Chemistry Teachers Can Develop Natural Science Competences by Using Chemical Models: From Pupils as Model Assemblers to Pupils as Creators of Self-Made Models | Chapter 6 | Research Highlights in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 8

 In this research, distinguished emphasis is likely to complex competencies not only their acquisition, but preferably how pupils evolve them. For this purpose, a learning approach has been grown, called education by self-generating chemical models. Pupils gain individually on their own models, that are made from surely accessible, low-cost fabrics.The study involved first- old age secondary school-pupils, defined as self-inventors of paper- and -wire models (exploratory group) and assemblers of commercial models (named the control group). The research results indicate the correctness of the delineated assumption of the taller performance of model self-engine converting energy in designing and developing deeper self-information, as well as in getting a number of generic and physical science competences. The molecules substitute appeared as lines shapes and structures, which undergraduates represented by forging paper or plasticine models in the shape of spheres, known as wire models.Based on the results of mathematical processing of the dossier, we have found out what self-creation of models (as an creative approach) leads to better understanding and to subsequently maintained knowledge for the student. Additionally, it should be emphasized that pupils who self-create models as opposed to those the one just put the models together, often grown numerous difficult skills in the areas of logical, practical ability, mathematical ability, and critical thinking abilities. The information that was gained thus was also better understood.
