Summary: "Problem solving is central to the teaching and learning of chemistry at seconday, tertiary and post-tertiary levels of education, opening to students and professional chemists alike a whole new world for analysing data, ooking for patters and making deducations. As an important higher-order thinking skill, problem solving also constitutes a major research field in science education. Relevant education research is an ongoing process, with recent developments occuring not only in the area of quantitative/computational problems, but also in qualitative problem solving.
