  2. 1. Models of chemical bonding : Representations Used in School Textbooks and by Teachers and their Relation to Students´Difficulties in Understanding

    Author : Anna Bergqvist; Michal Drechsler; Shu-Nu Chang Rundgren; Pernilla Nilsson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pedagogical content knowledge; chemical bonding; textbook analysis; students learning difficulties; models in science education; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on how school textbooks and teachers present models of chemical bonding in upper secondary schools in Sweden. In science, as well as in science education, models play a central role, but research has shown that they often are difficult for students to understand. READ MORE

  4. 2. Facets of chemical bonding that enhance or encumber conceptual understanding

    Author : Anders Nimmermark; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; student surveys; chemical bonding; secondary school; tertiary education; coordination chemistry; conceptual understanding;

    Abstract : Chemical bonding is a vast subject, rich in abstract concepts and advanced and less-advanced explanatory models that the learner has to master. In this context, the teaching of chemical bonding at the secondary school level is extremely important, as it has the potential to increase or hinder students’ further understanding of bonding.

  5. 3. Teaching and learning of chemical bonding models : Aspects of textbooks, students’ understanding and teachers’ professional knowledge

    Author : Anna Bergqvist; Shu-Nu Chang Rundgren; Pernilla Nilsson; Ingo Eilks; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemical bonding models; Pedagogical content knowledge; Teachers professional development; Chemistry education; Students learning; Kemi; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Despite the growing importance of science and technology in society, school students consider these subjects irrelevant and hard to learn. Teachers must therefore know how to teach science in ways that enhance students’ understanding and interest. READ MORE

  6. 4. Exploring the role that visual representations play when teaching and learning chemical bonding : An approach built on social semiotics and phenomenography

    Author : Emelie Patron; Susanne Wikman; Cedric Linder; Konrad Schönborn; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; chemistry education research; chemical bonding; visual representations; unpacking; meaning-making; social semiotics; phenomenographyh; Pedagogics and Educational Sciences; Pedagogik och Utbildningsvetenskap;

    Abstract : In this thesis, I explore the role that visual representations play in the teaching and learning of chemistry, using chemical bonding as a particular case. I do this in a novel way by drawing on a combination of social semiotics and phenomenography. READ MORE

  7. 5. Relationships between models used for teaching chemistry and those expressed by students

    Author : Karina Adbo; Susanne Wikman; Shu-Nu Chang-Rundgren; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; chemistry didactics; particulate nature of matter; phase transition; student expressed models; Swedish school; teaching models; Science Education; Naturvetenskap med utbildningsvetenskaplig inriktning; Science Education; Naturvetenskap med utbildningsvetenskaplig inriktning;

    Abstract : This thesis is focused upon chemistry as a school subject and students' interpretations and use of formally introduced teaching models. To explore students' developing repertoire of chemical models, a longitudinal interview study was undertaken spanning the first year of upper secondary school chemistry. READ MORE
