"Concept Learning versus Problem Solving": Does Particle Motion Have an Effect?
Sanger, Michael J.; Campbell, Eddie; Felker, Jeremy; Spencer, Charles
Journal of Chemical Education, v84 n5 p875 May 2007
A research study was carried out to measure the effect of a computer animation as part of the assessment of conceptual understanding of second-semester general chemistry students. The major impact of the animation was observed to be in minimizing the difficulty students have in visualizing the particle motions for each distractor.
