Lorena Atarés Huerta; Juan Antonio Llorens Molina – Journal of Chemical Education, 2023
Despite the demonstrated learning benefits of peer evaluation, fears of teachers about its low reliability may restrict its use. In this study, the validity of peer assessment, in terms of agreement with the ratings of the teacher, has been tested in an organic chemistry course. The students were organized into small groups and commissioned to…

Julia Eckhard; Marc Rodemer; Sascha Bernholt; Nicole Graulich – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Supporting students in building well-grounded explanations plays a crucial role in scientific practice. Research in organic chemistry education on students' mechanistic explanations, however, has revealed various challenges. When solving mechanistic tasks, students experience difficulties when (I) deriving implicit properties from structural…
