“…Due to their extensive applicability in separating and analyzing active components from natural products, silica gel column chromatography (SGCC), thin layer chromatography (TLC), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are the techniques with which undergraduate students studying pharmaceutical engineering should be acquainted. Several reports on these techniques incorporated into undergraduate teaching laboratories have been published in this Journal . − These reports focused mainly on the students’ mastery of these techniques, which was the training of experimental skills, − such as to separate an unknown mixture consisting of two colorless solids, a mixture of vivid colored components, ,, or a specific active ingredient in a natural product, ,,, to help students become familiar with the operation of column chromatography (CC) or to optimize the separation process of CC to help students understand the separation principle of CC in-depth. ,, Only a few reports focused on the overall knowledge structure formed by connecting the fragmented knowledge or skills in teaching. − Fragmented learning is only learning certain knowledge units. Its drawbacks are obvious, such as the fact that the links between the various fragmented knowledge units are scattered and the lack of a mutual logical relationship.…”
