  2. Introduction: • In the last ten years, we have designed, implemented, and evaluated the systemic approach to teaching and learning chemistry (SATLC) (1-3). • Also we have designed a new type of objective test in chemistry based on systemics (4). • This Lecture focuses on the use of the systemic approach to teach problemsolving in chemistry at the university level(Tertiary level). • Traditionally, problem solving (TPS )as a processhas been presented tostudents by the teacherdoing problems, in effect showing them how to do certain types of “hard” problems, and then assigning similar problems for students to practice. Students will reach conceptual understanding through sufficient practice of problem solving (5).

  3. By repetitive practice on this kind of approach to problem solving: • Many students may develop speed and accuracy for routine problems, but they fail to develop their ability to reflect on what they have done or how to adapt this to solving new—different—problems. • Students solve these routine problems as snapshots without any framework connecting their ideas or even solutions to the context of the problem. • Thisapproach stresses linearity in problem solving, (LPS) and linear thinking; as such, it relies on memorization. • Traditional (Linear) Problem Solving (LPS)is a useful toolto help teachers examine recall of information, comprehension, and application.

  4. Systemic problem solving (SPS): • Helps the students to connect Issues, Facts , and concepts. • E.g. Type of Chemical bonding in compounds, and its relationship to stereochemistry, gives rise to certain physical properties(e.g., dipole moment, IR, UV, NMR, MS,…), as well as chemical properties • SPScanchallengestudentsandprobehigher cognitive skills like analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.

  19. By using (SPS), we expect from our students in organic chemistry to: - Produce systemic solutions for any complex chemical problem. - Enhance their problem solving ability. • Monitor the changes in the prediction of physical and chemical • properties of different kinds of compounds obtained from the • same or different kinds of problems • . • Make maximum connections between, compounds, and their • properties. - Recognize their own cognitive level in chemistry by problem solving. • Recognize the patterns of chemical and physical changes via • problem solving.
