Purpose

The Meaningful Learning in Laboratory Instruments (MLLI) was developed to measure students’ expectations before and after laboratory courses and experiences, in both the cognitive and affective domains, within the context of conducting experiments in the undergraduate chemistry laboratory.

Population

The MLLI is commonly administered in college chemistry courses.
