Christine E. Mundy; Marietjie Potgieter; Michael K. Seery – Chemistry Education Research and Practice, 2024
General spectroscopy is known to be difficult for novice students due to its complex and abstract nature. In this study we used a first-year chemistry Mini Spec laboratory activity to uncover language barriers to student learning in spectroscopy. Analysis revealed that language barriers generated conceptual difficulties for English as Second…
