“…Recently, we have started in our group a project to study several features of the teaching-learning of quantum chemistry in the context of tertiary chemistry education (Sánchez Gómez et al, 2001;Sánchez Gómez, 2002;Sánchez Gómez et al, 2002). In this work we have adopted an applied (or pragmatic) view: we have been interested in concrete features 3 , rather than in trying to get a general vision of the curricular structure of university 1 Quantum chemistry calculations are said to be precise within the chemical accuracy limits when the resulting heats of formation lie close to the exact solution of Schrödinger equation within a range of 1 kcal/mol.…”
