Scope
Books in the Series may review developments in areas of chemistry education internationally or may report on a single educational context where the work has clear international significance; may cover formal education, informal education, teacher education/development or public understanding of chemistry; and may cover innovations in chemical education practice where suitable evidence of research-based evaluation is included.
Possible volume themes
Topics covered could include
- Learners’ thinking about and understanding of chemistry topics
- Approaches to teaching chemistry and chemistry topics
- The use of technology in chemistry teaching and learning
- Assessment of learning in chemistry education
