Benjamin Pölloth; Dominik Diekemper; Stefan Schwarzer – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2023
Recent progress in elucidating chemical reactions allows to explain chemistry by the potential energy of the involved chemical structures. Nevertheless, from an educational point of view, empirical results indicate that students often do not connect the core idea of energy with other chemical concepts. From a resource-oriented perspective,…

Löffler, Patrick; Pozas, Marcela; Kauertz, Alexander – International Journal of Science Education, 2018
In science education, context-based learning is mostly based on problem-oriented tasks [Gilbert, J. K. (2006). On the nature of "context" in chemical education. "International Journal of Science Education", 28(9), 957-976]. Therefore, a relevant question is, how do students integrate the information given in the task into their…

Schmidt, Hans-Jurgen; Kaufmann, Birgit; Treagust, David F. – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2009
In introductory chemistry courses students are presented with the model that matter is composed of particles, and that weak forces of attraction exist between them. This model is used to interpret phenomena such as solubility and melting points, and aids in understanding the changes in states of matter as opposed to chemical reactions. We…
