Chemical Education

CHEMICAL EDUCATION, an interdisciplinary field initiated in the late 1970s refers to study of various dimensions/issues related to teaching and learning of chemistry. Though young, as compared to other established branches of chemistry, it has been contributing significantly towards teaching and learning of chemistry from elementary to university level. From its inception, the field, has been undergoing major changes across the world and chemistry teachers need to take cognizance of these changes, and adopt them suitably. Chemistry is a fundamental science, which touches all aspects of human life and greatly contributes to human development. Hence, chemistry education needs to be considered seriously. The book exposes chemistry teachers to issues related to assessment and evaluation, problem solving and learning and assessment in chemistry laboratories, new teaching methodologies involving co- operative learning, and e-materials and their use.
