Abstract

Physical chemistry has an abstract and demanding nature, and research reveals that students hold negative dispositions toward it. The PChem Challenge Game described in this work is a board game developed to bring an enjoyable approach to reviewing quantum chemistry, spectroscopy, and chemical kinetics concepts at an undergraduate level. The game rules are neither purely luck- nor knowledge-based. Therefore, regardless of background knowledge, all students have a chance to win. As revealed by student and faculty member comments as well as survey and SWOT analysis results, the PChem Challenge Game was engaging, enjoyable, and useful, serving as a tool that provided learning opportunities. Future educational research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of the game in different higher education contexts.
