Students’ attitudes toward practical work of general analytical chemistry
Keywords:
students’ attitudes, practical works, general analytical chemistryAbstract
The practical work of Analytical Chemistry is an essential tool in the teaching and learning processes for the training of professionals oriented to Chemistry. This work aims to know the attitudes of students of Analytical Chemistry of careers of Pharmacy, Biochemistry and Bachelor's degree in Chemical and Bromatological Analysis of the Faculty of Exact, Chemical and Natural Sciences of the National University of Misiones. The results indicate that the students have positive attitudes and consider that the practical works of the subject are important, useful and organized. However, the students say that the practical work is not clear and presents difficulties, mainly in the understanding of the subject. This demonstrates the need for a deepening of the research on the problems faced by students and the way in which classes are developed.
