Promoting Understanding of Chemical Representations: Students' Use of a Visualization Tool in the Classroom.
Wu, Hsin-Kai; Krajcik, Joseph S.; Soloway, Elliot
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v38 n7 p821-42 Sep 2001
Investigates how students develop an understanding of chemical representations with the aid of a computer-based visualizing too called eChem that allows them to build molecular models and view multiple representations simultaneously. Involves 11th grade students (n=71) at a small public high school and examines the changes in students' understanding of chemical representations. (Contains 48 references.) (Author/YDS)
