Reference excerpt

Rachel Mamlok-Naaman (Hebrew: רחל ממלק-נעמן) is an academic based in Israel. She specializes in chemistry education.

Education Rachel Mamlok-Naaman received a BSc in chemistry at Hebrew University in 1966, a MA in science education at Bar-Ilan University in 1992, and a PhD in science education Bar-Ilan University in 1998. She conducted post-doctoral research with John Penick at North Carolina State University and with Joe Krajcik at University of Michigan.

Career

Prior to obtaining her doctorate degree, Mamlok-Naaman was a high school chemistry teacher for 26 years. She is a faculty member of Department of Science Teaching at the Weizmann Institute of Science. She was the head of National Center for Chemistry Teachers at the Weizmann Institute of Science from 1996 to 2016 and from 2018 to 2020. Her research in chemistry education included topics on misconceptions in learning in chemistry, sustainability in chemistry education, profession development of educators, and gender gap. She participates in a number of past and current International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry projects, including the project on "The Gender Gap in Chemistry – Building on the ISC Gender Gap Project" and "Design for International Standards for Chemistry Education". Mamlok-Naaman is the chair of the European Chemical Society Division of Chemical Education, and a member of International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry Committee on Chemistry Education. She serves as vice editor-in-chief of Chemistry Teacher International. She also serves on the editorial board of International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, Eurasia Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, and Journal of Innovations in Teaching and Learning; and on the editorial advisory board of Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society Section C: Chemical Education, and Chemistry Education: Research and Practice in Europe.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Rachel Mamlok-Naaman

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Rachel Mamlok-Naaman claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Rachel Mamlok-Naaman before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Rachel Mamlok-Naaman ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Rachel Mamlok-Naaman

In research: Rachel Mamlok-Naaman appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Rachel Mamlok-Naaman in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Rachel Mamlok-Naaman is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Academic staff of Weizmann Institute of Science, Bar-Ilan University alumni, Hebrew University of Jerusalem alumni, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Rachel Mamlok-Naaman outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
