Abstract

Editor's comments

In this article professor Keith Taber discusses about the chemistry triplet model, also known as Johnstone's triangle. The model has been introduced already in 1982, and is today one of the most cited frameworks in chemistry education research. In this article, the model is analysed via current understanding of chemistry learning.
