Emerging Scholarship Approaches: 100 Years of Chemistry Education Research

Abstract

Chemical Education Research (CER) is perhaps the most recent addition to the corpus of educational innovation within the teaching and learning of chemistry. Nonetheless, the richness and diversity of the scholarly work within CER has blossomed impressively in the (relatively speaking) short time it has been part of the larger chemistry education enterprise. While setting the stage in historical context, the areas of emphasis captured in a new Virtual Issue about the publication of CER articles in the Journal over the past 100 volumes are summarized.
