Abstract

The course-based undergraduate research experiences (CURE) approach is increasingly being used in undergraduate experimental courses. Here, we describe the implementation of CURE in an upper-level inorganic chemistry course, in which students were assigned different current themes to study. This paper focuses on the theme of quantum dots, highlighting how guidance, inquiry, and research were integrated into the classroom. The quantum dots theme introduced various concepts to students such as electron–hole pairs, band gaps, particle capping, doping, and size effects. A questionnaire distributed among the students revealed that the continuation of their research throughout the semester kept them engaged, and they maintained a high level of interest in the subject. The success of CURE in this course is revealed, as the instructor and professor will maintain this approach in the next semesters.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Chemical Education is the official journal of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, co-published with the American Chemical Society Publications Division. Launched in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and related information as a resource to those in the field of chemical education and to those institutions that serve them. JCE typically addresses chemical content, activities, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. The Journal serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. This includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff who support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government.
