A Systematic Review of the Teaching and Learning of Quantum Mechanics: Implications for Mathematics Instruction and Research on Undergraduate Mathematics Education
Page: 995
In this work, we review the literature on the teaching and learning of quantum mechanics situated in chemistry courses with the aim to provide a tool for education researchers and practitioners. We found that much of the research on quantum mechanics in the chemistry context involves students at the secondary level of instruction. Along with this, much of the research leans on mathematics and physics education research to support the claim that students have difficulties with mathematics; however, these claims require further investigation within chemistry education research.
