Creator:: Gess-Newsome, Julie
Abstract:: Current reforms in science education advocate instruction which capitalizes on broad, integrative understandings of a few underlying concepts. Such recommendations imply that science teachers already hold integrated conceptualizations and will use such understandings to guide practice. However, little research exists which delineates the global content understandings of biology teachers (herein...

Creator:: Wolfer, Adam J.
Abstract:: Previous research has shown a gap between chemistry students' conceptual and computational understandings of chemistry topics such as gas laws, equilibrium, and reactions. This qualitative study examined the conceptual and computational understandings of stoichiometry of college students enrolled in a large lecture Introductory Chemistry course. Factors that might influence students'...
