Analyzing Difficulties with Mole-Concept Tasks by Using Familiar Analog Tasks.
Gabel, Dorothy; Sherwood, Robert D.
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v21 n8 p843-51 Nov 1984
Determined whether chemistry students (N=332) understood analog tasks that could be used for teaching the mole concept. Also identified possible difficulties that students might have in solving mole problems. Seven major conclusions are reported and discussed, including the finding that two-step problems were more difficult to solve than one-step problems. (JN)
