How AI Helped My Students Understand Procedures and Summarize Information in Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory
Main Article Content
Abstract
Students often view laboratory procedures as isolated processes, lacking the context to see broader methodologies. Traditional assignments aimed at bridging this gap, such as analyzing primary literature, did not instill a deeper procedural understanding. A revised approach incorporated AI tools to help students conceptualize general synthetic methods. Additionally, AI was used to aid in interpreting Safety Data Sheets (SDS), leading to increased student engagement with laboratory safety. The AI-integrated assignments proved more effective in enhancing students’ comprehension, preparedness, and critical thinking. AI can aid in students' development as independent, safety-conscious laboratory practitioners.
