Promoting Conceptual Learning Using Scaffolded Activities That Incorporate Interactive Simulations
Interactive simulations have been shown to enhance conceptual understanding through multiple dynamic representations and supporting the inquiry process by offering repeated trials with rapid feedback. However, incorporating simulation-based activities into large-enrollment gateway courses presents challenges. In an effort to address this, we effectively utilized discussion/recitation sections to implement simulation-based collaborative concept de…

The promise of mastery-based testing for promoting student engagement, self-regulated learning, and performance in gateway STEM courses
Decades of research show that tests, beyond assessing student knowledge, are powerful tools for promoting learning. However, high-stakes tests can also cause stress and disengagement. To utilize tests to encourage and motivate students, we implemented a mastery-based testing system in a large-enrollment general chemistry course (N = 234). This system allowed students to take three versions of each unit test, studying digital course resources in b…
Implementing Mastery Grading in Large Enrollment General Chemistry
Specifications and mastery grading schemes have been growing in popularity in higher education over the past several years, and reports of specifications grading and other alternative grading systems are emerging in the chemistry education literature. The general goal of these alternative grading approaches is to reduce the reliance on high-stakes exams and give students a more transparent pathway to achieving the course learning outcomes. More i…
Advancing multimedia learning for science
Embodied learning tools (ELTs), such as building and manipulating models, bolster students’ learning of spatially demanding science content, such as stereochemistry. However, studies comparing the effectiveness of virtual to physical ELTs on student learning are limited. This study compares online instruction using a virtual ELT, virtual models, to a physical ELT, physical models, on organic chemistry students' stereochemistry understanding. Furt…
