Peer reviewedRobinson, William R.; Niaz, Mansoor – International Journal of Science Education, 1991
The performance of two groups of chemistry students, one taught using the traditional lecture method and the other interactive, in solving stoichiometry problems is described. The interactive instruction appears more effective for students who are less adept at information processing. The interaction apparently does not challenge better students,…

Peer reviewedAlick, Bonita; Atwater, Mary M. – School Science and Mathematics, 1988
Discusses problem-solving strategies and the successful strategy used to solve stoichiometric problems in general college chemistry courses. Reports that rereading problems, recalling a related concept, and reasoning deductively/inductively are the most heavily used strategies among 13 categories. (YP)
