本研究报告了一个互动的开放教育资源，即一个开放的虚拟实验模拟器教育工具（OVESET），在原子转移自由基聚合（ATRP）的动力学教学中的应用，在高分子科学教室。OVESET ATRP动力学模拟器旨在提高学生的归纳推理能力。鼓励学生进行虚拟实验，以系统地检查每个参数的影响，例如，聚合的类型和试剂的浓度，并观察每个系列实验背后的一般趋势并作出逻辑解释。该工具旨在通过开放许可证最大限度地提高可访问性和灵活性。该模拟器运行在可自由使用、修改和重新分发的笔记本环境下;因此，教师可以根据其教学环境调整模拟器。该模拟器可以应用于教室环境中，而无需安装任何软件，并且可以在不同的操作系统中使用。对实施情况的评估表明，学生的学习成果以及STEM和聚合物科学的认同得到了改善。学生们还认为该工具在提高他们的理解和归纳推理方面很有用。笔记本的快速和到位的反应使其成为课堂演示和课后练习的理想选择。该工具可在https://bit.ly/ATRP-Simulator上免费获得。
This study reported the application of an interactive Open Education Resource, namely, an open virtual experiment simulator education tool (OVESET), in teaching the kinetics of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in a polymer science classroom. The OVESET ATRP kinetic simulator aims at improving students’ inductive reasoning skills. Students were encouraged to perform virtual experiments to systematically examine the influence of each parameter, e.g., type of polymerization and concentrations of reagents, and to observe and make logical explanations of the general trends behind each series of experiments. The tool was designed to maximize accessibility and flexibility through open licensing. The simulator runs under the Jupyter Notebook environment, which is free to use, modify, and redistribute; therefore, instructors can adapt the simulator based on their teaching contexts. The simulator can be applied in a classroom setting without requiring any software installation and can be used across different operating systems. Assessment of the implementation demonstrated that students’ learning outcomes and STEM and polymer science identity were improved. Students also rated the tool as useful in increasing their understanding and inductive reasoning. The quick and in-place response of the notebook makes it ideal for both in-class demonstrations and after-class practices. The tool is freely available at https://bit.ly/ATRP-Simulator.
