Course content
1. Didactics of organic chemistry and biochemistry, general principles of curriculum transformation. 2. Hydrocarbons, characteristics of types of hydrocarbons, saturated, unsaturated and aromatic hydrocarbons. 3. Oil, natural gas, coal - not only sources of hydrocarbons. 4. Nomenclature of organic compounds, branched chain hydrocarbons. 5. Hydrocarbon derivatives, overview of derivatives, oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur derivatives. 6. Alcohols, composition, structure, properties, overview, formation and effects on the human body. 7. Macromolecular substances. 8. Natural substances. Carbohydrates. 9. Lipids. 10. Proteins. 11. Other natural substances, fermentation process, enzymes, vitamins, hormones. 12. Subject specific learning. 13. Characteristics and composition of living systems. The content largely analyzes the basic structural components of the organic chemistry and biochemistry curriculum. These components, which correspond in terms of nomenclature to the structure of specialised chemistry, should be considered primarily from a didactic perspective, i.e. possible systems for their effective delivery are analysed in lectures and seminars, including the prerequisites for reflecting on teaching and subsequent evaluation of its quality.

prerequisite
Knowledge
name the stages of teaching, means of teaching and educational methods
apply knowledge of pedagogy, psychology, human biology and chemistry articles to the chemistry didactic issue
the issue of the relationship to student learning and set and the chemical aspect and on the lower level of secondary school
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 practise learning, repetition, etc.)
to use the skills acquired during the study of Propedeutics of Chemistry Didactics to prepare and implement a chemistry lesson
learning outcomes
Knowledge
to differentiate between the concepts of RVP and SPP and use the acquired knowledge in planning chemistry teaching at secondary school
to demonstrate an aptitude for the analysis of specific organic chemistry and biochemistry material and use the results of the analysis to prepare a teaching unit
to be proficient in organic chemistry and biochemistry at secondary school level
Skills
to apply an effective methodology for the preparation and implementation of chemistry lessons with a focus on organic chemistry and biochemistry
to support teaching by including two-dimensional and three-dimensional aids specific for teaching organic chemistry and biochemistry in the classroom
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, independent and group methods, work, etc.) for the didactic transformation of the organic chemistry and biochemistry curriculum
to implement specific approaches in the presentation of organic chemistry and biochemistry 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
the ability to reflect on teaching, analyse it and, if necessary, look for ways to make positive changes
