Discusses research attempting to identify difficulties experienced by undergraduate chemistry students in performing specific logical operations at the formal level as described or implied by Inhelder and Piaget. (BT)

Presents a definition of problem solving and discusses process and stages. An outline is given of particular uses of problem-solving networks. (SA)

Describes activities of the Chemical Engineering Department at the Agriculture and Mechanical University (A&M) of Texas. Brief history of Texas (A&M) University's graduate and undergraduate programs, research efforts and the foreseeable future of the department are also included. (HM)

Describes an undergraduate chemical engineering course which was designed at North Carolina State University to introduce the experimental side of chemical process technology. The course lectures, experiments, objectives, evaluation and information sources are also discussed. (HM)

Discusses ways in which to help students solve problems effectively. On the basis of her observations of novice and expert problem solvers, the author suggests teaching the processes used by the experts directly to the students. (SA)

Describes a chemistry course for nonspecialist chemistry students at Sheffield University, England. Visitations to establishments within a twenty-mile radius of the school are listed. Emphasis is on the theory and practice of chemistry and the social implications of science. (SA)

Describes the results of a survey intended to determine the factors influencing students' attitudes towards practical work during the early part of their university career. (Author/SA)

Reviews the applications of the computer in teaching biology, with special reference to Computer Assisted Learning (CAL) in biology. Examples of available teaching materials are given. Computer Managed Learning is discussed as it relates to the Havering project. (Author/SA)

This paper, presented at the conference on the role of the laboratory in physics education which was held in Oxford, England in July 1978, describes how a Malaysian University has presented electronics and the laboratory work as a forced component in physics curriculum. (HM)

A description of an apparatus for demonstrating the trajectory of a charged particle, is given. A photograph of the equipment used in the demonstrations accompanies the text. (SA)

Described is an advanced undergraduate laboratory experiment in which radio-frequency transitions between molecular hyperfine structure states may be observed. Aspects of the quantum theory applied to the analysis of this physical system, are discussed. (Authors/BT)

Described is a graduate course in catalysis offered at Penn State University. A detailed course outline with 30 lecture topics is presented. A list of 42 references on catalysis used in place of a textbook is provided. (BT)

This experiment is intended as a classroom demonstration. It describes the preparation of materials, the procedure, and a few remarks related to demonstrating travelling waves of chemical activity in the Zaikin-Zhabotinskii-Winfree Reagent. (SA)

Investigates the effect of an activity-oriented biology course on the science attitudes of preservice elementary teachers. Forty-nine students enrolled in this course during the winter and spring quarter of 1977 at St. Cloud State University, Minnesota participated in this study. (HM)

Lists and reviews recent audiovisual materials in areas of medical, dental, nursing and allied health, and veterinary medicine; undergraduate, and high school studies. Each is classified as to level, type of instruction, usefulness, and source of availability. Topics include respiration, renal physiology, muscle mechanics, anatomy, evolution,…
