Chemistry education investigates fundamental processes of the teaching and learning of chemistry with research questions ranging from introductory school lessons to higher education.

The Professorship of Chemistry Education at TUM particularly focuses on diagnosing, developing, and fostering scientific reasoning and inquiry, e.g., how experimental work in chemistry teaching and learning relates to problem solving processes. In this regard, developing and evaluating in-classroom materials complements professional development for pre-service and in-service teachers, emphasizing the interplay of chemical content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge. The group’s projects include both basic research on teaching and learning in the subject matter and application-oriented development research. Specific information about individual projects can be found in the research section.

We offer a wide range of opportunities to explore interesting topics for Bachelor's and Master's theses, examination for teacher education (Zulassungsarbeiten), and doctoral theses. Feel free to contact the Chemistry Education staff.
