Computerized Data Acquisition and Management in Freshman Chemistry Laboratory

埃德蒙角采煤机 海斯堡州立大学Fort Hays State University 1995财政年度42，200美元海斯，堪萨斯州67601-4009 ILI -仪器 项目名称： 化学 标题：新生计算机化数据采集与管理 化学实验室 学生们在传统的实验室任务中接触到计算机的教学合理使用。 目标是：更迅速地利用实验室时间，及时反馈收集的数据质量，参与“假设”实验室信息探索的机会，以及在保持个人计算机熟悉的可接近性的同时，拓宽学生在熟悉使用计算机之外的经验。 我们的实验室在理科专业教学中已经使用的方法正在推广到非专业。 所有开始的化学学生，专业和非专业的一样，有计算机辅助数据收集和操作的好处，影响他们的实验室经验，在新建的实验室设施明确为此目的而设计的大约一半。 使用Labworks界面，使用实验者容易理解和构建的“脚本”进行数据收集。 计算机生成的报告指导反映了学生自己的数据处理任务，也宣布了个人数据集的质量的措施。

Edmund C. Shearer DUE 9552053 Fort Hays State Univ FY1995 $ 42,200 Hays, KS 67601-4009 ILI - Instrumentation Project: Chemistry Title: Computerized Data Acquisition and Management in Freshman Chemistry Laboratory Students are being exposed to the pedagogically sound use of computers in those laboratory tasks they traditionally perform. The objectives are: more expeditious use of laboratory time, timely feed-back about the quality of data being gathered, opportunities to engage in "what if" exploration of the laboratory information, and broadening of student experience beyond the familiar use of computers while retaining the familiar approachability of the personal computer. Methods already used in our laboratories in the instruction of science majors are being extended to non-majors. All beginning chemistry students, majors and non-majors alike, have the benefit of computer-assisted data gathering and manipulation, affecting approximately half of their laboratory experiences in newly constructed laboratory facilities designed explicitly for this purpose. Data collection is being done using the Labworks interface, using "scripts" easily understood and constructed by the experimenter. Computer-generated report guidance reflects students' own tasks of data manipulation and also announces measures of the quality of the individual data set.
