In this chapter, we explore the interactions between philosophy of chemistry and chemistry education research including conceptual, empirical and prac…

Earlier versions of ChatGPT often struggled to align their correct reasoning with accurate final answers on graph-based physics questions. However, version 5.2 demonstrates a substantial leap in conce...

This study synthesises two pivotal philosophical notions related to student learning in higher science education, i.e., embodied cognition and epistemic cognition, employing theoretical and empirical ...

Learning to do chemistry in the laboratory involves dispositional, motivational, and volitional factors that sustain and direct inquiry. These aspects have been theorised as constituting an incentive ...

Background Technological Literacy (TL) is crucial in Biomedical Laboratory Science (BLS) for navigating the evolving Healthcare 4.0 landscape. This study explores TL’s conceptualization, operationaliz...

The Indonesian model of inclusive society ‘masyarakat madani’ is arguably based on a one-view perspective of Islamic intellectuals. Although it was intended to embrace the whole of society in general...

In this article we summarise over 60 reports and research articles on pre-laboratory activities in higher education chemistry. In the first section of the review, we categorise these activities as fol...

Laboratory work is at the core of any chemistry curriculum but literature on the assessment of laboratory skills is scant. In this study we report the use of a peer-observation protocol underpinned by...

Designing laboratory activities is a real challenge for those working in higher education. There is often an acknowledged frustration with the status quo, but a lack of clear guidance on what strateg...

Although the underlying principles and the founding history of international schools supposedly advocate the notions of providing equal opportunities, catering ...

Laboratory work has been a common element of science courses at university level for around two centuries, but its practice has been criticised by scholars in the field and related stakeholders. Mai...

This article seeks to provide researchers and practitioners in laboratory education, particularly those involved in the curriculum design and implementation of teaching laboratories at university leve...

With the purpose of bridging research and practice, faculty members teaching laboratory courses in pharmaceutical sciences at a research university in Denmark were interviewed about their perspectives...

Wicked problems have been characterised by their high epistemological and axiological complexities. These are the kinds of problems that may invade our classrooms because many of them concern many sta...

Laboratory work in chemistry has been extensively researched in the last decade but the gap between research and practice is still broad. This Perspective shares 10 guiding principles relating to univ...
