Nakhleh, Mary B.

Journal of Chemical Education, v71 n3 p201-05 Mar 1994

Discusses appropriate methodologies for investigating how learning occurs in the laboratory. Presents two techniques, concept mapping and V-diagramming, which can be effective research tools in probing students' understanding of chemical principles. These techniques can also be effective instructional tools that help students integrate lecture knowledge with laboratory observations. (PVD)
