A COMPUTER BASED PROBLEM SOLVING ENVIRONMENT IN CHEMISTRY 

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to introduce the Mole Solver, a computer based system that facilitates monitors and improves the students' problems solving skills on mole concept. The system has three distinct modes that: i) finds step by step solutions to the word problems on the mole concept ii) enable students’ to solve word problems on their own by using appropriate problem solving strategies iii) makes students aware  of four step problem solving process.
