Implementation of Modern Pedagogy, Reactions, Technology, and Techniques into the Synthetic Curriculum

化学(12)课程的变化正在将现代教育学、反应、仪器和实验技术的协同结合引入有机和无机合成实验室。四个新的经验，包括固体支撑的酰胺合成，多组分的Diels-Alder反应，数周的合成项目，以及教师指导的研究，将提供合成培训。作为四阶段教学方法的一部分，这些经验鼓励本科生做出实验选择、设计实验和交流结果，以便为科学思考和研究提供坚实的基础。这些课程变化正在影响智力优势的三个领域：学生综合技能的发展；教师对教学和研究的投入程度的发展；以及有机实验室通信技术的创新使用。课程改革有三个主要的更广泛的影响。首先，增加了用于合成产品定量和验证的GC/MS/MS，改进了可用于教学和学生研究的仪器。其次，这一项目正在影响相当数量的妇女。第三，新的研究训练练习对科学课程早期阶段的学生产生了影响。研究性训练练习和新的综合实验广泛适用于其他机构。这些练习将以研究论文和在地方、地区和国家会议上发表的形式提交给更大的社区。

Chemistry(12) The curricular changes are introducing a synergistic combination of modern pedagogy, reactions, instrumentation, and experimental techniques into the organic and inorganic synthetic laboratories. Four new experiences, which include a solid-supported amide synthesis, a multi-component Diels-Alder reaction, a multi-week synthesis project, and faculty mentored research, are providing the synthetic training. These experiences, as part of a four phase pedagogical approach, are encouraging undergraduates to make experimental choices, design experiments, and communicate results, in order to provide a strong foundation for scientific thought and research. These curricular changes are affecting three areas of intellectual merit: the development of students' synthetic skills; the development of faculty engagement in pedagogy and research; and the innovative use of communication technology in the organic laboratory. There are three main broader impacts of the curricular change. First, the addition of a GC/MS/MS for quantification and verification of synthetic products is improving the instrumentation available for teaching and student research. Second, this project is impacting a significant number of women. Third, the new research training exercises are impacting students in earlier stages of their science curriculum. The research training exercises and the new synthesis experiments are broadly applicable to other institutions. The exercises will be submitted to the larger community in the form of research papers and presentations at local, regional, and national conferences.
