Cognitive Apprenticeship Theory and Graduate Chemistry Education
Hi-Res PDF
Abstract
We address the issues of reform in laboratory instruction by linking the critical details in that process to graduate programs designed to teach advanced students the process(es) of "doing" chemistry. The link is the theory of cognitive development, which we show is an excellent model for the training of graduate students.

From Chemical Analysis to Analyzing Chemical Education: An Interview with Joseph J. Lagowski
Liberato CardelliniJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (12), 1308-1316From Chemical Analysis to Analyzing Chemical Education: An Interview with Joseph J. Lagowski
Liberato CardelliniJournal of Chemical Education2010 87 (12), 1308-1316This interview provides glimpses of Joseph J. Lagowski and his life from the time he played with a Gilbert chemistry set, to his tenure at The University of Texas at Austin. His initial interest in chemistry was further nurtured and developed thanks to an ...
The Fuge Tube Diode Array Spectrophotometer
B. T. Arneson , K. K. Stewart , J. J. Lagowski and S. R. LongJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (12), 1663The Fuge Tube Diode Array Spectrophotometer
B. T. Arneson , K. K. Stewart , J. J. Lagowski and S. R. LongJournal of Chemical Education2008 85 (12), 1663We present the details for adapting a diode array UV–vis spectrophotometer to incorporate the use of polypropylene microcentrifuge tubes—fuge tubes—as cuvettes. Optical data are presented validating that the polyethylene fuge tubes are equivalent to the ...

Banaszak HollJournal of Chemical Education2007 84 (2), 265Most students taking general chemistry courses do not intend to pursue careers in chemistry; in fact, they are more likely to end up in positions where they fund, write, or vote for chemical research and policies. Our profession continues to ask how we ...
