Master's Theses and Doctoral Dissertations
This chemistry education research study explores the role of computer animations in a secondary chemistry classroom setting. This study examines the effects of animation among secondary science students regarding chemical concepts and focuses on the nature of matter, atomic structure, and classes of chemical reactions. This project observes the effectiveness of animation usage in a secondary science classroom setting, which was measured through student opinions and impressions as well as performance. It was hypothesized that students would retain more information through the use of animations in the classroom. The concepts covered included linking the macroscopic world of chemistry associated with …
