Jeopardy in the Inorganic Classroom - Teaching Descriptive Chemistry... 

During his university career. Professor Herron was active in research and curriculum development at many levels. He was on the author team that developed the Intermediate Science Curriculum Study (ISCS), an individualised, laboratory-centred program for middle school science, and he co-ordinated the field trial of those materials in Indiana. He is the senior author of Heath Chemistry (a high school text 2nd ed. 1993) and the sole author of Understanding Chemistry A Preparatory Course (college prep course 2nd ed. 1986) and The Chemistry Classroom Formulas for Successful Teaching (ACS Books, 1996), a book summarising much of his research in chemistry education. 

This first example (see Fig. 5) comes from a freshman student teacher of chemistry who had just entered a university teacher education program. We can assume that most of the imagination and attitude shown toward chemistry teaching in this case stems from this young person s past experience as a pupil in school, mass media input, and both peer group and societal influences. This particular drawing portrays a very structured chemistry classroom situation. This represents the attitude that chemistry classrooms are quite regularly teacher-centered and traditional in their makeup.

Finally, the interviews and the observed classroom discussions provided an opportunity to examine a teacher s preparations, actions, and reflections with respect to the use of multiple analogies when teaching chemical equilibrium. Additional research into student understandings and the use of teacher presented analogies will be helpful in enhancing the use of multiple analogies in the chemistry classroom. 

Student-centred teaching methods are essential to provoke effective thinking among students and to provide structured frameworks for communication and cooperation, which will ultimately help to enhance effective learning in the chemistry classroom.
