Increasing Chemistry Students' Knowledge, Confidence, and Conceptual Understanding of pH Using a Collaborative Computer pH Simulation
Chemistry Education Research and Practice, v21 n2 p528-535 Apr 2020
The purpose of this quasi-experimental non-equivalent pretest posttest control group research was to determine whether or not the use of a collaborative pH computer simulation has an impact on the knowledge, confidence, and conceptual understanding of fundamental pH concepts for undergraduate Chemistry II students. A purposeful sample of 59 Chemistry II undergraduate students were administered pre/post assessments and surveys. Results indicated higher pH knowledge, pH confidence, and pH conceptual understanding among those students who had completed the collaborative computer simulation modules (23 students/ intervention group) instead of the alternative traditional classroom assignments (36 students/control group).
