Course content
1. Characteristics of the concept of teaching at elementary school, general principles of curriculum analysis 2. Substances, mixtures, chemicals, mixtures heterogeneous and homogeneous, solutions 3. Construction of atom, valence electrons 4. Periodic system, periodic law, 5. Chemical bond, molecules and ions 6. Chemical symbolism, binary compounds, nomenclature of oxides 7. Hydrogen, oxygen, water, water as a solvent 8. Solutions, composition of solutions, weight fraction 9. Acids and bases, pH value 10. Salts, salt formation, the most famous salt 11. Calculation tasks in chemistry, calculations of formulas and equations 12. Electrolysis, galvanic cells and accumulators, fuel cells 13. Alkali metals, halogens, biogenic elements, general model of didactic transformation This course follows KCH / PVCH, KPG and KPS subjects from the Bachelor's degree program and is related to KPG General Didactics and KPS Pedagogical Psychology A, whose general knowledge is implemented in didactics of chemistry. The seminar prepares for the KCH / NASPN observer practice and after its completion, the evaluation and analysis of the knowledge (positives, negatives in the monitored lessons, the emphasis is put on the reflection of the practical experience).
