Smallwood, Zoe M.; Spencer-Briggs, Jenna L.; Xia Sean, Xiaoye; Ward, Michael D.; Hyde, Julie – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
The value of postgraduates teaching in undergraduate chemistry laboratories has been a subject of interest at universities in the UK, Europe, USA, Australia, and New Zealand. The role of the teaching assistant (TA) is already well-established in many laboratories in the USA, and such roles have been increasing in popularity in the UK. Postgraduate…

Greaves, Racheal; Kelestyn, Bozhena; Blackburn, Richard A. R.; Kitson, Russell R. A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Although having shown signs of closing in recent years, the Black attainment gap in UK Higher Education continues to be significant and, as such, has received considerable attention in the literature, media, and government. The reasons behind the attainment gap are complex, requiring further research in the area. On observing a possible trend in…

Insights into Study Strategies and Habits: A Study with Undergraduate Students in Spain and the U.K.
Fergus, Suzanne; Heelan, Amy; Ibrahim, Sara; Oyman, Hasan; Diaz-de-Mera, Yolanda; Notario, Alberto – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
The approach that students take in their studies at university is critical not only for their academic success but is equally important in life-long learning for their career and professional development. Cognitive science has demonstrated that retesting oneself on material when learning enhances and promotes greater retention of knowledge…

Parsons, Andrew F. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
A massive open online course (MOOC), Exploring Everyday Chemistry (eeDc), was delivered four times between 2017 and 2019, attracting a worldwide audience of over 15?000 learners from a wide range of backgrounds. This 4-week course was designed to show a variety of everyday applications of organic chemistry, targeted at high school students seeking…

Cranwell, Philippa B.; Whiteside, Karin L. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Language in chemistry is highly specialized, and for students, transitions in language complexity from high school to university can be extremely challenging. With an increasingly diverse cohort of students enrolled in UK chemistry degree programs, better understanding the linguistic challenges students face is becoming a greater pedagogical…

Bennie, Simon J.; Ranaghan, Kara E.; Deeks, Helen; Goldsmith, Heather E.; O'Connor, Michael B.; Mullholland, Adrian J.; Glowacki, David R. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
The reemergence of virtual reality (VR) in the past few years has led to affordable, high-quality commodity hardware that can offer new ways to teach, communicate, and engage with complex concepts. In a higher-education context, these immersive technologies make it possible to teach complex molecular topics in a way that may aid or even supersede…

Tsokou, Aimilia M.; Howells, Alix; Stark, Moray S. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2019
The ability to handle chemicals safely is a key aspect of the learning development of students studying chemistry; however, there have been no previously reported investigations of the quantity of chemicals spilled by students during lab experiments. Therefore, the first part of this article reports the assessment of the volume of chemicals…

Hennah, Naomi; Seery, Michael K. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Digital badges are emerging as an approach to offer microaccreditation for student achievements obtained in ongoing course work. They act to offer a formal recognition and framework for multiple small components which together make a significant contribution to student learning. Badges are promoted as a way of highlighting these particular…

Pearson, Russell J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Different approaches to the use of "clickers" (also known as student response systems) were introduced to a cohort of 127 students over a two-year period with the aim of making students think more deeply in-class about their chemistry knowledge. Student performance was monitored, and individual, anonymous student feedback was frequently…
