Teaching tips for chemical kinetics
Students’ understanding is mostly assessed through numerical problems. Sometimes performance does not reflect understanding. Here’s why
Recent research has revealed differences in how students approach algorithmic and pictorial problems in chemical kinetics, as well as variations in their performance when solving each type of problem. Students’ understanding of kinetics is mostly assessed through numerical problems, and good performance can sometimes mask poor understanding. This article explains why and gives teachers some useful tips.
