The application of psychology and technology are used in the learning process while we use programmed learning modules. In programmed learning we use the small steps of learning resulting in mastery. The modules helps to respond the learners activity and to give immediate feedback. The learners will get their own timing to go through the lessons…

The major purposes of this study were to evaluate the effect of the use of slide/tape units as an instructional aid for the teaching of laboratory technique in the college general chemistry laboratory and to determine if special instruction in creativity would effect creativity in chemistry. The units were evaluated under three conditions of…

Investigated were differences between levels of achievement of freshmen general chemistry students as related to high school chemistry curricula. Objectives of the study were: (1) to measure the degree of success achieved by college general chemistry students related to their high school chemistry curricula, (2) to evaluate CHEM Study as related…

This study was initiated based on the premise that it would yield relevant data that could be used in evaluating research to give directions for future studies. The author developed a Role Survey Instrument to measure the degree of impact that certain factors pertinent to the study had on the researchers and on the cooperating chemistry teachers…

This was a quantified study on the learning of certain theoretical topics in general chemistry as influenced by two methods of visual technique (single concept films, overhead projections). Four classes of chemistry students (non-science majors) registered in sections on a random basis, participated. Objective, multiple choice tests on each of the…

This study concentrated on three problems dealing with academic backgrounds related to achievement in college freshman programs in chemistry. One problem was related to the high school science curriculum. The other problems involved the possibility of devising a prediction scheme based on a student's academic background, and the possibility of…

The purpose of this study was to compare the affective behavior of students enrolled in the various high school science courses. The sample for the study included eight science courses. The sample for the study included eight science classes consisting of the following: 45 ninth-grade Introductory Physical Science students, 46 tenth-grade biology…

This study was designed to find out how far suggested textbooks have been adopted in teaching a new chemistry syllabus in Kenya and if the chemistry books now being used in schools to teach the new syllabus involve activity and encourage the process of scientific inquiry. The new syllabus is a merger between the traditional separate chemistry…

This study compared three one-year courses in high school chemistry. One of these, entitled Modern Chemistry, represents the "traditional" precollegiate chemistry course. The others are the Chemical Bond Approach (CBA) and the Chemical Education Material Study (CHEM Study). These are the two major revisions in high school chemistry which emerged…

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of various teaching practices and classroom organizational patterns upon achievement and understanding of science of students studying materials of the Nebraska Physical Science Project (NPSP), an integrated chemistry-physics course, and to investigate these practices and patterns and the role…

Compared were attitudinal characteristics and achievement in a college chemistry course offered by two different instructional methods. The experimental group received closed-circuit television instruction, and the control group was instructed by lecture and recitation. All students were pretested with the American Chemical Society-National…

The purpose of the study was to determine the relationship between a personality trait, dependence-proneness, and performance in the high school chemistry laboratory; to arrange laboratory groupings based on the pupil trait of dependence-proneness and to determine if these groupings affect laboratory performance; and to include and test other…

The purpose of this study was to investigate several variables related to teacher preparation and cognitive achievement of high school chemistry students. The teacher population consisted of 35 teachers. Twenty-three hundred student scores on the Cooperative Science Test in Chemistry were collected and categorized for relevant data. Two hundred…

The purpose of the study was to determine differences in chemistry resulting from a traditional and an independent technique of teaching. The population included four chemistry classes at Scottsdale Saguaro High School. Intact groups were assigned to experimental or control groups by random processes. The control group was presented the CHEM Study…

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of doubling the laboratory experiments and time in the laboratory on student achievement, performance on laboratory skills, and attitude toward high school chemistry. One hundred forty-three students were assigned either of two treatments. All students performed the same basic…
