项目摘要

The Chemical Professional Laboratory Program (CPLP) is being initiated at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) as a new mode for writing and teaching general chemistry laboratories. The program teaches chemistry with environments that simulate the experience and workplace of chemical professionals. Assistance is being provided by faculty from professional programs, including engineering, nursing, pharmacy, and laboratory sciences. The program includes four Chicago-area community colleges that are also major sources of UIC professional students. These are the College of DuPage, William Rainey Harper College, Oakton College, and Harold Washington College of the City Colleges of Chicago. Faculty from those schools are consulting with those at UIC on the development of the program, and they are acting as dissemination sites. The laboratories feature one week where general chemistry concepts and techniques are studied in a "normal" manner. In the second and, occasionally, third weeks the students apply these techniques to a procedure that simulates or replicates the environment where a non-chemist might need to use chemistry. Examples include control of blood acidity after a heart attack; development and testing of a new catalyst; and analysis of elemental composition of soil. The program includes an assessment run by a faculty member from the UIC College of Education. The assessment uses qualitative methods, to make it more useful in revising the CPLP lab manual and in learning the response of students to non-traditional procedures in the laboratory.

化学专业实验室计划 (CPLP) 正在伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校 (UIC) 启动，作为编写和教学普通化学实验室的新模式。该项目在模拟化学专业人员的经验和工作场所的环境中教授化学。来自工程、护理、药学和实验室科学等专业项目的教师正在提供帮助。该项目包括四所芝加哥地区的社区学院，它们也是 UIC 专业学生的主要来源。这些学院是芝加哥城市学院的杜佩奇学院、威廉·雷尼·哈珀学院、奥克顿学院和哈罗德·华盛顿学院。这些学校的教师正在与伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校的教师就该项目的开发进行协商，并充当传播网站。实验室为期一周，以“正常”方式研究一般化学概念和技术。在第二周，有时是第三周，学生将这些技术应用到模拟或复制非化学家可能需要使用化学的环境的程序中。例子包括心脏病发作后控制血液酸度；新型催化剂的开发和测试；和土壤元素成分分析。该计划包括由 UIC 教育学院的一名教员进行的评估。评估采用定性方法，使其在修订 CPLP 实验室手册和了解学生对实验室非传统程序的反应方面更加有用。
