Agustian, Hendra Y. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
This article seeks to provide researchers and practitioners in laboratory education, particularly those involved in the curriculum design and implementation of teaching laboratories at university level, with a conceptual framework and a working model for an integrated assessment of learning domains, by attending to a more holistic approach to…

Moon, Alena; Stanford, Courtney; Cole, Renee; Towns, Marcy – Journal of Chemical Education, 2017
Recent science reform documents have called for incorporating authentic scientific discourse into science classes as engaging in discourse has shown to result in numerous benefits. Whether these benefits are observed in students depends upon the quality of the discourse in which they engage. However, characterizing the quality of student-student…

Pickering, Miles – Journal of Chemical Education, 1990
Analyzed was the performance of students on numerical versus conceptual chemistry problems in their freshman general chemistry course and their sophomore organic chemistry course. Data indicated that the ability to solve a problem did not necessarily imply an understanding of the concepts involved. (CW)

Todd, David; Pickering, Miles – Journal of Chemical Education, 1988
Notes that laboratory work should be more oriented towards puzzle solving rather than technique or illustration. Offers three organic laboratory puzzles which can be solved by melting point alone. Involves lab work at the 100-200-mg scale but still uses conventional glassware. (MVL)

Beichl, George J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1986
The unit basis approach to problem solving analyzes a question in such a way that the student clearly sees what data are needed to solve the problem. Two examples are presented to illustrate the approach. (JN)

Tykodi, R. J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Presented are three methods for dealing with chemical problems involving reaction stoichiometry. (RH)

Venugopalan, Mundiyath – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1990
Described in this article is a problem-solving activity which integrates the application of microcomputers with the learning of physical chemistry. Students use the program with spectroscopic data to calculate the thermodynamic properties and compare them with the values from the thermochemical tables. (Author/KR)
Descriptors: Chemistry, College Science, Computation, Computer Assisted Instruction

Wilson, Harold – Journal of Chemical Education, 1987
Described is a teaching method for chemistry that gives college students practice in experimental design. Students are given a problem and required to design a procedure to solve the problem. Problems increase in complexity as the students progress through the courses. (RH)

Venugopalan, Mundiyath – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1986
Describes a computer program used in an experiment in which the partial molal volumes of sodium chloride solutions are calculated as a function of concentration from densities measured with a pycnometer. The complete program listing (also available from the author on disk) and a sample run are included. (JN)

Powers, Michael H. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1984
Outlines a problem-solving method for beginning chemistry students that utilizes specific, concrete steps as well as computer-assisted tutorials. The method involves an approach referred to as the Factor-Unit Method coupled with a graphical "road map" which allows students to trace problems from start to finish. (JN)
