Self-Chem: Student Engagement In Learning Through Flipped Chemistry Lectures, Michael K. Seery Jan 2014

Self-Chem: Student Engagement In Learning Through Flipped Chemistry Lectures, Michael K. Seery

Teaching Fellowships

This project introduces the idea of “flipped lecturing” to a group of second year students. The aim of flipped lecturing is to provide much of the “content delivery” of lecture in advance, so that the lecture hour can be devoted to more in-depth discussion, problem solving, etc. As well as development of the material, a formal evaluation is being conducted. Fifty-one students from year 2 Chemical Thermodynamics module took part in this study. Students were provided with online lectures in advance of their lectures. Along with each online lecture, students were given a handout to work through as they watched …

Scaffolding For Cognitive Overload Using Pre-Lecture E-Resources (Scope) For First Year Chemistry Undergraduates, Claire M. Mcdonnell, Christine O'Connor, Sarah Rawe Jan 2012

Scaffolding For Cognitive Overload Using Pre-Lecture E-Resources (Scope) For First Year Chemistry Undergraduates, Claire M. Mcdonnell, Christine O'Connor, Sarah Rawe

Teaching Fellowships

The aims of this project were: to develop additional online pre-lecture resources for first year chemistry undergraduates at level 7 and 8 to complement those prepared in the 2010/2911 academic year for level 8 students by Dr. Michael Seery as part of his teaching fellowship, and to evaluate the effect of implementing the resources with this year by analysing quantitative (test and exam results) and qualitative (pre-and post-implementation surveys and focus group interviews) data. Ten pre-lecture activities on organic chemistry were prepared and used with 87 level 8 students in Semester 2 and ten more on general chemistry topics have …
