A case study on using uncritical inference test to promote Malaysian college students' deeper thinking in organic chemistry

In Malaysia, the students' poor performance in mathematics and sciences needs immediate attention and remedies. In order to tackle this problem, an active learning environment that encourages students' question-asking capability must be molded. Transformation from traditional teacher-based...
