Madhu Mahalingam, Elisabeth Morlino, and Elisabetta Fasella, University of the Sciences in Philadelphia
Students who lack adequate problem-solving skills often perform poorly. This session will involve a discussion of the instructional strategy adopted at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia to improve students’ problem solving-skills in general chemistry. Participants will then form discipline-specific groups to discuss the effectiveness of the instructional strategy in their own disciplines and develop instructional strategies that will work within their disciplines.
