Student Construction of Mental Models: A Framework for
the Evaluation
of Inductive Teaching Methods in Chemistry
This project addresses one of the fundamental questions regarding the use of inductive teaching methods (ITM) in chemistry, the impact of ITMs at the students’ cognitive conceptual level. Further, it seeks to apply this knowledge to the assessment, and evaluation of these methods
