The module's effectiveness in improving learning outcomes
Research gap analysis derived from 3 education papers in our local library.
The gap
The module's effectiveness in improving learning outcomes is demonstrated, but there is no comparison with alternative instructional approaches or traditional chemistry teaching methods to establish relative effectiveness.
Evidence profile
Sourced from the limitations of the source papers, classified as methodology gap, drawn from work published between 2019 and 2024, spanning 3 journals. Those papers have been cited 17 times in total.

The assessment of the teaching intervention lacks a control group (all students were exposed to the intervention), preventing comparative analysis of the effectiveness of systems thinking and sustainability content integration against traditional general chemistry instruction methods.

The paper explicitly excluded analysis of teacher professional development strategies and in-service training models required for implementing inquiry-based chemistry curricula. Research is needed to identify which specific professional development approaches effectively prepare chemistry teachers to transition from traditional laboratory activities to inquiry-type laboratories that embed higher-order cognitive skills.
