Qian Huangfu; Zhouying Luo; Ying Cao; Weijia Wu – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Errors are natural elements of the learning process and provide a high potential to promote students' learning outcomes. In recent years, there has been much research about learning from errors. However, we know little about the relationship between students' error beliefs in chemistry and chemistry learning outcomes at present. Thus, the aim of…

Matijaševic, Igor; Korolija, Jasminka N.; Mandic, Ljuba M. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2016
This paper describes the results achieved by high school seniors on an item which involves translation of the equation P = kT into a corresponding pictorial external representation. The majority of students (the classes of 2011, 2012 and 2013) did not give the correct answer to the multiple choice part of the translation item. They chose pictorial…

Clauss, Allen D.; Nelsen, Stephen F.; Ayoub, Mohamed; Moore, John W.; Landis, Clark R.; Weinhold, Frank – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2014
We describe the logical flaws, experimental contradictions, and unfortunate educational repercussions of common student misconceptions regarding the shapes and properties of lone pairs, inspired by overemphasis on ''valence shell electron pair repulsion'' (VSEPR) rationalizations in current freshmanlevel chemistry textbooks. VSEPR-style…
