Students' perceptions of the roles of the teacher and the student and the effect on classroom interaction

Much research in the past several years indicates that many students have conceptions about chemical principles that are inconsistent with scientifically accepted ideas. Much of this research ignores students' perceptions of the roles of the teacher and the student and neglects the affect of the classroom setting on students' learning. In constructivist theory students are said to construct their own understandings of scientific principles. It would seem reasonable, then, that students construct their own understandings of the purposes of education, and of the goals of the tasks set for them.
