Students' Ideas and Misunderstandings of Enthalpy and Spontaneity: A Review of Selected Researches

Bu çalışmada, öğrencilerin entalpi ve kendiliğinden gerçekleşme ile ilgili olarak yapılmış olan araştırmalardan bazılarının özetlenmesine çalışılmıştır. Bu çalışma bu alanda yapılan araştırmaların önemli bulgularını, tespit edilen yanlış anlamaları ve bunların muhtemel sebeplerini bir arada ele almış ve irdelemiştir. Bu sebeple, bu çalışmanın fen eğitimindeki araştırmacılara, eğiticilere ve kimya öğretmenlerine yararlı olabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Öğrencilerin Entalpi ve Kendiliğinden Gerçekleşme Hakkındaki Bilgileri ve Yanlış Anladıkları Noktalar: Seçilmiş Çalışmaların Bir Özeti

This study is intended to review some of the selected researches carried out on students' understandings of enthalpy and spontaneity. The review puts together the important findings of the researches, summarises the misunderstanings identified so far and the possible sources of these misunderstandings. Therefore, this study would be beneficial for the researchers and lecturers in science education area and chemistry teachers.
