“…A 1979 survey to which 34 North American academic departments responded revealed that chemistry faculty perceive both academic and logistical benefits, and philosophical and academic objections, to the use of integrated experiments . A 1995 survey which sought to explore the use and longevity of integrated laboratories indicated that while integrated laboratories were generally judged to be superior to nonintegrated alternatives in terms of student learning, 6 out of 12 responding institutions reported that they had stopped or would soon stop using them, citing educator time, engagement, and issues around assigning responsibility as reasons for the discontinuation . Similar findings appear in reports of integration initiatives at single institutions. ,, Educators have reported that framing their reformation effort as addressing a specific problem, fostering departmental “ownership” of the program, supporting faculty members to spend time on the development work, establishing a collaborative body with responsibility for the laboratory program, and considering how to optimize the physical laboratory space appeared to support successful implementation of an integrated delivery model.…”

“…Student experiences of integrated laboratory delivery and the perceived benefits have been explored mainly via educator perspectives. 4 An educator suggested that an increase in student numbers may have been the result of their integrated delivery model for laboratories. 12 While several accounts of initiatives mention advantages and/or disadvantages for students, 8,11,15,17 and one includes direct quotes from students, 20 detailed explorations of student experiences do not appear to be available in the published literature.…”

“…Other examples of courses based on materials science are described in the literature. 12 For more than 40 years, 13 different approaches including the term "integrated" have been undertaken in order to improve undergraduate chemistry education. This term can have different meanings such as a laboratory course in the same physical space 14 or a program of study combining subdisciplines of chemistry into a single laboratory sequence.…”
