Chemistry content

Boo, H. K. (1994). A-level chemistry students conceptions and understandings of the nature of chemical reactions and approaches to learning of chemistry content. Unpublished Ph.D. thesis. University of London, London. 

See the answer, be the answer. Many people find success when they carefully read the question and, before looking at the alternatives, visualize the correct answer. This allows the person to narrow the search for the correct option, and identify the distracters. Of course, this visualization tip is most useful for students who have used this book to thoroughly review the chemistry content. 

What new chemistry content have you learned as a result of reading these... 

More recently, at the 2004 Biennial Conference on Chemical Education, nursing faculty Dolter and Marshall (2004), then at the University of Iowa, described their use of focus groups to enumerate the chemistry content essential for the nursing practice. Their findings again indicated that biochemical topics were the most important to this group of students and they specifically indicated that membranes should be covered. 

In addition to the academic subjects, domestic science flourished in the polytechnics. The Domestic Science Training College at Battersea Polytechnic, renamed from the Department of Women s Subjects, had the largest number of students of any domestic science department in the country. There was significant chemistry content in most of the Domestic Science programmes as an example, Fig. 3.1 provides the Calendar entry for the chemistry component of the Diploma in Advanced Cookery...

In 2005, the El dimension items from an expanded (13 items per dimension) PLSI were distributed to 824 students enrolled in one of the semester two first-year chemistry units offered for mainstream science students. These units were CHEM1002 (Fundamentals of Chemistry IB), CHEM1102 (Chemistry IB) and CHEM1902 (Chemistry IB - Advanced). Each of these units assumes successful completion of a corresponding semester one unit, and includes both general and organic chemistry content. 

Another way of accomplishing recall of information in a chemistry content study is by supplying statements with blanks to be filled in. 

As its title implies, this is a general reference covering the basics of environmental chemistry. Contents indude general chemistry (matter, atoms, elements), chemical reactions and equations, water pollution and treatment, geochemistry, agricultural chemistry, treatment and disposal of hazardous substances, toxicology and occupational health, and nuclear chemistry. 

The contextualization of chemistry content in CBL aims to increase task value by making the connection of the content with personal interest and (future) utility more obvious for the students. Following the expectancy-value-model, context-based learning should therefore have an influence on the students choice of future science activities (Bennett et al., 2007). 

In order to satisfy the assumptions of the person-object relation of interest, we perceive the cbl task as a situation and its interrelation to chemistry content (see Fig. 2). The situation can be defined as a non-content-related trigger to catch student interest. It is provided in a learning task in the form of a written or oral story to which content knowledge can be related. Situation and content knowledge constitute the whole task and are considered the object of learning that affects the student. 

Kdlbach s (2011) study compared different chemistry content areas (water as a substance and properties of salts) within the same context situation (swimming lake). Learning from a scaffolded problem-oriented text, students individually learned the content. Situational interest in the topic of task was measured after each session and compared to a group that performed the same tasks embedded within a laboratory situation.
