Jiménez-Liso, Maria Rut; López-Banet, Luisa; Dillon, Justin – Science & Education, 2020
We propose explicit and implicit approaches for the teaching of acid-base chemistry based on research into the history and nature of science (NoS). To support these instructional proposals, we identify four rationales for students to understand acid-base processes: daily life, socio-scientific, curriculum, and history of science. The extensive…
