Sažetak
Due to numerous abstract terms and contents of mathematical nature, students often regard chemistry as a difficult school subject (Taber, 2002). According to Johnstone (1984), the scientific nature itself makes chemistry unapproachable. However, difficulties entice both traditional teaching methods, as well as learning methods (Taber, 2002). According to the Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) (Sweller, 1988), information processing and knowledge acquisition are limited with work memory capacity. Not only does the work memory have to accommodate information received, but at the same time, it also needs to have enough space for their processing. When the requirements exceed the work memory capacity, overload ensues, and understanding of the subject matter drastically decreases (Alam, Zaman & Khan, 2014). A more efficient linkage of new information with the existing knowledge, and consequent decrease of work memory overload, is achieved with increasing the preknowledge level by application of prelecture activities (PLAs). In the Croatian education system, there are no relevant researches which refer to the importance of using PLAs with the goal to reduce students’ cognitive overload. Although significant researches indicate the advantages of these activities, it is important to determine with empirical findings their suitability for implementation into our education system. The focus of this study is to investigate the use of novel, web-based prelecture materials in chemistry classes at Croatian secondary schools in order to determine how they can be both designed and implemented into real classroom situations to reduce students’ cognitive overload.
