Central page of subject didactics

 

Here you will find interdisciplinary didactic teaching and learning research and practical didactic concepts. On this page you will find all information about our chemistry didactics courses (Module 3, Module 7, Module 13) as well as various cooperation projects of the working groups AG Hornung and AG Seibert. Additional information for students and chemistry teachers about the student laboratory CLeVerLAB and the teacher training courses offered as well as the didactics colloquium are also provided on the page.

Apl. Prof. Dr. G. Hornung

The didactics of chemistry - AG Hornung deals with the planning, implementation and evaluation of teaching and learning processes for chemistry lessons. At the heart of teaching is the experiment as the core of scientific knowledge acquisition and the question of how experimental teaching can be optimized through the use of digital media. Research focuses on reflective teaching-learning guidance and the integration of this into the professionalization process of prospective teachers, the development of digital teaching materials for heterogeneous learning groups and suitable teacher training courses.

Prof. Dr. J.-N. Seibert

The Seibert working group is primarily concerned with determining the conditions for successful self-regulated learning in the subject of chemistry. In particular, didactic and methodological aspects of research-based learning, digitalization and education for sustainable development are investigated in the CLeVerLAB student laboratory, suitable teaching-learning environments are developed for promotion and transferred to society through modern science communication. The teaching activities of the AG Seibert are primarily in the field of professionalization of (prospective) chemistry teachers. The aim is to generate an open teaching and learning culture within the framework of chemistry didactics, in which, among other things, the integration of digital aspects and aspects of education for sustainable development leads to a stronger development of subject-related, interdisciplinary and at the same time digitization-related skills. This goes hand in hand with the participatory integration of current didactic research focal points into the university education and training of teachers.
