Course content
1. Differences in the concept of teaching in primary and secondary schools, general principles of curriculum analysis. 2. Substances, mixtures, chemical substances, heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures, solutions. 3. Structure of the atom, concept of learning, structure of the electron shell. 4. Periodic system, periodic law, history of the development of the periodic system. 5. Chemical bonding, types of bonding, bond polarity, weak bonding interactions. 6. Chemical symbolism, binary compounds, nomenclature of oxides. 7. Hydrogen, oxygen, water, water as a solvent. 8. Solutions, composition of solutions, mass and volume fraction, molar concentration. 9. Acids and bases, ionic product of water, pH value. 10. Salts, formation of salts, hydrogensols, salt hydrates. 11. Computational problems in chemistry, calculations from formulae and equations. 12. Oxidation-reduction processes, calculation of coefficients, electrolysis, galvanic cells and batteries, fuel cells. 13. S-element, p-element, d and f-element, general model of didactic transformation. The content of the course largely analyzes the basic structural components of the general and inorganic chemistry curriculum. These components, which correspond nomenclaturally to the structure of professional chemistry, should be considered primarily from a didactic perspective; possible systems for their effective transmission are analyzed in lectures and seminars, including prerequisites for reflecting on teaching and subsequent evaluation of their quality. An important part of the course is a detailed reflection on tests on given topics (or appropriately chosen teaching tasks included in them) written by students in seminars towards the development of their evaluation and self-evaluation skills in teaching practice.

prerequisite
Knowledge
to be well known in the subject of his/her specialisation, in particular general and inorganic chemistry
to master the issues of pedagogical-psychological disciplines
to cover the basic knowledge of human biology
to have computer and internet skills
Skills
to apply the skills acquired in the study of educational psychology disciplines in the preparation of a lesson
to demonstrate the ability to effectively interpret two- and three-dimensional aids in the classroom and to use didactic technology for this purpose
to use the basic methods of work acquired during the study to design a lesson (verbal, demonstration, practical, basic methods to practice the material, repetition, etc.)
to use the skills acquired during the study of Propedeutics of Chemistry Didactics to prepare and implement a chemistry lesson
Competences
N/A
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
