Problem-Solving Processes of Pre-Service Chemistry Teachers in Nigeria.
Adigwe, J. C.
Research in Science and Technological Education, v9 n1 p107-20 1991
The problem-solving difficulties of Nigerian preservice chemistry teachers (n=300) were investigated. The results from written tests and an interview show students were capable of constructing mental representations but not solution plans; had inappropriate approaches and strategies; exhibited structural errors relating to a disregard of given information and misapplication of given information; and did not evaluate their problem-solving process.
