Ong, J., Loh, K., Han, J. & Fung, F. (2026).

the CRAAP Framework to Support Critical Thinking and Information Literacy.

Journal of Chemical Education, 103(2). https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jchemed.5c00624 (priced publication)

“This study explores the integration of the CRAAP framework (Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose) into an Environmental Chemistry course at a leading university in Asia to examine students’ approaches to source evaluation and perceptions of its utility. Sixteen third- and fourth-year chemistry students evaluated news articles before and after CRAAP training, with responses assessed using an analytic rubric. Students performed relatively well in assessing Currency, Relevance, and Purpose, but reflected a weaker performance in Authority and Accuracy. Positive student feedback highlighted the framework’s perceived usefulness and applicability beyond the course.”
