Problem solving is a key component of authentic scientific research and practice in organic chemistry. One factor that has been shown to have a major role in successful problem solving in a variety of disciplines is metacognitive regulation, defined as the control of one's thought processes through the use of planning, monitoring, and evaluation…

Wu, Chao-Jung; Liu, Chia-Yu – Instructional Science: An International Journal of the Learning Sciences, 2022
Our objective in this study was to investigate how the eye-movement behavior and concurrent verbal protocols of students with high-/low-prior-knowledge were reflected in the use of multiple representations for scientific argumentation. We also examined the degree of consistency between eye-fixation data and verbalization to ascertain how and when…

Omarchevska, Yoana; Lachner, Andreas; Richter, Juliane; Scheiter, Katharina – Educational Psychology Review, 2022
Guided inquiry learning is an effective method for learning about scientific concepts. The present study investigated the effects of combining video modeling (VM) examples and metacognitive prompts on university students' (N = 127) scientific reasoning and self-regulation during inquiry learning. We compared the effects of watching VM examples…

Finkenstaedt-Quinn, Solaire A.; Watts, Field M.; Petterson, Michael N.; Archer, Sabrina R.; Snyder-White, Emma P.; Shultz, Ginger V. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Organic chemistry is a required course sequence for many STEM students. However, research indicates that organic chemistry reaction mechanisms are especially challenging for students due to a mixture of underlying conceptual difficulties, the process-oriented thinking inherent to the discipline, and the representations commonly used to depict…

Petterson, Michael N.; Watts, Field M.; Snyder-White, Emma P.; Archer, Sabrina R.; Shultz, Ginger V.; Finkenstaedt-Quinn, Solaire A. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2020
An understanding of acid-base reactions is necessary for success in chemistry courses and relevant to careers outside of chemistry, yet research has demonstrated that students often struggle with learning acid-base reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry. One response to this challenge is the development of educational applications to support…

Zeineddin, Ava; Abd-El-Khalick, Fouad – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2008
This study examined the impact of two epistemic commitments on the quality of college students' scientific reasoning in the domain of hydrostatics. These were the commitment to the consistency of theory with prior knowledge and commitment to the consistency of theory with evidence. Participants were 12 sophomore science majors enrolled in a large…
