• Resumen

  • Innovation in the teaching and learning of chemistry is generally advanced by the creative efforts of many educators and education researchers. Many such efforts are reported, for example, in every subdiscipline of chemistry. It is less common, however, to have studies report on efforts to replicate previously published results. A newly released consensus report from the National Academies of Sciences, Reproducibility and Replicability in Science (DOI: 10.17226/25303), looks into several related aspects of the issue of repeating prior work in science. Some implications of this effort on the work of educators to innovate in teaching and learning are considered in this editorial.
