Description

Part of the Prentice Hall Series in Educational Innovation for Chemistry, this unique book is a collection of information, examples, and references on learning theory, teaching methods, and pedagogical issues related to teaching chemistry to college students.   In the last several years there has been considerable activity and research in chemical education, and the materials in this book integrate the latest developments in chemistry.  Each chapter is written by a chemist who has some expertise in the specific technique discussed, has done some research on the technique, and has applied the technique in a chemistry course.


Features

• Collection of articles organized in a rational way — However, each article is able to stand on its own.

 

• Appropriate for instructors at all levels — Teaching assistant training materials, theory and strategies for new professors, and updated information on the changing educational environment for experienced professors

 

• Learning theory in context — Includes review of literature, examples from teaching chemistry, and alternatives to lecture that provide more active student participation

 

• Introductory overview — Written by J. Dudley Herron, one of the founders of chemical education

 

• Suggested readings in selected chapters — Provide resources for chemistry instructors

 

• Online references for Chapter 16 — Provided on www.prenhall.com website
