This book is meant to be a companion volume for the ACS Symposium Series Book entitled Nuts and Bolts of Chemical Education Research. In the Nuts and Bolts book (edited by Diane M. Bunce and Renee Cole), readers were presented with information on how to conduct quality chemical education research. In the Myth book, exemplars of chemical education research are featured. In the cases where the chapter in the book is describing research that has already been published
(typically in the Journal of Chemical Education), additional information is provided either in terms of research questions investigated that were not reported in the published article or background information on decisions made in the research that helped the investigation. The main focus of this type
of discussion is to engage the reader in the reality of doing chemical education research including a discussion of the authors' motivation. It is expected that these two books could be used as textbooks for graduate chemical education courses showing how to do chemical education research and then providing examples of quality research.
Diane M. Bunce received her B.S. in Chemistry from Le Moyne College in Syracuse, NY; her Masters of Arts in Teaching from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY; and her PhD in Chemical Education from the University of Maryland, College Park, MD. She is a chemistry professor at The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC where she has taught for 26 years and directs a graduate program in chemical education. Diane is also the Associate Editor for Chemical Education Research for the Journal of Chemical Education and was an original author on the American Chemical Society's curriculum development teams for Chemistry in the Community (ChemCom) and Chemistry in the Context.
