This study focuses on the perceived problems in using microscale chemistry experimentation in teaching General Chemistry course by the participant teachers of the "Workshop on Microscale Chemistry" last October 19-21, 2009. The self-made questionnaire includes perceived problems in using microscale chemistry experimentation in terms of materials/resource, values and skills and results of the experiments. Most of the participants agreed on the presented problems in the questionnaire since 13 items out of 15 have a mean value of 2.55-3.32, e.g. they agreed that materials/resources are not readily available and its precision and accuracy are difficult to attain.
