Mendeleev's Cards: Educational Game to Learn Mendeleev's Idea on the Periodic Table of Elements
Journal of Chemical Education, v100 n12 p4925-4932 2023
The periodic table is a fundamental tool used in chemistry classes that allows students to systematically understand different types of elements and their physical and chemical properties. While many textbooks emphasize the historical process of classifying substances, they often superficially elucidate the achievements of chemists such as Dmitry Mendeleev. To motivate students to learn the periodic table and characteristics of elements, various pedagogical methods using games have been developed. However, none have focused on reproducing Mendeleev's table based on his perspective. In this study, the authors developed a card game for students to follow the logical process behind the development of the periodic table. They presented a survey analysis that measures usage intention and learning effectiveness as well as student feedback on the meaningfulness of the learning activities. The students remembered the essential features of Mendeleev's table, even after 7 and 60 days. The results show that the game is an engaging tool that helps students learn the basic concepts of the periodic table and its historical development.
