Experimental class

The aim of this working group is to promote and strengthen experimental teaching.
At the founding meeting, suggestions were made on the following main areas of work:

 

1. Significance and significance of experimental teaching in chemistry for the successful transfer of competencies (specialist knowledge - acquisition of knowledge - communication - assessment).
2. Contribution of problem-oriented and experimental chemistry lessons to the development of general, rational judgment.
3. Presentation of different approaches in university studies for teaching staff to impart experimentation skills / possibilities for optimization and harmonization.
4. Creation of a catalog for assessing potential hazards when carrying out school experiments.

Terminology and symbolism in chemical education

In chemical education and also in the training of chemistry teachers, one repeatedly comes across situations in which technical terms and the symbols used are the cause of communication problems. The aim of this working group is to conduct a technical and didactic discussion of existing terminologies and symbols that can be difficult factors for understanding chemistry. In the interplay of specialists from the various fields of chemistry and chemical engineering, chemistry didactics and chemistry teachers, information and recommendations for teacher training in chemistry, the design of university textbooks and school books as well as curricula and framework specifications for chemical education are to be derived.
