Chemistry Education

Chemistry education (or chemical education) is a comprehensive term that refers to the study of the teaching and learning of chemistry in all schools, colleges and universities. Topics in chemistry education might include understanding how students learn chemistry, how best to teach chemistry, and how to improve learning outcomes by changing teaching methods and appropriate training of chemistry instructors, within many modes, including classroom lecture, demonstrations, and laboratory activities. There is a constant need to update the skills of teachers engaged in teaching chemistry, and so chemistry education speaks to this need.

JOURNAL REFLECTION: WEEK 11


JOURNAL REFLECTION: WEEK 10


WEEK 10: 27/04/2013
We learned Microsoft Excel today. Besides  the normal function of Excel which is to key in data systematically, we were taught how to organize data and apply calculations. This will help us in measuring students’ achievements in examinations or quiz. We are able to type as large data as we want, and calculations can be simplified by using certain equations. This class was a little confusing for me. I hope this lesson on Excel will be conducted again.

WEEK 8: 13/04/2013
As planned, we learned two more softwares today which are Preezi and Advanced Microsoft PowerPoint. Both of these softwares can be used to enhance our presentations. Normal presentations maybe too conventional and boring which indirectly hinders focus and attention from students. As an educator, we can use both these softwares to create an interactive presentation. Personally I have used Preezi in creating multimedia module as you can view in the link below.


Preezi contains customized presentations where we just have to add the details we want.

Advanced Microsoft PowerPoint allows us to apply features to its extent such as creating puzzles and many more. However , lesson on Advance Microsoft PowerPoint was really confusing for me and I was unable to follow the lesson.
