Abstract:General chemistry is an introductory
course for various university
study programs and often includes a “recipe-like” approach
to laboratory training, resulting in students not perceiving the training
as relevant for their future studies or working lives. To address
this challenge, efforts were made to increase the relevance and learning
outcomes of hands-on training for bulky student cohorts from four
nonchemistry study programs by introducing a novel learning experience
consisting of a “get-ready step”, a cas… Show more
