To´thova´, Martina; Rusek, Martin; Chytry´, Vlastimil – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
This work is focused on upper-secondary school students' ability to use the periodic table of elements to solve problem tasks. Eye-tracking and retrospective think-aloud methods were used to evaluate the reasoning behind the students' (N = 8) performance, i.e., to map the strategies they used and problems they faced when solving the tasks. The…
