Abstract
Success in general chemistry requires active engagement with course material. COVID-19 accelerated the move to online courses, creating a crucial need for engaging course activities. The Mysterious Compound chemistry game was designed to engage undergraduate students in introductory chemistry concepts while allowing the instructor and students to assess students’ confidence in course concepts. When comparing pre- and postsurveys, there were significant differences (p < 0.001) in students’ confidence levels on all the topics included. Positive and negative feedback was elicited and analyzed through student surveys. This game is an easy-to-implement engagement tool due to its versatile online format and adaptable design.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Chemical Education is the official journal of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society, co-published with the American Chemical Society Publications Division. Launched in 1924, the Journal of Chemical Education is the world’s premier chemical education journal. The Journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and related information as a resource to those in the field of chemical education and to those institutions that serve them. JCE typically addresses chemical content, activities, laboratory experiments, instructional methods, and pedagogies. The Journal serves as a means of communication among people across the world who are interested in the teaching and learning of chemistry. This includes instructors of chemistry from middle school through graduate school, professional staff who support these teaching activities, as well as some scientists in commerce, industry, and government.
