Integrating Multiple Teaching Methods into a General Chemistry Classroom.
Francisco, Joseph S.; Nicoll, Gayle; Trautmann, Marcella
Journal of Chemical Education, v75 n2 p210-13 Feb 1998
Four different methods of teaching--cooperative learning, class discussions, concept maps, and lectures--were integrated into a freshman-level general chemistry course to compare students' levels of participation. Findings support the idea that multiple modes of learning foster the metacognitive skills necessary for mastering general chemistry. Different approaches reinforce the concepts and aid in mastery of the material. (PVD)
