- Course objectives
- The subject is composed of two parts, general and the special one, more oriented to chemistry itself. The first part is oriented to the contents of the subject matter and its structure, mathematical models used in its analysis, algorithmic a heuristic subject matter. The methods used in chemistry teaching are also discussed. A special attention is paid to the diagnostic methods, especially tests, and also to the computer applications in chemistry teaching. At the end of the first part, psychological aspects of chemistry teaching are discussed, especially creativity. In the second part, approaches how to teach selected parts of the high school and college chemistry are discussed. The following are among them: electronic structure of atoms, periodic properties of the elements, chemical bonding, chemical kinetics and equilibrium, thermochemistry, s- and p- elements, general organic chemistry, reaction mechanisms in organic chemistry, basis of the chemistry of the living systems.
- Learning outcomes
- Student will exhibit a wide view of chemistry teaching at the level of gymnasium and similar type of schools.
- Syllabus
- A: General didactics P1 - What is educations in chemistry? Its interdiciplinarity. Methodology of research in education in chemistry. Contents of the subject matter. System approach to analyze contents of matter and its logical structure. P2 - Matter of the algorithmic and heuristic type. Logical operations in chemistry teaching. P3 - Educational technologies. Diagnostic methods. Tests, their classification, statistical analysis and applications. P4 - Technical tools in chemistry teaching. Models, video, computers. P5 - Creativity and motivation in chemistry teaching. B: Special didactics - logic and technology of the following chapters teaching in chemistry at grammar school P6 - Atomic structure and periodic system of elements. P7 - Chemical bond, molecules and crystals. P8 - Chemical kinetics. P9 - Chemical equilibrium and energetics. P10 - General organic chemistry - introduction, isomerism, conformation, configuration, optical activity, reaction mechanism). P11 - Didactics of one class of organic compounds. P12 - Didactics of one biochemically important subject. P13 - Didactics of one main group element.
