ACS - Award for Achievement in Research for the Teaching and Learning of Chemistry

Organization: American Chemical Society

This award recognizes outstanding contributions to experimental research that have increased our understanding of chemical pedagogy and led to the improved teaching and learning of chemistry. The award will recognize research contributions involving a significant body of work rather than a single project or contribution. This is an international award. The award honors qualitative, quantitative, experimental research or case study research that investigates some aspect of the teaching and learning of chemistry. The research contributions may include the testing of research hypotheses, basing experiments on existing theories, incorporating what is known in the literature into the research, using an experimental design or recognized data-collection procedure, analyzing quantitative or qualitative data, and drawing valid conclusions from the observations and data. Any individual, except a member of the award selection committee, may submit only one nomination or one support form for each award in any given year. In nomination by petition, the individual whose signature is first will be considered as the nominator and the endorsements that follow will be disregarded.
