THE USE OF “PERSONAL RESPONSE SYSTEMS” (CLICKERS) FOR TEACHING ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY

Resum

The “Personal Remote Systems” (PRS) or “clickers” are digital units that hand on to the professor’s computer the students answers to multiple choice questions projected in a screen in real time. These new devices can be used either anonymously or even assigned to a specific student to evaluate the previous knowledge, to check what they have understood during class allowing an immediate feedback or to do the exams.

In this work, the results of the use of PRS as a complementary teaching tool in five different subjects of analytical chemistry are presented. The study was performed in three different courses of the degree in Chemistry given in the University of the Basque Country.
