636-Advanced Topics in the Teaching and Learning in Chemistry |
This course will attempt to implement some of the topics presented in the previous education and chemistry courses of the MCE program in typical high school chemistry classrooms. This information will be presented to students using a teaching method informed by the knowledge of how students learn as presented in the MCE education courses. In order to make the knowledge gained in this course meaningful to the participants, a joint research project will be planned and executed to examine the effects on students of implementing a new approach to teaching chemistry. Therefore, the goal of this course is to use the knowledge already gained in the MCE program to implement a research project that will have meaningful results in the participants’ school community. This course is designed as a collaboration between experts —chemical education (course staff) and teaching (participants) experts. Each member of the course is considered a full participant in the direction and results of the course.
