Course content
1. Special Methods in Chemistry Education. Teaching Methods in General Chemistry. Differences in the concept of teaching in primary and secondary schools. 2. Substances, chemical substances mixxtures. 3. Structure of the atom. 4. Periodic system, periodic law. 5. Chemical bonding. 6. Chemical reaction. 7. Acids and bases. 8. Oxidation-reduction processes. 9. Teaching Methods in Inorganic Chemistry. Hydrogen, oxygen, water. 10. Salts. 11. Chemical symbolism. Computational problems in chemistry. 12. Solutions, composition of solutions. 13. S-element, p-element, d and f-element, general model of didactic transformation. The course focuses primarily on the analysis of the fundamental structural components of the general and inorganic chemistry curriculum. These components, which correspond to the structure of specialized chemistry, must be assessed primarily from a didactic perspective; thus, both lectures and seminars analyze possible systems for their effective teaching, including the prerequisites for reflecting on instruction and subsequently evaluating its quality. An important part of the course is the reflection on teaching tasks related to specific topics, which supports the development of students' evaluation and self-evaluation skills for their future teaching practice. .
