Focus and offer of the centers

The focus of the work of the teacher training centers is the development and realization of an attractive range of internal and external courses from all areas of chemistry, tailored to the curricula of the federal states.

The advanced training program includes courses for all school levels and types in chemistry as well as general studies in primary school.

The GDCh commission for teacher training regularly evaluates the work of the centers and develops focal points according to current requirements.

The key issues considered important by the Commission are:

 

• Sustainability in chemical education
• chemistry and life sciences
• Modern materials and materials
• Teaching and learning concepts in chemical education
• Educational standards/curricula
• Chemical concepts - yesterday, today, tomorrow
• Early science education
• Safety in chemical education
• Digitization in chemistry - industry and education

The offer of the training centers is expanded by so-called tandem events, in which, in cooperation with companies, speaker from industry, e.g. from research or production, report on current developments. At the same time, there is a didactic preparation for everyday school life. This means that events with particularly up-to-date and practical content can be offered.
