In this research we try to provide some answers to a number of questions based on the difficulties faced by
students in the field of chemical thermodynamics. For this we developed a questionnaire consisting of 19 questions
divided into three categories:
- The general capabilities of the student.
- The teaching conditions.
- The difficulties of students in dealing with chemical thermodynamics.
2.1. Population and sample:
We conducted our survey with chemistry students in the Faculty of Science Ben M'sik. The population consisted of
two categories:
- Students in the first year of the degree program who took the thermochemistry course (31 students).
- Students in the final year of the degree program who took the thermochemistry course in S1 and the chemical
thermodynamics course in S5 (63 students).
2.2. Interpretation of the results:
After collecting the responses, the data have been examined and the frequency of
each response category was calculated.
