MISCONCEPTIONS ON BASIC STOICHIOMETRY AMONG THE SELECTED ELEVENTH-GRADE STUDENTS IN THE URBAN REGIONS OF THE GAMBIA

The study complements previous research on a case of chemistry lesson plans design and teaching. It has been found that education in Gambia challenged by ineffective teaching, laboratory resources. consequences have unsatisfactory learning outcomes. However, what could lead to outcomes if basic stoichiometry is considered challenging? This led the present develop survey method assess students' misconceptions stoichiometry. Through systematic random sampling technique, 285-grade eleventh students were selected. topics covered included interpreting pH common substances, balancing stoichiometric equations, inferences experimental results. Students’ responses misconception questions reviewed analysed. results indicated be taught some principles Students who correct from need their knowledge better. Accordingly, concluded can indicate success introducing stoichiometry, including referencing lower grades, rather than secondary grades. Nevertheless, this recommend was examine possible source cause such concerning reactions balancing. Keywords: chemical reactions, values interpretation, students’
