- Prerequisites
- It is expected that the student went through all the basic chemical disciplines (mainly general, physical, organic and anorganic chemistry and biochemistry) in the extend usual usual for this type of study. Optional is a basic knowledge of pedagogical psychology and didactics.
- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.

- Upper Secondary School Teacher Training in Chemistry (programme PřF, M-SS)
- 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.
- Syllabus
- A General didactics P1 What is educations in chemistry ? Its intersdiciplinarity. 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. Diagnostical 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 gymnasium 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.
- Assessment methods (in Czech)
- Kurs je kompozicí 14 dvouhodinových přednášek. Předmět je zakončen zkouškou složenou z části písemné a ústní. Písemná část je třicetiminutový test 30 otázek s výběrovými odpověďmi ze středoškolské chemie. Úspěšné zvládnutí testu je nutnou podmínkou k absolvování ústní zkoušky. Při ní student obdrží po jedné otázce z obecné a speciální didaktiky.
