Abstract

Effects of Authentic Learning and e-Learning in an Introductory Chemistry Laboratory Course

Highlights

Research into memory processes has progressed in recent years through the combined efforts of neuroscientists and cognitive scientists. This is especially aided by modern scientific research methods of the brain such as positron emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging
On the basis of pilot action research, the goal of this study has been the use of e-learning for the purpose of placing more emphasis on the contemplation of chemistry’s theoretical topics for effecting the quality of conceptual understanding
The results show that e-learning with traditional laboratory activities has the effect of forming chemistry concepts, and results in meaningful learning
