TikTok is a social media video-based
phone application which enables
creative and engaging videos to be shared on social media platforms
worldwide. TikTok has been applied to create fun, exciting, and engaging
15–60 s long chemistry outreach educational videos, to encourage
public dissemination of science with a systems thinking approach.
With the creation of an online TikTok account called “The Chemistry
Collective” by undergraduate students, 16 educational videos
were created, with approximately 8,500 views. Upon surveying participants,
viewers of these TikTok videos strongly agreed that they had learned
something new about chemistry since watching these videos (4.66/5.00)
and had an increased interest in chemistry (82.7% agreed). As such,
TikTok can be used to enhance public and undergraduate student engagement
with chemistry and science education, together with facilitating the
ability of the public to understand how chemistry can be fun, can
be performed at home, and is part of our daily lives.
This article explores the need for a clearer vision of what 'good' looks like in the rehabilitation of offenders, whether in prison or in the community. Such a vision is needed to underpin not only innovative, and evidence-based service development but also outcomes led commissioning, and (in the context of England and Wales) the procurement of packages of rehabilitation services most likely to support the desistance process. The need for this is greater than ever, due to the current UK Government's Transforming Rehabilitation reforms 1 that are set to dramatically alter criminal justice policy in England and Wales.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
