variety of concepts be linked to form an organized knowledge system. The connections need to be made not only between the concepts associated with the macroscopic level of the chemistry triplet but also between the submicroscopic and symbolic levels. Many…

Hight, Matthew O.; Nguyen, Nhien Q.; Su, Timothy A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This article describes the educational and public engagement outcomes of an activity called the "ChemClout Challenge" that was implemented in a general chemistry course at UC Riverside. Students worked in groups to make chemistry-themed videos, posted them to social media platforms, then voted on their favorite videos. The majority of…

Gautreau, Cynthia; Brye, Michelle Vanderveldt; Mitra, Sinjini; Winstead, Lisa – Journal of Latinos and Education, 2022
There is an urgent need for more Latinx students to pursue careers in STEM related fields as this has historically been an unserved population in schools. This mixed methods study examined the impact of a summer STEM pipeline program focused on hands-on chemistry concepts for 28 Latinx students in the 5th grade. Findings include statistically…

Andrews, Jessica L.; de Los Rios, Juan Pablo; Rayaluru, Mythreyi; Lee, Seungwon; Mai, Lilly; Schusser, Anna; Mak, Chi H. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
During the COVID-19 pandemic, an at-home laboratory program was created and implemented for a section of the general chemistry course at the University of Southern California. The experiments were designed to only utilize safe household items and no special equipment. These laboratory activities, spanning over 4 weeks, focused on concepts usually…

Safavian, Nayssan; Dicke, Anna-Lena; Gao, Yannan; Eccles, Jacquelynne – Grantee Submission, 2021
To better understand underrepresented undergraduates' motivation for pursuing their major, we examined undergraduates' articulated explanations for their major choice and its association with their motivational beliefs within an introductory chemistry course. Students' (n=503, 68% female, 56% First-Generation College-Going, 34% Hispanic)…

Bachofer, Steven; Cass, Marque – Science Education and Civic Engagement, 2022
This project report highlights a simple yet effective outreach lab benefiting the community partner, specifically the Alameda Point Collaborative (APC) youth program and Saint Mary's College students in a general science course. Building on a partnership focused on reciprocity, a portable lab experiment (Mattson Microscale Gas Chemistry lab) was…

Miao, Haoqian; Otsuki, Andrew L.; Beckett, Joseph O.; Mascal, Mark – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
How well does the undergraduate organic chemistry laboratory curriculum prepare students for academic research, or for a bench job in industry? Running experiments that are more representative of research chemistry has the potential to better equip students for working in a research laboratory, while at the same time giving them insight into a…

Ross, James; Nunez, Leslie; Lai, Chinh Chu – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2018
Students' decisions to enter or persist in STEM courses is linked with their affective domain. The influence of factors impacting students' affective domain in introductory college chemistry classes, such as attitude, is often overlooked by instructors, who instead focus on students' mathematical abilities as sole predictors of academic…

Works, Carmen; Fukuto, Jon; Lares, Monica; Negru, Bogdan; Lillig, Jennifer – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
The Chemistry Department at Sonoma State University teaches two upper division capstone laboratory courses as culminating experiences for our BS chemistry and biochemistry majors. The courses share complementary learning experiences and have student learning objectives (SLOs) of literature competency, experimental design, development of…

Nguyen, Angela Thien Huong; Antoine-Goeas, Xavier D.; Sulman, Muhammad; Tra, Linh Le Vuong; Cox, Charles T., Jr.; Gulacar, Ozcan – Education Sciences, 2021
A new teaching assistant model was adopted and qualitatively assessed for the general chemistry laboratory, in which both an undergraduate and a graduate teaching assistant provided instruction to students during the lab. Verbal interactions between graduate and undergraduate teaching assistants were recorded, transcribed, and coded using the…

Gulacar, Ozcan; Milkey, Alexandra; McLane, Spivey – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2019
Success in chemistry requires not only the ability to recruit prior knowledge but also the ability to establish strong connections between new and existing concepts to form knowledge clusters around core principles. How these knowledge structures are organized can be used to understand the relationships between concepts within a student's mind.…

Murov, Steven; Chavez, Arnold – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Despite its vital importance in our lives, chemistry is inadequately represented in most museums. Issues such as safety, replenishing and disposal of chemicals, supervision required, and cost are constraints that have limited the number and size of chemistry exhibits. Taking into account the constraints, a 21-station interactive and inexpensive…

Zowada, Christian; Gulacar, Ozcan; Eilks, Ingo – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
This paper presents a case study that investigated students' perceptions on the integration of a socio-scientific issue into a general chemistry course at a public university located in northwestern California. The teaching intervention is based on a digital learning environment structured by the software Prezi that students used to explore the…
