Talk:Chemistry education

message: I do not think this new lead is appropriate, but the material should be somewhere. The lead should state what chemical education is in summary, so this can be expanded later. Chemical education is not general chemistry. The give-away to me is that the term "chemical education" in bold is not in the first few words of the article. I am puzzled why Hallenrm added it. --Bduke 10:51, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I agree.  It doesn't seem to fit at all. I would fix it but I'm not editing right now, as I don't have my own computer.  Walkerma 18:32, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I will revert it. Chemical education is the study of teaching practice. This new lead is just a description of the teaching of general chemistry and the role of general chemistry in chemistry itself. It fails to understand what the subject is about. --Bduke 22:54, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: New lead by User:Hallenrm

message: The category :Category:Chemical education is being proposed at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 December 29#Category:Chemical education for renaming to :Category:Chemistry education. There are suggestions there that this article should be renamed to Chemical education, which currently is a redirect. Certainly the category and the article names should be consistent. What do you think? --Bduke (talk) 00:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Rename

message: I have now reverted twice the inclusion of material by User:Nategrove on Dr. Stacey Lowery Bretz. This material is completely non-encyclopedic as it uses the words "we" and "our" frequently. It is also giving far too much weight to one researcher. If it get added again, I will revert once more. Then someone else will have to take over. --Bduke (talk) 00:59, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I hate to tell you this, but the listing on chemistry education is woefully out of date and in no way actually reflects the reality of the discipline.  The programs listed do not even offer degrees (with the exception of the University of Arizon and the University of Iowa).  Those programs that do, and there are now about two dozen, are not even highlighted.  There is no information about the significant, historical figures in the field, nor who is currently working.  Hence, the reason for our additions (I say "our" because this is a project initiated as part of the Division of Chemical Education of the American Chemical Society's desire to increase the availability of information about our field).  You said that my addition focused too much on one figure, yet, the text as it exists only mentions a few of the two or three dozen significant researchers in the field.  Although there was only one faculty member listed, the plan was to quickly add similar information for the other major figures in the field.  We were waiting for the four day probationary period to end so we could add a photo so the other faculty could see what their entry would look like.  I have always viewed Wikipedia as a living document that could be continually refined and updated as knowledge evolves.  This insistance on maintaining the status quo flies in the face of the original goals of this project.  In any event, we want to be able to provide this important information to people who are interested in learning more about what chemistry education researchers do.  How would you recommend we do this?  Could we add a short section called "Researchers in the Field" to the main chemistry education article and then have a link in that short section to a separate wikipedia page that contains information about the separate faculty and their research programs?--Nategrove (talk) 02:38, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Yes, I came here to comment on that.  I find the "A look at chem. ed. in the world" section to be mildly interesting but it has way too much detail and is beyond the scope of what I expect to see in Wikipedia.  I think wholesale removal or distillation to a single paragraph should be strongly considered. Crystal whacker (talk) 00:16, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

message: General chemistry was redirected here. I reverted the edit, as I think it needs discussion. Please discuss it below. I will comment later when I see some arguments for the merge, but I am inclined to not support the merge. --Bduke  (Discussion) 06:55, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
