Chemistry Education Research Group

The Chemistry Education Research Group explores how chemistry is learned, taught, and understood as a scientific discipline. Our research focuses on learners’ engagement, motivation, and agency in diverse educational contexts, from secondary education to university laboratories. We also examine how chemistry education can be connected with sustainability and climate-change education, emphasizing real-world relevance and scientific inquiry.

Our approach is strongly design-oriented, combining theoretical development with the design and evaluation of innovative educational approaches that combine online and inquiry learning. Our goal is to develop solutions that support teachers in providing chemistry education that fosters students’ curiosity, critical thinking, adaptive coping with scientific challenges, and a deeper understanding of the nature of chemistry.
