Abstract
Cognitive and classroom research has provided the teachers of chemistry with a basis on which new pedagogies can be developed. The staples of instruction in the past were based on a behaviorist model, but the paradigm is slowly shifting to a constructivist model. Active involvement of the student in the classroom and laboratory is creating a change in the traditional roles of both student and instructor.
