Analysis of pre-service chemistry teachers' success and failure in solving multicomponent tasks with problematic elements
2020
Abstract
Students' ability to solve problem tasks is seen by the OECD as a key aspect of education. Research results (e.g.
PISA) indicate significant reserves of Czech students in this area. The possible cause is the lack of development of these abilities in schools.
The active role of the teacher is crucial. However, if a teacher should develop these students' skills, they must possess skills developed themselves.
The researches realized with in- or pre-service teachers are often quantitative. However, the use of modern methods allows to identify more accurate procedures, strategies and problems.
This knowledge can lead to improvement and better preparation of pre-service teacher training. So far, such research is missing in scholarly literature.
