Investigation of knowledge, cognitive skills and attitudes that students acquire from the chemistry course in secondary education and their role in students' everyday life

Abstract

The aim of the present research was the qualitative and quantitative estimation of knowledge, cognitive skills and attitudes that the 9th and 11th grade students acquire from the Chemistry course. For this purpose an appropriate questionnaire was also developed. The cognitive part of the questionnaire contains 57 questions of various forms (short answer, multiple choice, completion) distributed in 16 exercises. The content validity of the questionnaire was tested by two panels of scientists and science educators who classified the exercises in thematic topics on the basis of (a) the content of chemical knowledge and (b) the cognitive skills that each question measures. The 16 exercises were classified in the thematic topics "particulate nature of matter", "chemical elements - chemical compounds", "combustion", "oxidation", "neutralisation", "acids - bases - pH" and "conservation of mass". The cognitive skills of the students measured by the questionnaire were classified in the levels " ...
