Many researchers have investigated the effects of students' prior knowledge upon learning chemistry, for example, the tenacity of alternative conceptions. Knowledge about learning also shapes students' learning of chemistry. CHEMX is a survey instrument that measures an aspect of knowledge about learning known as cognitive expectations.

We have adapted previous research in physics education to develop a reliable and valid instrument called CHEMX to measure students’ knowledge about what they will be expected to do to learn chemistry, namely, their cognitive expectations for learning chemistry. CHEMX can detect gaps between faculty expectations for learning and those of students, as well as measure changes in students’ cognitive expectations across the chemistry curriculum, as well as across a diverse group of institutions.
