Teaching and Learning Distillation in Chemistry Laboratory Courses.
Keulen, Hanno van; And Others
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v32 n7 p715-34 Sep 1995
Investigated the problems chemistry majors have with learning distillation concepts in traditional chemistry laboratory courses. Reports that students take the generalized concepts at face value, construct decontextualized concepts for distillation, and cannot interpret their observations or make reasoned decisions based on the theoretical framework of a specific context.
