Chemistry Learning Problems Conditioned by the Lack of Visual Thinking Skills
A. Gendjova, L. Boyanova
Paper, national journal “Chemistry”
Bulgarian
Different problems of chemistry education generating lack of visual thinking skills are discussed in this article. Most of the difficulties arising while learning chemistry are connected with the lack of perception and ill comprehension of the visual objects or phenomena, inability to decode and evaluate dimensional features, to exercise rotation actions in the minds, to create the right mental models. These problems arise from the lack of visual thinking skills.
A model concerning the lack of visual thinking skills has been constructed and its psychological features have been grounded.
