Prerequisites:
None
Academic preconditions:
Students taking the course are expected to:
- Have knowledge of general chemistry , physical chemistry, inorganic chemistry and organic chemistry
Course introduction
To provide the students with experimental and educational skills that enable teaching chemistry.
The course builds on the knowledge acquired in the courses at the Bachelor's degree or equivalent education.
In relation to the competence profile of the degree it is the explicit focus of the course to:
- Give the competence to plan and implement chemical experiments for teaching
Expected learning outcome
The learning objective of the course is that the student demonstrates the ability to:
- carry out chemical experiments for teaching after a submitted instruction
- consider the risks of chemical teaching experiments
- to put the experiments educational content into perspective
- explain the high school chemistry teaching with regard to curricula, levels and textbooks.
Subject overview
The course focuses mainly in the preparation and implementation of experiments of general chemistry, inorganic and organic chemistry .
In addition to the preparation and implementation of experiments we will work with:
- Performing a student experiment / how to write a report on the high school level?
- Using data collection
- A day with microscale experiments
Literature
- Haagensen & Parbo: Kemiske demonstrationsforsøg.
- Håndbog: Risikovejledningen Fysik, Astronomi og Kemi.
- Håndbog: Liste over farlige stoffer, Miljøstyrelsen..
Website
This course uses e-learn (blackboard).
Prerequisites for participating in the exam
None
Assessment and marking:
- Oral exam graded according to the 7-scale. External censorship.
Expected working hours
The teaching method is based on three phase model.
Skills training phase: 50 hours, hereof:
- Laboratory exercises: 50 hours
I træningsfasen arbejdes med laboratorieøvelser. De studerende arbejder med udførelse og præsentation af undervisningsforsøg og giver hinanden respons.
Hele kurset er laboratorieøvelser. Der vil hovedsageligt blive lavet demonstrationsøvelser, men også nogle elevforsøg. Forsøgene er i de emner, der er kernestof i gymnasiet. De studerende skal både følge givne vejledninger og selv finde forsøg. Der vil blive givet respons fra underviser og de øvrige studerende. I studiefasen forbereder de studerende sig på demonstrationsøvelserne og senere på den mundtlige eksamen.Skills training phase: 50 hours, hereof:
- Laboratory exercises: 50 hours
Educational activities
In the skills training phase the students works with performance and presentation of chemical experiments for teaching. The students comment on each other’s presentation.Educational form
The entire course is laboratory exercises. The students will mainly perform demonstration experiments but also some student experiments.
The experiments are the topics that are in the curriculum in high school. The students get feedback from the teacher and the other students.In the study phase the students are supposed to prepare for the demonstration experiments and later for the oral examination.
