Abstract
Students in a typical instrumental analysis course may learn more than 30 analytical techniques. There are more than 150 components associated with the instrumentation that they learn. To help students organize this large amount of information, we classified these components into four categories: sources, samples, discriminators, and detectors. In this work, color-coded pictograms are used to help students identify components associated with a particular instrumental technique. For example, a UV–visible spectrophotometer can be depicted by using four color-coded pictograms. Pictograms were created for instrumentation on each of the following topics: spectroscopy, electrochemistry, chromatography, elemental analysis, surface analysis, and thermal analysis. Methods to incorporate these pictograms into the instrumental analysis course and assess their effectiveness are provided.
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.
