1. Interaction. The interactions learners have with each other build interpersonal skills, such as listening, politely interrupting, expressing ideas, raising questions, disagreeing, paraphrasing, negotiating, and asking for help. 2. Interdependence. Learners must depend on one another to accomplish a common objective. Each group member has specific tasks to complete, and successful completion of each member’s tasks results in attaining the overall group objective.

Traditional engineering instruction is deductive, beginning with theories and progressing to the applications of those theories Alternative teaching approaches are more inductive Topics are introduced by presenting specific observations, case studies or problems, and theories are taught or the students are helped to discover them only after the need to know them has been established This study reviews several of the most commonly used inductive teaching methods, including inquiry learning, problem-based learning, project-based learning, case-based teaching, discovery learning, and just-in-time teaching The paper defines each method, highlights commonalities and specific differences, and reviews research on the effectiveness of the methods While the strength of the evidence varies from one method to another, inductive methods are consistently found to be at least equal to, and in general more effective than, traditional deductive methods for achieving a broad range of learning outcomes

This paper describes a case study focusing on the subject matter knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge, and beliefs about science teaching of student teachers in Turkey at the start of their university education. The topic of interest was that of teaching chemical reactions in secondary chemistry education. A written test was developed which used the research literature on potential student misconceptions with regard to different aspects of chemical reactions. Thirty beginning science student teachers were tested, with an additional eight interviews from the student teachers in the same sample. The interviews focused on student teachers’ views about how to best teach chemical reactions in lower secondary chemistry classes. The results revealed deficits in the subject matter knowledge of the student teachers. It also became obvious that the teachers in this sample held very traditional and teacher-centred beliefs when it came to chemistry teaching at the secondary level. Their teaching attitudes were ge...

Teaching Chemistry – A Studybook

This paper summarizes the work and conclusions of a working group established by the European Chemistry Thematic Network (ECTN). The aim of the working group was to identify potential areas for innovative approaches to the teaching and learning of chemistry in Higher Education, and to survey good practice throughout the EU. The paper starts by identifying and justifying the need for innovation in the methods used to teach chemistry in higher education to deal with challenges arising from the rapidly changing nature of higher education. This leads on to a brief discussion of each of ten distinct areas identified by the working group, where innovation is considered to offer opportunities for enhancing the student learning experience in higher level chemistry education. The importance of improved training in pedagogy and pedagogical content knowledge for new lecturers is also stressed.

Understanding students' cognitive structures in a specific knowledge domain helps to determine the “what, how and why” features of such knowledge, so that we can take these structures into consideration in teaching. The purpose of the present study was to identify students' cognitive structures about solution and dissolution concepts. The study utilized mixed methods within a non-experimental descriptive design. The data source for this study consisted of 157 11th grade students' written accounts of solution chemistry via a Word Association Test (WAT). A response frequency mapping method was used to identify the students' cognitive structures. To determine the nature of students' cognitive structures, sentences were analyzed in terms of misconceptions, lacking understanding, and vague understanding. Overall the study shows a very diverse picture in cognitive structures existing among the students, including many poorly-developed concepts. Implications for teaching are given.

This paper presents a pilot case study on developing a qualitative tool to evaluate science
student teachers‟ beliefs concerning science teaching and learning. The study is based on
student teachers‟ drawings of themselves in a typical classroom situation and four open
questions. Data was collected from 104 freshman science student teachers, and evaluated
based on the basic tenets of Grounded Theory. Applying Grounded Theory led to a
framework of categorising the student teachers‟ beliefs in three categories: (I) Beliefs
about Classroom Organisation, (II) Beliefs about Teaching Objectives, and (III)
Epistemological Beliefs. All three categories were expanded to a dimension between more
traditional beliefs and beliefs in line with modern educational theory. The participants in
the study were from different groups of student teachers in one of four domains of
science teaching: secondary school Biology, Chemistry or Physics or Primary Science. The
tool proved to be interesting for gaining insights into the beliefs of freshman science
student teachers. The initial results from this case study indicate that secondary student
teachers of Chemistry and, even moreso, Physics hold teacher- and content-structurecentred
beliefs about science teaching and learning, whereas Biology student teachers, and
even more pronouncedly Primary Science student teachers, hold more student-centred
and scientific literacy-oriented beliefs.
