Underwood, Sonia M.; Reyes-Gastelum, David; Cooper, Melanie M. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2016
The ability to use a chemical structure to predict and explain phenomenon is essential to a robust understanding of chemistry; however, previous research has shown that students find it difficult to make the connection between structure and properties. In this study we examine how student recognition of the connections between structure and…

Li, Xuesong; Van Wie, Bernard J. – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2016
The difficulty in covering chemical engineering concepts using traditional lectures and whiteboard teaching approaches means today's students' learning demands are unfulfilled, so alternate methods are needed. Desktop learning modules (DLMs) are designed to show industrial fluid flow and heat transfer concepts in a standard classroom so students…

Vitale, Jonathan M.; McBride, Elizabeth; Linn, Marcia C. – International Journal of Science Education, 2016
We compared two forms of automated guidance to support students' understanding of climate change in an online inquiry science unit. For "specific" guidance, we directly communicated ideas that were missing or misrepresented in student responses. For "knowledge integration" guidance, we provided hints or suggestions to motivate…

Mešic, Vanes; Hajder, Erna; Neumann, Knut; Erceg, Nataša – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2016
Research has shown that students have tremendous difficulties developing a qualitative understanding of wave optics, at all educational levels. In this study, we investigate how three different approaches to visualizing light waves affect students' understanding of wave optics. In the first, the conventional, approach light waves are represented…
