Download or read book Innovative Methods of Teaching and Learning Chemistry in Higher Education written by Ingo Eilks and published by Royal Society of Chemistry. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two recent initiatives from the EU, namely the Bologna Process and the Lisbon Agenda are likely to have a major influence on European Higher Education. It seems unlikely that traditional teaching approaches, which supported the elitist system of the past, will promote the mobility, widened participation and culture of 'life-long learning' that will provide the foundations for a future knowledge-based economy. There is therefore a clear need to seek new approaches to support the changes which will inevitably occur. The European Chemistry Thematic Network (ECTN) is a network of some 160 university chemistry departments from throughout the EU as well as a number of National Chemical Societies (including the RSC) which provides a discussion forum for all aspects of higher education in chemistry. This handbook is a result of one of their working groups, who identified and collated good practice with respect to innovative methods in Higher Level Chemistry Education. It provides a comprehensive overview of innovations in university chemistry teaching from a broad European perspective. The generation of this book through a European Network, with major national chemical societies and a large number of chemistry departments as members make the book unique. The wide variety of scholars who have contributed to the book, make it interesting and invaluable reading for both new and experienced chemistry lecturers throughout the EU and beyond. The book is aimed at chemistry education at universities and other higher level institutions and at all academic staff and anyone interested in the teaching of chemistry at the tertiary level. Although newly appointed teaching staff are a clear target for the book, the innovative aspects of the topics covered are likely to prove interesting to all committed chemistry lecturers.

Download or read book Metacognition in Science Education written by Anat Zohar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-20 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is metacognition gaining recognition, both in education generally and in science learning in particular? What does metacognition contribute to the theory and practice of science learning? Metacognition in Science Education discusses emerging topics at the intersection of metacognition with the teaching and learning of science concepts, and with higher order thinking more generally. The book provides readers with a background on metacognition and analyses the latest developments in the field. It also gives an account of best-practice methodology. Expanding on the theoretical underpinnings of metacognition, and written by world leaders in metacognitive research, the chapters present cutting-edge studies on how various forms of metacognitive instruction enhance understanding and thinking in science classrooms. The editors strive for conceptual coherency in the various definitions of metacognition that appear in the book, and show that the study of metacognition is not an end in itself. Rather, it is integral to other important constructs, such as self-regulation, literacy, the teaching of thinking strategies, motivation, meta-strategies, conceptual understanding, reflection, and critical thinking. The book testifies to a growing recognition of the potential value of metacognition to science learning. It will motivate science educators in different educational contexts to incorporate this topic into their ongoing research and practice.

Für die entsprechende unterrichtliche Gestaltung spielen die Vorstellungen der Lehrkräfte über Naturwissenschaften eine entscheidende Rolle und anwendbares Meta-Wissen gilt als zu erreichende Qualifikation im Lehramtsstudium. Im vorliegenden Forschungsprojekt wird im Rahmen von qualitativen Studien erhoben, welche Vorstellungen Lehramtsstudierende über `Chemie als Naturwissenschaft' besitzen und wie die Studierenden unterstützt werden können, ein fundiertes Verständnis zu entwickeln und dieses praktisch zu transformieren. Auf Grundlage der Ergebnisse wird ein Modul für die Lehrerbildung entwickelt, das den Weg bereitet, authentisch (über) Chemie zu unterrichten. An adequate understanding about science represents one key component of scientific literacy. Teachers' conceptions about science play a crucial role for the design of appropriate lessons and applicable meta-knowledge is considered as a qualification to be achieved during university teacher education. In this thesis, qualitative studies are conducted to evaluate which pre-conceptions about `chemistry as a science' teacher students possess and how students can be supported in developing an informed understanding as well as in practically transforming it. On the basis of the results a module for teacher education is developed which paves the way for authentic chemistry teaching.
