Course content
1. Selected concepts of didactics (application, integration, communication, information-communication, methodological). 2. Scientific research in chemistry didactics (methods and focus). 3. Psychogenetic laws of pupil's cognition in chemistry teaching. 4. Concept maps limits and possibilities of application in chemistry teaching, structuring and feedback functions. 5. History of the development of the chemistry textbook, the concept of textbooks, working with the textbook as part of the contribution to literacy. 6. Pupil learning styles and the teaching of chemistry. 7. Pupil-centred teaching (pupil activation through objectives, curriculum, tasks, methods, assessment). 8. Pupil motivation in chemistry lessons I principles and implementation. 9. Pupil motivation in chemistry II and history of chemistry. Motivation by experiment. 10. Modelling in chemistry teaching. 11. Selected aspects of visualization of chemistry curriculum. 12. Reflection of chemistry teaching and self-reflection of the chemistry teacher. 13. Hospitalization in teaching chemistry as a special type of professional reflection on teaching. The content of this discipline is designed as a programmatic superstructure to the course Propedeutics of Chemistry Teaching. It is an extension of the curriculum, thematically linked to the introductory parts of didactics of chemistry of general orientation. The intention is to use student support in its presentation in the form of experience gained in teaching practice.

prerequisite
Knowledge
to be oriented in the issue of student-learning relations and to concretise them to the topic of chemistry at the lower and upper secondary school level, or at the vocational secondary school
to build on the knowledge acquired in the study of directly related disciplines (RHV, PVCH, DI1SŠ, DI2SŠ, TD2SŠ, etc.) in the study of this subject
to apply knowledge from pedagogy, psychology, human biology and professional chemistry disciplines to the didactic transformation of the chemistry curriculum and use it in the framework of post-secondary studies of chemistry didactics
Skills
to apply the acquired knowledge and skills in the preparation of a lesson
to demonstrate the ability to incorporate two- and three-dimensional aids into class preparation, didactic techniques to increase the effectiveness of the teaching process
to master the basic methods of work (verbal, demonstration, practice, repetition, independent and group work, ...)
to acquire the methodology of preparation and implementation of chemistry lessons using the knowledge of pedagogy, psychology, human biology, didactics and specialized subjects
to apply the conclusions from the diagnosis of the practical concept of teaching in the preparation and implementation of the lesson
