The course takes up the founding nodes of the chemical discipline reflecting on the problems related to their learning / teaching. The contents of the course will be treated in an educational way, highlighting how the problematic and laboratory approach can favor the learning process with respect to traditional teaching. The course will present examples of significant educational courses.

Further information
Type of Assessment
Oral exam on the course topics and in particular on the didactic courses examined. Exhibition of a significant educational path.
Course program
Notes on learning theories, with particular reference to chemistry. The ministerial guidelines; Chemistry in science; Examples of training paths (solutions and their properties, acids, bases and salts etc.). In the context of the various training courses, reference will be made to examples in which chemistry is transversal to other disciplines.
