Fombona-Pascual, Alba; Fombona, Javier; Vazquez-Cano, Esteban – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2022
Atomic/molecular visualization for human sight is usually generated by a software that reproduces a 3D reality on a 2D screen. Although Virtual Reality (VR) software was originally developed for the gaming industry, now it is used in academia for chemistry teaching. This work reviews the scientific literature on 3D visualization in stereoscopic…

Akaygun, Sevil – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2016
Visualizing the chemical structure and dynamics of particles has been challenging for many students; therefore, various visualizations and tools have been used in chemistry education. For science educators, it has been important to understand how students visualize and represent particular phenomena--i.e., their mental models-- to design more…

Carlisle, Deborah; Tyson, Julian; Nieswandt, Martina – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2015
The study of chemistry requires the understanding and use of spatial relationships, which can be challenging for many students. Prior research has shown that there is a need to develop students' spatial reasoning skills. To that end, this study implemented guided activities designed to strengthen students' spatial skills, with the aim of improving…

Dangur, Vered; Avargil, Shirly; Peskin, Uri; Dori, Yehudit Judy – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2014
Most undergraduate chemistry courses and a few high school honors courses, which focus on physical chemistry and quantum mechanics, are highly mathematically-oriented. At the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, we developed a new module for high school students, titled "Chemistry--From 'the Hole' to 'the Whole': From the Nanoscale to…
