Chemical Education

According to the National Research Council, “…research is a process for obtaining information, and scholarship is a process for converting information into knowledge.” (NAP, 1998).  The American Chemical Society defines scholarship to “…include discovery of chemical principles, integration of chemical knowledge within both formal academic and informal public arenas, application of chemical knowledge to new problems and situations, and the study of teaching and learning of chemistry and related sciences.” (ACS, 2010-2013). Several faculty members at UGA are involved in Chemical Education research and two of them emphasize chemical education scholarship.
