Abstract

Forensic science plays a crucial role in the criminal justice system by providing essential evidence and aiding the resolution of crimes. One significant aspect of forensic science is functionalizing pharmacology, which involves the analysis of drugs and their metabolites in biological samples to ascertain their origins and potential effects. It is imperative for future healthcare professionals, particularly pharmacy students, to gain a comprehensive understanding of the functionalization of pharmacology in forensic science. However, there is a paucity of research on pharmacy students' current knowledge and comprehension in this specific domain. Hence, the present study aimed to utilize a questionnaire-based approach to explore pharmacy students' understanding of functionalizing pharmacology in forensic science. The primary objective of this investigation was to identify strengths and weaknesses within this cohort's knowledge base, ultimately offering recommendations for enhancing pharmacy education in this field.

Abstract

Laboratory work in chemistry is crucial for students to develop their skills and enhance their understanding of chemical concepts. However, traditional laboratory methods often involve hazardous chemicals, posing risks to health and the environment. To address these concerns, integrating green chemistry principles and local wisdom into laboratory activities is necessary. This study explores the perspectives and needs of in-service chemistry teachers regarding practical work that incorporates green chemistry and local wisdom, specifically focusing on the redox topic. A qualitative approach was employed, using a semi-open-ended questionnaire to gather data from six in-service chemistry teachers. The questionnaire addressed six key aspects about practicum. The findings indicate that teachers recognize the importance of integrating green chemistry and local wisdom into practical activities, which enhances students' comprehension of chemistry concepts and promotes environmental sustainability and cultural appreciation. However, challenges such as limited resources, time constraints, and the need for appropriate materials remain. The study highlights the urgent need for developing laboratory instructions based on green chemistry and local wisdom, particularly for redox topics, to create a more relevant and effective chemistry education experience.

Abstract

With climate change education (CCE) not included in Malian official programs of general secondary schools and physics and chemistry teachers are left to integrate it into their respective lessons. A survey was conducted to assess in-service and pre-service physics and chemistry (PC) teachers’ (n = 82) knowledges and perceptions for through renewable energies (RE) education in Mali. At the in-service teacher’s level, 85% desired to integrate RE, contrary to explaining climate change causes and consequences, perhaps because integration of CCE requires a didactic transposition that involves two major constraints: the legitimization of knowledge and the gap with scholarly knowledge, with compliance with programs to be satisfied first. Pre-service (master’s degree in PC) teachers’ results showed the influence of the disciplinary approach, with small differences and a complementarity of REs knowledge advantages and disadvantages, implying that teachers can actively participate in curricular innovation through CCE integration.
