Assessing Students' Conceptual Understanding of Solubility Equilibrium

Abstract: A problem about solubility equilibrium is presented as a resource for the evaluation of students. It involves macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic levels of representation, and allows one to assess whether students have acquired an adequate conceptual understanding of the phenomenon. The problem, which starts with a figure using numbered particles, is useful for judging the relationships that students establish among the three levels. The difficulties students encounter while solving the problem are discusse… Show more

“…In this context, it has been established that the students can meaningfully construct their chemistry knowledge when they imagine the concepts at the microscopic level. Besides, they can also conceptualize their other knowledge and establish a suitable relationship between the concepts (Ebenezer, 2001;Özmen, Ayas & Coştu, 2002;Raviola, 2001). In this context, it is important to determine the students' microscopic understanding.…”

“…Narration by Dr. Ann Ion helps clarify what the viewer is seeing and highlighting techniques are also used to scaffold the process. Studies indicate that beginning general chemistry students have a limited understanding of the molecular and electrolytic behavior of strong electrolytes, weak electrolytes and non-electrolytes (32,(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)). Many students will express only the simple whole number ratio of ions when constructing atomic level pictures.…”

“…Gazlar konusu ile ilgili yapılan birçok çalışma farklı öğretim yöntem ve tekniklerin kullanılmasının öğrencilerin mikro boyuttaki bu konuyu anlamalarına yardımcı olduğunu ortaya koymuştur (İpek, 2007;Kaya, 2005;Yeşiloğlu, 2007). Mikro boyuttaki olayların öğrenciler tarafından tam ve doğru olarak anlaşılması için moleküllerin, atomların, teorik kavramların modellerle ve farklı somutlaştırıcı materyaller kullanılarak öğretilmesi önemli bulunmaktadır (Ebenezer, 2001;Çalık, Ayas ve Ünal, 2006;Ergün ve Sarıkaya 2014;Jaber ve Boujaoude, 2012;Johnstone, 1993;Özmen ve Ayas, 2003;Philipp, Johnson ve Yezierski, 2014;Raviolo, 2001). Modeller doğru ve etkili kullanıldığında öğrencilerin günlük hayatta karşılaştıkları makro boyuttaki olaylar ile kimyanın esasını oluşturan ve öğrencilerde yanlış kavramalara sebebiyet veren mikro boyuttaki olayları ilişkilendirmelerinde anahtar görevi üstlenebilir.…”
