Abstract

The results of chemistry education research provide a significant resource to inform teaching strategies and the design of instructional materials. This chapter will discuss some areas of research that should inform chemistry instruction and describe how research has been used to develop innovative strategies for teaching. The goal is to provide a resource for instructors wishing to learn about, adapt, and incorporate research‐based materials and teaching strategies into their courses, hopefully with the goal of “doing better things” to create more effective learning environments to promote students achieving a deeper understanding of chemistry and developing appropriate science process skills.
