ROJAS-HERNANDEZ, Alberto  e  RAMIREZ-SILVA, María Teresa. Experimental teaching of General and Analytical Chemistry from Mexico (ENEP-cuautitlán/UNAM and UAM-Iztapalapa) in the last quarter of 20th Century. Educ. quím [online]. 2012, vol.23, suppl.1, pp.136-140. ISSN 0187-893X.

In this work a description of different methods and strategies for the teaching of experimental general and analytical chemistry can be found. These didactic methods and strategies were applied in Analytical Chemistry Section of Escuela Nacional de Estudios Profesionales, Campus Cuautitlán, from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, and in the Basic Sciences and Engineering Division of Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Campus Iztapalapa, between 1978 and 2004. The methods and strategies were effective for the teaching of experimental chemistry and the development of abilities to solve specific problems by experimental path; nevertheless, the new generations have difficulties to learn in the same way; then new methods and strategies for the teaching of experimental chemistry should be developed for the students of the 21st Century.
