MOLINA, M. F.. Use of experimental kits to improve attitudes and lower repetition in general chemistry. Entre Ciencia e Ingenieria [online]. 2018, vol.12, n.24, pp.89-95. ISSN 1909-8367.  https://doi.org/10.31908/19098367.3817.

This article develops a classroom innovation proposal, incorporating experimental activity in master classes through the use of didactic kits to improve negative attitudes toward chemistry and lower repetition in a general chemistry course. It is possible to apply 8 kits, with their development, development of guides and use, giving positive results on the attitudes towards chemistry, considering its difficulty, the interest of chemical knowledge and obtaining an appropriate disciplinary learning. Additionally, the kits allowed obtaining a rate of loss of the course over 5% compared to 38% for the General Chemistry courses at the National University of Colombia.

Keywords : attitudes; innovation; kits; general chemistry; repetition.
