Students' Ability to Apply Mathematical Skills in Chemical Tasks

Publication at Faculty of Science |

Abstract

A complex and interdisciplinary approach in solving problems is a prerequisite for the development of society. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to develop the generally applicable knowledge and skills of students since basic education.

Science education and mathematics provide possibilities for development of these competences. In chemistry, many phenomena and processes cannot be explained simply to the students without the involvement of mathematical apparatus.

Similarly, in mathematics, it is difficult to explain the importance of theoretical approaches without applying experience from common practice, for example, in explaining the structure of chemical substances or chemical calculations. Inquiry-based science education is suitable teaching method for solving the problems mentioned above.
