Abstract

A combination of regular classroom teaching with the use of resources available on the Moodle platform has been designed to foster the development of skills for learning to learn for students in an undergraduate general chemistry course. The use of the Moodle platform essentially aimed at strengthening the students’ prior knowledge of chemistry concepts and laws, and at enhancing self-assessment of their study skills. In this combined approach, the use of platform resources is designed to contribute to time management, as well as for information seeking and understanding, in a communication and problem-solving approach. Assessment of the results was made through student surveys, discussion forums, and anecdotal observation by the instructors. The results indicate a high degree of acceptance by students of the use of this combined approach, promoting an increase of self-awareness on their learning process, which is an essential prerequisite for developing self-learning processes throughout life.
