“…Tal análise é reportada por pesquisadores em outros artigos publicados com essa temática e são corroboradas por pesquisas internacionais sobre a comunicação científica no ensino de Ciências. 5,9,18,19 Sabe-se que os cursos universitários apresentam disciplinas específicas sobre metodologia de trabalho científico e Português instrumental, como é o caso do curso dos sujeitos investigados, no entanto, essas disciplinas são ministradas nos períodos iniciais da graduação, bem como Informática básica, em que são trabalhados os itens formatação de trabalhos científicos. No entanto, o que foi relatado informalmente pelos acadêmicos foi a pouca interdisciplinaridade visando a aplicação das abordagens sobre comunicação científica e formatação nos conteúdos de Química, tendo como consequência conhecimentos isolados sobre os assuntos.…”

EVALUATING OF DIFFICULTIES OF UNDERGRADUATE ON THE REPORT OF CHEMISTRY LAB EXPERIMENTAL. Scientific reports are important tools for show results of experimental activities undertaken at undergraduate level. The aims of this research were detecting difficulties of undergraduate students in the elaboration of reports in the experimental chemistry subjects of students of the Science: Biology and Chemistry course at the Federal University of Amazonas in different periods (2 nd to 10 th). Results and discussion and theoretical bibliographic were topics reported with the most difficulty. The students showed little reading habit, however, which increases with the time they spend in university, also reflecting the retention rate in the experimental subjects. These results point to possibilities to reduce the difficulties in the elaboration of experimental reports by intervention alternatives more appropriate to the desired learning process, based on the students' reality. Detecting these points becomes an important to assist them in the learning process of academic writing.

“…The webcam takes power from the cell phone and requires no battery of its own. Importance of field trips in college level education was discussed in [8] and the portability of our spectrometer allows for experimentation during field trips. A sample holder consisting of a cuvette holder and light sources including white light source and two laser pointers can be attached to the front of the spectrometer at the entrance slit for sample measurements.…”

We designed and built a low-cost imaging spectrometer using an in-house grating and a webcam and demonstrated its applications for active learning in science with experiments ranging from understanding light spectra from various sources to detecting adulteration in edible oils. The experiments were designed and run in an elementary school in Waterloo, Ontario with young students from grade 4 to grade 8. The performance of the spectrometer is benchmarked to commercial spectrometers and showed excellent correlation for wavelengths between 450 nm to 650 nm. The spectral range can be improved by removing infra-red filters integrated in webcams.

“…Others have used extra assignments and activities to support class learning such as field trips (42)(43)(44) and service learning (45,46). The instructor described in scenarios #3 and #4 attempt to connect out-of-class assignments and readings to in-class discussions but failed to include appropriate structure or motivation for students.…”

Millennial students are team-oriented and prefer non-traditional lecture methods, yet convincing the current generation of undergraduates to participate productively in class can be challenging. Common traits for Millennials include a preference for structure and an interest in building peer networks. Participation strategies utilizing structured teamwork were developed and implemented in analytical chemistry classes through modified discussions and assessment. Students spent out-of-class time on projects and attending specific seminars, both of which benefited in-class participation. Incorporating intentional participation opportunities that complement the strengths of Millennials improved their engagement and learning. These participation approaches can be adapted for large lecture classes, non-majors courses, and other chemistry disciplines.
