Participatory Action Research in chemical education

Period: 01.02.1999 - 31.12.2019
Project management: Prof. Dr. Ingo Eilks
Financing: Förderung durch den Fonds der chemischen Industrie (FCI) im Programm 'Lehrer kooperieren'
Cooperation: Prof. Dr. Bernd Ralle (TU Dortmund), Dr. Rachel Mamlok-Naaman (Weizmann Institute of Science, IL)
Members: Prof. Dr. Silvija Markic

Within the project a founded research model has been developed. This model applies Participatory Action Research towards the aims of didactics of chemistry. This means research in a close co-operation of researchers and teachers within authentic classroom practice. The research aims on the development of new teaching concepts and general cognition about teaching and learning chemistry. Done on a founded empirical base and leading back from practice towards empirically based cognition about teaching and learning this approach is considered as being able to close the gaps between research and practice which has been described repeatedly for the field of chemical education. This model is developed further by its application in different projects of research within didactics of chemistry. This aims on questions of organising the process and safeguarding research standards.
