An outcome-based approach to teaching and learning focuses on what the student demonstrably knows and can do after instruction, rather than on what the instructor teaches. This outcome-focused approach can then guide the alignment of teaching strategies, learning activities, and assessment. In organic chemistry, mastery of organic acid–base knowledge and skills are particularly essential for success. For example, Bronsted acid–base knowledge and skills are required in greater than 85% of the more complex organic and biochemical reactions we analyzed in this study. Despite the importance of mastering acid–base concepts and skills, the literature describes many related student difficulties. We identified essential learning outcomes (LOs) in organic acid–base chemistry by (1) analyzing more complex organic reactions to identify the acid–base-related skills and knowledge that students would need to successfully analyze those reactions and (2) analyzing textbooks’ explanations and coverage of acid–base chemist...
