CHIRAL project interview invitation

Qi Cui | Fri, 01/24/2020 - 14:43

Dear all,

We would like to invite you to participate in an NSF (#1915424/#1914996/#1915343) funded CHemistry Instrument Review and Assessment Library (CHIRAL) project that will develop an assessment library that contains inventories commonly used in chemistry education research and the evidence that supports the validity and reliability of these instruments. Your participation will provide valuable insights for developing the desired features of CHIRAL website that will be beneficial to the chemistry education community.

ACS DivChed-CER Webinar in March

Vicente Talanquer | Thu, 01/23/2020 - 17:50

The ACS DivCHED-CER webinar planned for this coming March will feature Stacey Lowery-Bretz (CER) and Mike Klymkowsky (BER) having a conversation about and discussing strengths, limitations, and challenges of using concept inventories in research and practice. We would like their conversation and discussion to be guided by questions of interest to the community of chemistry and biology educators (researchers and practitioners). What questions do you have that you would like them to address?
