Resumen de Eliciting Student Explanations of Experimental Results Using an Online Discussion Board
Ginger V. Shultz, Grace A. Winschel, Ronald C. Inglehart, Brian P. Coppola
An online discussion is used to engage students in data interpretation and analysis in an introductory organic chemistry laboratory course. Students post an audio or video recording to explain their problem-solving processes and to provide interpretation of laboratory data. The discussion board (VoiceThread) features a drawing tool that also supports the inclusion of images and graphical representations of data. The activities described are broadly applicable to any science discipline and are particularly useful in high-enrollment classes where opportunities for students to practice data interpretation and discussion of lab results may be limited.
