Abstract

The State of Research in Chemical Education.
The positive strides that have been made in chemical education research are undeniable as are the contributions made by this Journal in furthering the development of the field. In this piece I would like to suggest that all may not be well, however, and that some simple measures could be taken to redirect the general outlook and thereby improve the reputation of chemical education research. In particular, I examine the current trend in favor of 'constructivism' in chemical education.
