Enhancing Student Performance in Chemistry for Non-Majors Using Critical Thinking and Case Studies

Key Points

To evaluate how critical thinking and case studies influence the learning of chemistry among non-science majors.
Conducted pre-tests and post-tests to assess knowledge gain
Applied critical thinking techniques in chemistry lessons
Employed case studies to enhance engagement and understanding
Gathered student evaluations to assess course feedback
Students showed significant improvement in basic chemistry knowledge
Course evaluations indicated high excitement and engagement levels

Abstract

This study focuses on investigating the impact of critical thinking and case studies on learning chemistry by non-science majors. Assessment through pre-tests and post-tests has been used to determine the benefits of the approach. The results show that students’ basic chemistry knowledge improved significantly. In addition, student evaluations at the end of the semester indicated that the course was very exciting, and therefore students were eager to recommend the course to their colleagues.
