TL;DR: After studying the subject of chemical equilibrium at school the two concepts merged towards one, i.e., becoming synonymous, which can provide an explanation for misconceptions associated with chemical equilibrium via the transfer of static attributes from “equilibrium” to the dynamic “chemical equilibrium”.

TL;DR: In this paper, three evaluation methods were applied to examine students' mastery of the chemical equilibrium concept: (i) a school achievement test, (ii) a misconception test specifically designed to pinpoint possible misconceptions regarding eight central features (ideas) of the Chemical equilibrium concept, and (iii) the free sorting of 18 concepts related to chemical equilibrium that served as a tool for cognitive structure mapping.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the failure of the Professional Development Schools movement in bridging the cultural gap, existing between schools and academic institutions, and propose a model based on the "ecological edge".

TL;DR: In this article, the use of constrained word associations to gain knowledge on the conception of the chemical equilibrium concept is reported, and the results obtained by this technique were similar to those obtained by the method of free sorting of a set of concepts.
