Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The course offers a comprehensive introduction to the approaches, ways, and methods of chemistry education research. It aims to support students in theoretically and methodologically designing their own research project for the master’s thesis and in planning how they will conduct it. As part of the course, participants will prepare a thesis proposal (exposé), which will subsequently be submitted for official registration. The course is structured to alternate between methodological input phases, discussions, and working sessions, thereby fostering both the acquisition of foundational knowledge and the independent development and reflection of project ideas.
