Abstract

The study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of 3D molecular models for drawing structures of aliphatic hydrocarbons at Wiawso College of Education in the Western North Region of Ghana. The research design was Quasi experimental, Purposive sampling technique was used to select all the sixty-five(65) students in the second-year science class. The main instruments used in the collection of the data were tests and questionnaire. The scores obtained from the use ofchalk board illustrations and3D molecular modelswere analysed usinginferential statistics.The results obtained from the statistical analysis showed that there was significant difference instudents’ performance in the use of chalk board illustrations and 3D molecular models.The analysis of the questionnaire showed that students generally appreciated the use of the 3D molecular models in the drawing structures of aliphatic hydrocarbons. Further research is also needed on the topic; specially to investigate the incorporation of computer-generated structures to enhance teaching and learning at Colleges of Education in Ghana
