Misconceptions in Chemistry Addressing Perceptions in Chemical Education

From the reviews:

“Designed as a resource to improve chemistry instruction, the book describes examples of student misconceptions and then suggests teaching and learning strategies to address or prevent the development of the misconceptions. … Each chapter concludes with a list of references and articles for further reading … . Misconceptions in Chemistry is a reasonable addition to a library collection for those who teach chemistry or who teach chemistry teachers.” (Renée S. Cole, Journal of Chemical Education, Vol. 88 (4), April, 2011)

"This well-documented and referenced volume, which is organized around broad basic chemistry concepts, gives various examples of students’ preconceptions/misconceptions to help teachers prepare lesson plans and develop laboratory experiments. The treatments and explanations are well done and the experiments are very creative … . This welcome addition to science/chemistry education will be valuable for both practicing and potential chemical educators. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates, researchers/faculty, and professionals." (D. A. Johnson, Choice, Vol. 46 (11), 2009)
