Improving Students' Perceptions of Benefits of Science Demonstrations and Content Mastery in a Large-Enrollment Chemistry Lecture Demonstration Course for Nonscience Majors
Majerich, David M.; Schmuckler, Joseph S.
Journal of College Science Teaching, v36 n6 p60-67 May 2007
A large enrollment, instructor-centered chemistry course taught with science demonstrations was transformed into one that was more student-centered. Course survey and examination results revealed more positive perceptions of the benefits of demonstrations and greater content mastery for students in the modified course than for those in the traditional course. (Contains 2 figures and 3 tables.)
