    "title": "Investigating the Visual/Analytic Shift in Students’ Knowledge in Chemistry",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "We argue that the acquisition of chemistry expertise requires considerable conceptual changes, which among other\nthings involve a change from reliance on visual-spatial thinking to the employment of analytic strategies. We also argue that\nthis shift in chemistry and specifically in knowledge about molecular structure is related to the acquisition of expertise and not\nto individual differences in visual-spatial thinking. In this presentation we will present an experiment designed to investigate\nthe visual-analytic shift in knowledge about molecular structure in 132 11th graders. The results showed that the students,\nwho were novices in chemistry, could solve the items requiring visual strategies but not those requiring analytic strategies,\nsuggesting that they had not achieved the visual/analytic shift. Additional studies are needed to compare novices and experts in\norder to further test our hypothesis regarding the visual-analytic shift in chemistry.",
