一项针对化学家的全国调查（n = 174）探讨了中学后无机化学教学实验室课程的自我报告格式和重点。观察到多种教学实验室课程格式，包括独立的无机化学教学实验室课程、作为多学科教学实验室课程组成部分的无机化学实验室教学以及缺乏无机化学教学实验室经验。此外，合成、表征和纯化方法的类型以及调查课程中涉及的专业技能差异很大。这项工作的结果对无机化学教育者设计和修改教学实验室课程的“课程现状”描述具有直接影响。此外，这些结果表明：（1）专业组织需要加强中学后无机化学在化学专业课程中的重要性，（2）对易于适应多种教学实验室环境的优质课程材料的需求，以及（3）呼吁进一步研究无机化学（和更广泛的化学）教学课程如何颁布
A national survey of chemists (n= 174) explored the self-reported format and focus of postsecondary inorganic chemistryinstructional laboratory curricula. Multiple instructional laboratorycourse formats were observed, including stand-alone inorganicchemistry instructional laboratory courses, inorganic chemistrylaboratory instruction as a component of a multidisciplinaryinstructional laboratory course, and the absence of an inorganicchemistry instructional laboratory experience. Additionally, thetypes of synthetic, characterization, and purification methods, aswell as the professional skills addressed in the surveyed courses,varied greatly. The results of this work have direct implications as a"current state of the curriculum"description for inorganic chemistryeducators designing and revising instructional laboratory courses.Additionally, these results speak to (1) the need for professional organizations to reinforce the importance of postsecondaryinorganic chemistry in the chemistry major curriculum, (2) the demand for quality curricular materials that are easily adaptable tomultiple instructional laboratory contexts, and (3) the call for further research on how the inorganic chemistry (and broader chemistry) instructional curriculum is enacted
