Using Chemistry Education Research to Improve Teaching and Learning I
This symposium will feature invited speakers discussing developments in chemistry education research, and how this information can be used to improve teaching and learning. We now know a great deal about how people learn, yet much of this knowledge has yet to be implemented in the classroom. Speakers in this symposium will relate research findings to practical classroom applications. Invited speakers only.
