Abstracts (unofficial):
"Chemistry Education: The Crossroads of Psychology, Anthropology, Neuroscience, Education, and Chemistry." Gabriela Weaver (Purdue University)
By its very nature, the field of Chemistry Education is an integrated science. Work in this field draws from fundamental research in a variety of areas, and applications can have impact in an equally broad array of disciplines. Psychology provides the foundational learning theories upon which many of our studies are based. Anthropology is the sources of many of the "data-collection" techniques we use. Neuroscience is increasingly entering the field by informing practitioners about how the brain actually perceives and processes information. In this talk, I will give examples of some fundamental research that has contributed to the field of Chemical Education and will discuss applications of our research that reach out into other areas. This talk will also explore the ways in which the integrated scholarship of Chemical Education has impacts on researchers, educators, and colleagues.
