Abstract

The PChemLO project is a collaborative effort between Chemistry Education and Physical Chemistry divisions. The main objectives are to develop learning objects based on inquiry-based teaching principles and investigate student attitudes and motivation in utilizing them.

The project specifically investigates male and female students’ affective dimensions when using these online materials to learn advanced chemistry topics like physical chemistry. It is hypothesized that the implementation of technology into inquiry-based science education may diminish gender differences in learning science content and using technology. This poster presents the method to develop and implement the learning objects in a physical chemistry course, along with a discussion of benefits and disadvantages from a gender differences perspective based on relevant literature.
