Organic chemistry is often perceived as one of the most challenging subjects in undergraduate science curricula, largely due to the complexity of reaction mechanisms. This paper explores instructional strategies designed to enhance students’ comprehension and retention of reaction mechanisms. By integrating active learning techniques, technology-enhanced tools, and cognitive science principles, the paper outlines evidence-based methods that promote deeper understanding and long-term retention of organic chemistry concepts. Recommendations for curriculum design and teaching practices are provided, supported by empirical studies and classroom implementations.<\/span><\/p>

Chemistry education is spatio-visual based, especially organic chemistry is often perceived as one of the most challenging subjects in undergraduate science curricula, largely due to the complexity of reaction mechanisms. This study explores instructional strategies designed to enhance students’ comprehension and retention of reaction mechanisms. Integration of active learning techniques, technology-enhanced tools, and cognitive science principles,\u00a0 not only enhance the retention but also strengthen the conceptual framework of chemical concepts. This study provide insights in chemical education to chemistry educators.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
