Chemiedidaktik kompakt offers students and trainee chemists practical overview knowledge with many examples from current teaching, with experiments and models, with exercises and school-relevant results of teaching and learning research on each topic.

Introduction to the "pie chart" for chemistry didactics.- Student conceptions.- Motivation.- Teaching objectives.- Media.- Experiments.- Models and model conceptions.- Technical language and symbols.- Everyday life and chemistry.- History of chemistry for student teachers.

This textbook offers lecturers at universities, chemistry teachers at schools, student teachers and chemistry students a practical overview with many examples from current chemistry teaching, with novel experiments and models, with exercises on chemistry didactics and with school-relevant results of teaching and learning research. The authors not only cover the classic topics of chemistry didactics such as teaching objectives, experiments, models, and chemical terminology, but also devote extensive attention to student-related aspects such as student’s misconceptions, chemistry in everyday life, media, and motivation.New in the last German edition are specific concepts on safety and disposal when handling hazardous substances, labeling of each proposed experiment with instructions for safe experimentation. In addition, the chapter on chemical terminology reflects new findings on student perceptions that are due to the so-called laboratory jargon used by lecturers and teachers: imprecise statements of chemical terminology that lead to erroneous perceptions among students due to the mixing of substance-level and particle-level terms. Many examples are used to suggest the correct and unambiguous formulation of such content.The authorsThe authors Prof. Dr. Annette Marohn and Prof. Dr. Simone Kröger have headed the Institute for Didactics of Chemistry at the University of Münster since 2013. They are the successors of the two authors Prof. Dr. Hans-Dieter Barke and Prof. Dr. Günther Harsch, who wrote the original work "Essentials of Chemical Education“ in 2012.The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content.This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

"An easy-to-follow introduction to the didactics of the subject, which very ably addresses all the pitfalls of teaching chemistry, because of which some find chemistry very difficult to understand. Reading this book will inevitably lead to a rethinking of one's own courses, from which lecturers and students alike will benefit."Particularly noteworthy: "That just the above-mentioned "pitfalls" of chemistry are not only addressed in detail, but the reader also receives suggestions up to concrete proposals on how exactly this can be avoided." (Dr. Ulf Ritgen, Applied Natural Sciences, Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences, Rheinbach)
