Introductory Laboratory Program in Chemistry: Focus on Attitudes

消极的态度阻碍了学生在化学实验入门课程中取得好成绩并享受这门课程。为了解决入学学生的焦虑和幼稚问题，我们将开发一个为期两天的研讨会，名为“降低你的实验室焦虑”，每年提供几次。这个未评分的工作坊将向缺乏自信或准备不足的学生介绍对实验课程的期望。我们还将开发一个名为“实践中的科学”的新实验室，以配合普通化学预科课程。本课程的目标客户群与研讨会的客户群相同。通过基于日常物质和过程的新练习，它将为后续课程提供坚实的技术基础。将提供一本指南，以报道这些发展。

Negative attitudes prevent students from doing well in the introductory chemistry laboratory course and enjoying the subject. To deal with the problems of anxiety and naivete among entering students, we will develop a two-day workshop called "Reduce Your Lab Anxiety" to be offered several times each year. This ungraded workshop will introduce unconfident or underprepared students to the expectations of a lab course. We will also develop a new laboratory entitled "Science in Practice" to accompany the pre-general chemistry course. This course will target the same clientele as the workshop. Through new exercises based on everyday substances and processes, it will provide a solid technical foundation for the courses that follow. A guidebook will be made available to report these developments.
