The lack of conceptual understanding of Stoichiometry among high school students is a concern not only because it is a significant predictor of performance in college Chemistry but also because it reflects the need for instructional methods that teach students to use skills beyond mere rote memorization and algorithmic problem-solving.  Studies have shown that a more visual pedagogical approach to teaching Stoichiometry could effectively advance student conceptual understanding of Stoichiometry. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the effects of using a visual-based instructional strategy on the conceptual understanding of Stoichiometry among thirteen tenth-grade Chemistry students at AIMS, Saraburi, Thailand.  The approach involved systematic and extensive use of particle diagrams in their learning of four selected concepts underlying stoichiometry. The study further examined the attitudes of the students towards the method.    The study employed the one- group pre-test post-test design.  A Conceptual Stoichiometry Test (CST) designed by Kimberly and Yezierski (2015) and an Attitude Towards the Use of Particle Diagrams (ATPD) questionnaire developed by the researcher with the help of chemistry experts were the instruments used to collect data. Data were analyzed using the paired-sample t-test.  Key results indicate that the approach had a significant effect on the students’ conceptual understanding of stoichiometry and that they had a favorable attitude towards the use of the method.  It is recommended that chemistry teachers should be proactive and innovative in adopting research-based teaching strategies that support conceptual understanding.

The domain of motion or kinematics is important because it forms the basis of mechanics, an important branch of physics. By studying kinematic phenomena in the laboratory, high school students are likely to develop a better understanding of kinematics concepts as well as elements of the scientific approach to study natural and constructed phenomena. However, students encounter difficulties in understanding these concepts, just as in the acquisition of the skills necessary for the accomplishment of the different stages of an experimental process. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to provide guidance, according to a historical approach, which would inform teachers in the design of teaching sequences on the study of kinematics. Keywords: conceptual understanding, high school physics education, historical approach, kinematics.
