Misconceptions in Chemistry: Addressing Perceptions in Chemical Education by Han

Description: Misconceptions in Chemistry by Hans-Dieter Barke, Al Hazari, Sileshi Yitbarek Over the last decades several researchers discovered that children, pupils and even young adults develop their own understanding of "how nature really works". These pre-concepts concerning combustion, gases or conservation of mass are brought into lectures and teachers have to diagnose and to reflect on them for better instruction. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Over the last decades several researchers discovered that children, pupils and even young adults develop their own understanding of "how nature really works". These pre-concepts concerning combustion, gases or conservation of mass are brought into lectures and teachers have to diagnose and to reflect on them for better instruction. In addition, there are school-made misconceptions concerning equilibrium, acid-base or redox reactions which originate from inappropriate curriculum and instruction materials. The primary goal of this monograph is to help teachers at universities, colleges and schools to diagnose and cure the pre-concepts. In case of the school-made misconceptions it will help to prevent them from the very beginning through reflective teaching. The volume includes detailed descriptions of class-room experiments and structural models to cure and to prevent these misconceptions. Notes The prime focus is to help the teacher to discover, diagnose and cure misconceptions at an early stage and to prevent them from the beginningDetailed descriptions of class-room experiments and models aiming at the discovery of misconceptions and their correction through active teaching are included Table of Contents Perceptions of Ancient Scientists.- Students Misconceptions and How to Overcome Them.- Substances and Properties.- Particle Concept of Matter.- Structure–Property Relationships.- Chemical Equilibrium.- Acid–Base Reactions.- Redox Reactions.- Complex Reactions.- Energy. Review From the reviews: "This well-documented and referenced volume, which is organized around broad basic chemistry concepts, gives various examples of students preconceptions/misconceptions to help teachers prepare lesson plans and develop laboratory experiments. The treatments and explanations are well done and the experiments are very creative ... . This welcome addition to science/chemistry education will be valuable for both practicing and potential chemical educators. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, researchers/faculty, and professionals." (D. A.
