An electronic apparatus, designed and constructed to be an equivalent of Piaget's first chemical experiment, was assessed in terms of reducing discriminatory and administration difficulties often criticized in Piagetian tasks. In this study, the chemical task and its electronic equivalent were included in a battery of five tasks and were randomly…

This booklet is one of a set of eight designed to be used in a self-paced introductory chemistry course in conjunction with specified textbooks and computer-assisted instruction (CAI) modules. Each topic is introduced with a textbook reading assignment and additional readings are provided in the booklet. Also included are self-tests (and answers),…
