Contributions on active learning of chemistry

Abstract

TThis paper summarizes ideas about the active learning of Chemistry. This concept, which has been the object of debate for many decades at pre-university levels, has been extensively discussed since the beginning of this century for the university level in European countries, promoted by the renowned "Bologna Process". This paper summarizes the presentations that were the focus of an international conference of physical and chemical education specialists, held in Madrid in July 2007, on "Active learning in physics and chemistry". A product of this conference was the edition of a book of proceedings, including 58 works by 146 authors.
