Learn and Teach Chemistry: Based on UNESCO ICT initiatives

Chemistry touches our lives and influences our activities in so many ways that its is often called the central science. Being a central science, the study of chemistry is a gateway to a whole range of careers in the sciences and health professions. All citizens in a modern technological society need basic knowledge of chemistry and the rest of science, to make informed decisions ad participate in local and national debates. Today, learning chemistry is highly demanding, perhaps more than any other science subjects. More and more jobs in industry and life sciences require training in chemistry. However, most students perceive it as one of most difficult subject, because it consists of lots of complicated concepts and calculations. To meet with these demands, and to lead students through the complex array of concepts and to finally construct an integrated system of knowledge, the instructor should use new and innovative teaching strategies. This book provides information about a variety o successful learning and teaching practices of chemistry. It gives teachers the practical help needed to integrate modern technologies into their teaching and stimulate the enthusiasm of a new generation of scientists in the exciting new areas of chemistry that are opening up. Designed on the basis of UNESCO ICT initiatives, this book will be an ideal references work for practicing teachers, trainee teachers, and university lecturers of chemistry.
