Effect
of Multiple Representations on
Students' Understanding of Enzyme Catalysis
Dissertation: Chemists have always relied on
representations to understand and communicate the content knowledge of
our field. My research
focuses on the effect of multiple representations on students'
understanding of enzyme catalysis. Within this project I will be
specifically looking at how students interpret multiple representations
of serine proteases and any misconceptions that may arise with regard
to
enzyme catalysis.
Cognate Project: The first project will be
introducing inquiry
experiments into the senior physical chemistry laboratory that focus
upon the use of NMR and biophysical chemistry.
