摘要

我们介绍了为非理科专业学生开设的半学期实验科学课程 "化学与公共政策"。在这门课程中，学生们了解了化学创新已经或可能受到监管的若干案例，并学习了评估每个案例所需的化学概念。他们还进行了科学探究实践，并安全地执行了实验程序。在整个过程中，学生们学会了评估科学文章、立法和媒体报道，解释化学概念知识如何为政策提供信息，反之亦然。课程以一个期末项目结束，通过该项目，学生们实践了他们所学的宣传知识。

“Chemistry and Public Policy”: An Interdisciplinary Chemistry Course for Nonscience Majors

We describe a half-semester lab science course, “Chemistry and Public Policy”, for nonscience majors. In this course, students learned about several cases where chemical innovation has been or could be regulated, and they learned the chemical concepts necessary to evaluate each case. They also practiced scientific inquiry and executed lab procedures safely. Throughout, students learned to evaluate scientific articles, legislation, and media reports, explain how knowledge of chemistry concepts informs policy, and vice versa. The course ended with a final project through which the students practiced the advocacy that they studied.

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.
