Why is it important?
[SAQs] is an effective new tool for assessing students’ meaningful understanding of chemistry topic because of their main features: they develop higher-order thinking skills (analyze, synthesize, evaluate), provide abilities to correlate between concepts and to discover new relations between concepts, and ensure the building of correct cognitive structures.
Perspectives
The results of this study were followed by observation of lower levels of mental effort by students from the intervention group, and higher levels of mental effort in the control group invested during solving both types of questions. This correlation between achievement and mental effort resulted in high instructional efficiency for the applied method in the intervention group, [SSynQs], and low instructional efficiency for the traditional teaching and learning method applied in the control group
