It has been shown that using quality control methodologies in laboratory lessons helps to find whether students have worked properly in the laboratory. Moreover, when a bias is detected, it is possible to find the source of the systematic error in most situations. In this study, quality control meth-odologies have been applied not only to find the ...

It appears that three factors interacted to stimulate the changes: a deficit and/or decline in students’ lab skills, awareness of student needs and general improvements or new/good practices in teaching and learning i.e. not all the changes were down to poor/declining skills, but this was a factor for some.
