Active Education Methods Practiced in Undergradute Chemistry Courses

Abstract

In this study, we explain some active education methods that allow students to participate more than in traditional education methods and also we present some proposals on how to prepare an outline of a course and how to use these methods in the content of this outline (Introduction: role-playing, an interesting examination, experiment, demonstration, brainstorming. Main theme: cooperative learning, case study, concept map, role-playing, laboratory practice. Summary: question-answer, competition, puzzle, concept map.) and our results are presented. Some of these education methods were practiced in undergraduate chemistry courses and evaluations of these methods are based on students' attitudes towards the course and their feedbacks.
