There is a gap in the literature regarding the association between critical thinking (CT) skills and student success in chemistry. This study sought to fill this gap by evaluating the association between CT skills and student success in chemistry. The purpose of this study was (a) to determine whether there is a positive correlation between CT…

Charen, George – Sci Educ, 1970
Presents the procedures, results, and conclusions of a study to compare the effectiveness of the open-ended chemistry laboratory with the traditional laboratory. Different classes of high school students in a college-preparatory chemistry course were exposed to the two laboratory techniques. The achievement tests and the Watson-Glaser Critical…

Coscarelli, William C. – 1977
This study, part of an instructional development project, explores the effects of three different representations of functional algorithms in an introductory chemistry laboratory. Intact classes were randomly assigned to a flowchart, list, or standard prose representation of the procedures (algorithms). At the completion of 11 laboratory sessions,…

Analysis of Instructional Outcomes of Students Involved with Three Courses in High School Chemistry.
Troxel, Verne Aubry – 1968
The outcomes of 1333 students enrolled in Chemical Educational Materials Study (CHEMS), Chemical Bond Approach (CBA), and a traditional chemistry course were compared on the basis of grade and ability level. For the total group, students taking CHEMS and CBA performed significantly better on the American Chemical Society Cooperative Examination in…

Torop, William – 1968
Investigated was the effect of different types of laboratory reports on measured outcomes of the Chemical Education Materials Study (CHEMS) Chemistry. Compared were procedures using essay laboratory reports, mimeographed laboratory sheets prepared by the investigator and completed by the students, the laboratory manual for the course completed by…
