| Abstract |
|
The New Traditions Consortium comprises faculty from two-year colleges, liberal arts colleges, comprehensive universities, and research universities who are united by the common goal of effecting paradigm shifts in the chemistry learning experience. The primary sites of New Traditions activity have been Madison Area Technical College, College of the Holy Cross, Franklin and Marshall College, San Jose State University, University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign, and University of Wisconsin-Madison. Individuals from a number of other institutions have contributed. Our approach has been to identify mechanisms of pedagogical/instructional change, implement them at different types of institutions, and evaluate their effects on student learning.
