Teaching models development

In considering each of these five themes, relevant literature on learners alternative conceptions about bonding is reviewed, and the teaching models and approaches considered to encourage such ideas are considered. The chapter considers recommendations for the way in which the topic should be taught to minimise the incidence of these alternative conceptions, and to encourage learners to develop models of chemical bonding which are more authentic, and which consequently have more explanatory power.

As often in school science, here we are presenting a model. It is a model that has limitations and advanced students will go on to meet more sophisticated ideas. This need not be problematic, as long as (a) we are explicit that we are teaching models and (b) our students understand that developing such models is a core part of... 

Rate models (kinetic models) are used to predict rates of geochemical processes in the near-surface environment. Based on the author s 30 years of teaching and research experience, this combination of reference and textbook provides a systematic, comprehensive description of rate models, developed from fundamental kinetic theory and presented using consistent terminology and notation.

From the Model of Modelling framework and knowledge of stndents difficulties in learning chemical eqnilibrinm, we developed a modelling-based teaching sequence for this theme (Ferreira Jnsti, 2005). The seqnence provides students with opportuiuties to bnild, test and rebnild models in order to explain the occurrence of a given chemical reaction, the reversibility of that chemical reaction, the establishment of a chemical eqnilibrium in the system under stndy and the behavionr of the system when the eqnilibrinm is changed. The stndents were not directly introduced...
