Abstract: | Secondary teachers participating in summer professional development chemistry workshops in Texas used an online chemistry
tutoring program, OWL Quick Prep (Day et al. in OWL: Online Web-based Learning, Brooks-Cole Cengage Learning, Florence, KY,
1997) as a part of the inservice training. Self-reported demographic data were used to identify factors in preparation and practice
that affected pretest and posttest scores. Data from the pretests and posttests indicate that nomenclature and problems requiring
calculations were the most challenging topics for the cohort. The participants who correctly completed 90% of the questions
in the tutoring modules showed significant improvement in content mastery. |
