Innovating the Teaching of Basic Concepts of Chemical Kinetics Through Analogies

An educational qualitative research project using analogies related to economic aspects of any person receiving a periodic salary and making payments for various reasons, such as acquiring goods, was conducted so students could conceptualize the parameters that determine a kinetic study, such as the initial concentration and the half-life, and understand that its management is experimental. The analogies were applied in samples of students from different disciplinary areas of engineering, and through problem-solving, the efficiency of the analogies used was evaluated with good results, given that they were based on constructivism. © 2023 University of Minho.
