Study and validation of a learning progression on chemical kinetics of higher education students

This work aims to study the learning progression of students from two federal universities in Rio de Janeiro within the scope of Chemical Kinetics. For the elaboration of the research questionnaire, 46 professors from eleven Brazilian universities were consulted and from the collected data, a questionnaire was elaborated and applied to 452 students of Pharmacy, Chemistry and Chemical Engineering courses at Universidade Federal Fluminense and Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. For the analysis of the questionnaires, Rasch modelling was used, which made it possible to elaborate the learning progression of these students.

Keywords:
