Annotation

The course is intended for students of the first year of master study of chemistry teaching in two-subject and single-subject. The aim of the course is to acquaint students with various ways of teaching general chemistry, to acquire didactic skills in the controlled process of mastering the chemistry curriculum.

The course is planned as a three-hour block of lectures and exercises, where the theoretical parts are intertwined with the practical ones, where students have space for their own activities, discussion, reflection. The subject is an important preparation for pedagogical practice in the next semester due to its content, when students prepare a smaller or larger sample of a lesson on a chosen topic several times.
