Special Issue Information

German chemistry didactics is roughly divided into an empirical part for investigating the effectiveness of intervention measures and an experimental-conceptual part, which is very much oriented towards experiments from subject-specific chemistry developments. This includes experiments with nanostructured surfaces, experiments from photochemistry, (spectro) electrochemistry, organic chemistry and spectroscopy.

With this special issue we want to give the readers an overview of the current developments in the experimental-conceptual field of chemistry didactics in Germany.

Special Issue Topics

Topics of Interest:

Electrochemistry, photochemistry, spectroscopy, sustainable development (hydrogen technology), organic chemistry.
