Computer-Aided Data Analysis in Chemistry Education Research (CADACER): Advances and Avenues

This book offers interesting ways to look at research problems in education research by using Computer-aided tools. The focus of the book is to solve problems, to answer research questions in innovative ways using modern technology, and to look at and make sense of data by using tools that add both order and efficiency. Educators began using computers for developing and disseminating curriculum in the 1960’s. The next five decades (1960-2010) saw a revolution as educational research underwent a transformation from being manual to computer based.The emphasis of this book is on how one might use various computer software or programs in different ways to support the management of the data and the analysis process. Author Tonya Gupta’s motivation of this book comes from discussions in the field of chemical and science education about research methods and the availability of computer-aided tools that were available. The book aims to advance these discussions and provide new ideas to readers on the use of data analysis tools.
