• Resumen

  • In an attempt to improve student performance in chemistry courses, we adopted a new model for instruction, which we call the process workshop model. Based on a synthesis of several current ideas in learning theory and pedagogy, these workshops have produced substantial improvements in student attitudes, retention, and performance. This paper describes the characteristic features of the process workshop model, strategies for its implementation in a variety of contexts, and assessment results for courses in General Chemistry.
