Planning a Teaching Sequence for the Teaching of Chemical Bonding

An Exploration of How Multimodally Designed Teaching and the Creation of Digital Animations can Contribute to Six-Year-Olds’ Meaning Making in Chemistry

“…However, chemistry is experienced as challenging, both for teachers to teach and for pupils to learn; for example, see [11][12][13]. One suggested explanation of this challenge is the fact that many chemical processes and phenomena cannot be observed with the naked eye and are therefore not part of pupils' everyday life.…”

Learning to teach chemical bonding: a framework for preservice teacher educators

“…This not only supports insight into chemical bonding, but also prevents the development of alternative conceptions (Taber, 2003). Second, two studies yielded the suggestion to use a bottom-up approach when teaching chemical bonding, based on electrostatic interactions (Broman and Parchmann, 2014;Sibanda and Hobden, 2015). In particular, the former recommends that "chemical bonding be taught based on physical elemental principles by applying the idea of continuum of bond strengths and by avoiding the dichotomous classification of bonds as covalent/ionic and intra/intermolecular."…”

Examination of Pre-Service Science Teachers' Model Based-Content Knowledge and Knowledge of Students’ Understanding on Chemical Bonds

“…Moreover, chemical bonds are perceived as difficult by teachers as well as students (Bergqvist et al, 2016;Dhindsa & Treagust, 2014;Levy Nahum et al, 2010). Teachers find teaching chemical bonds challenging and difficult (Sibanda & Hobden, 2015). Chemical bonding is one of the most important topics in science classes and is mainly taught to students using textbooks and models offered by teachers (Bergqvist & Chang Rundgren, 2017).…”
