Course content
1. Selected concepts of field didactics (application, integration, communication, information-communication, methodological) 2. Scientific Research in Didactics of Chemistry (methods and scope) 3. Psychogenetic patterns of pupil learning methodology in chemistry teaching 4. Conceptual maps and teaching of chemistry, textbooks of chemistry 5. History of textbook development, concepts of textbooks, work with the textbook as part of a contribution to reading literacy 6. Styles of pupils learning and teaching chemistry 7. Student-oriented teaching (pupil activation through goals, subjects, tasks, methods, evaluation) 8. Motivation of the pupil in the class of chemistry I - principles and realization 9. Motivation of the student in the class of chemistry II and the history of chemistry 10. Chemical experiment as motivation factor, natural science paradox 11. Selected aspects of visualization of chemistry 12. Hospitals and chemistry teaching 13. Self-reflection of a chemistry teacher This subject follows the courses of KPG and KPS and is also connected with the special subjects KPG Special Pedagogy for Teachers and KPS Pedagogical Psychology for Elementary Schools, whose general knowledge is applied to didactics of chemistry. In the seminar there is preparation for KCH / PP Output Practice (patterns of preparation of written preparations, outline of possible variants of output hours on given topics, training of individual phases of lesson, students' outcomes). After graduation, the analysis and reflection of the experiences of the individual students takes place.
