Students' Alternate Conceptions on Acids and Bases
Pan, Hanqing; Henriques, Laura
School Science and Mathematics, v115 n5 p237-243 May 2015
Knowing what students bring to the classroom can and should influence how we teach them. This study is a review of the literature associated with secondary and postsecondary students' ideas about acids and bases. It was found that there are six types of alternate ideas about acids and bases that students hold. These are: macroscopic properties of acids and bases, microscopic properties of acids and bases, neutralization, acid strength, pH, and titration.
