Abstract

The affective domain refers to feelings-based constructs such as attitudes, values, beliefs, opinions, interests, and motivation. Unlike cognitive dimensions, affective dimensions in science education have received less attention, primarily due to the long-held assumption that science is reason-driven and separate from individual feelings.

This symposium will host research and theoretical papers related to the affective dimensions in Chemistry Education across all grade levels and age groups. Particular attention will be paid to issues such as gender differences, ethnic, and cultural varieties from teaching, learning, and research standpoints. The paper argues that while the reason-driven assumption may hold in research laboratories, it is less valid when teaching science to a broader audience, especially at early ages.
