Yim 2026¶

Yim, K.-H.; Lui, M. Y. (2026). Supporting Undergraduate Students' Learning in Practical Chemistry Courses through AI-Supported Experimental Design. Journal of Chemical Education. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jchemed.5c01311

q2 · i? · qualitative · r?

Staff focus group interviews. Staff could no longer rely on well-established procedures; they supervised diverse student-designed experiments covering chemical selection, procedures, and safety. Workload varied with experiment complexity.

"staff reported a significant increase in their workload compared to standard experiments. However, the workload varied with the complexity of the experiment"
