Measuring Conceptual Change in Organic Chemistry.
Nash, Jane Gradwohl; Liotta, Louis J.; Bravaco, Ralph J.
Journal of Chemical Education, v77 n3 p333-37 Mar 2000
Describes a study that used the ordered-tree technique to investigate knowledge change across the first semester of a college course in organic chemistry. Finds that over the course of the semester, students' knowledge trees became more similar to those of their professors. Discusses possible assessment uses for the ordered-tree technique.
