The ACS Exams Institute Undergraduate Chemistry Anchoring Concepts Content Map III: Inorganic Chemistry
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a content map that applies to the entire undergraduate curriculum for first-year general chemistry courses and present all four levels of the map as identified for first year general chemistry classes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Updating the General Chemistry Anchoring Concepts Content Map
TL;DR: The Anchoring Concepts Content Map (ACCM) from the ACS Examinations Institute is updated as mentioned in this paper, which is used to align test items from ACS Exams over the past 20 years revealed specific omissions in the initially published General Chemistry ACCM.
Journal ArticleDOI
Building the ACS Exams Anchoring Concept Content Map for Undergraduate Chemistry
TL;DR: The ability to coherently assess content knowledge throughout an entire undergraduate career represents a significant advantage for programmatic assessment strategies as discussed by the authors, and Chemistry, as a discipline, has an unusual tool in this regard because of the nationally standardized exams from the ACS Exams Institute.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systems thinking for education about the molecular basis of sustainability
TL;DR: In this article, a Systems Thinking in Chemistry Education (SWEED) framework is proposed to integrate knowledge about the molecular world with the sustainability of Earth and societal systems. But it does not consider the role of the human body in the process of chemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI
