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.

learning outcomes
Knowledge
to differentiate between the concepts of RVP and ŠVP and use the acquired knowledge in planning chemistry teaching at secondary school
to demonstrate the prerequisites for the analysis of specific general and inorganic chemistry material and use the results of the analysis to prepare a teaching unit
to be proficient in general and inorganic chemistry at secondary school level
Skills
to apply an effective methodology for the preparation and implementation of chemistry lessons focusing on general and inorganic chemistry
to support teaching by including two-dimensional and three-dimensional teaching aids specific for teaching general and inorganic chemistry
to use a data projector or other didactic technology to increase the effectiveness of the chemistry teaching process
to demonstrate mastery of basic methods and procedures (verbal, demonstration, practice, repetition, methods of independent and group work, etc.) in the didactic transformation of the general and inorganic chemistry curriculum
to implement specific approaches in the presentation of general and inorganic chemistry in class, group and individual work in lessons and laboratory exercises
to apply strategies in chemistry instruction that contribute to formative assessment of students in order to respond to necessary adjustments in instruction to meet students' needs
reflect on teaching, analyse it and, where necessary, look for ways to make positive changes
