Chemistry Professors' Perceptions of Undergraduate Learning

Abstract: This study investigated 27 chemistry professors’ perceptions of learning in undergraduate education and their suggestions for adopting an inquiry-based pedagogical approach to teaching and learning. Semistructured interviews revealed that two thirds of participants perceived undergraduate learning in traditional ways such as the acquisition of basic facts in a discipline. One fifth perceived undergraduate education as an active way of learning, specifically taking advantage of existing opportunities for studen… Show more

“…Despite the push to include more formative assessment in classrooms, there is still a dependence on summative assessment (e.g., Black & Wiliam, 1998a/b, 2018Brown, 2004;Pellegrini, 2014). Brown asserted that this dependence is due to problems with cheating; the rigor and validity that can be maintained with summative (often multiple-choice) exams; and the structural limitations or strains on resources and budgets, which include some teachers being responsible for large classes.…”

Black and Wiliam (1998b) additionally suggested that some teachers may be entrenched in more traditional teaching practices and do not completely understand formative assessment, so choose not to use it or may use it incorrectly.…”
