Teaching to learn to do chemistry in the laboratory
Seminar
Date: Wednesday 25 September 2024
Time: 12.05 – 12.55
Location: Room K438, Chemistry section. Svante Arrhenius väg 16A, Level 2 to the right, in the K-building.
In this lunch seminar Dr Hendra Y. Agustian will share a perspective from the context of research in practice. By focusing on student learning processes, i.e., how learning unfolds during various stages of laboratory work, how pedagogical insights are drawn to inform teaching and curriculum development.
Welcome!

Abstract
The main purpose of laboratory work is for students to learn to do chemistry. While there is a lot of thinking involved, the ‘doing’ part is what characterises experimental work and distinguishes it from other teaching formats such as lectures or tutorials. In university chemistry and higher science education in general, a lot of assumptions are tied to laboratory work, but those who do not teach in the laboratory may not have a clear idea of what is really happening in the laboratory, to what extent students really learn, and how they learn. This talk shares a perspective from the context of research in practice. By focusing on student learning processes, i.e., how learning unfolds during various stages of laboratory work, pedagogical insights were drawn to inform teaching and curriculum development.
