Simultaneously, researchers and educators from western Europe and the US proclaim the formative assessment (FA) as an important element of the educational process and advise including it into curricula and everyday teachers’ practice. The research presented herein reports an introduction of formative assessment classroom techniques (FACTs) during chemistry lessons at K7 level in Slovakia. In total 202 students participated in the research. They were divided randomly into a control (n=97) and an experimental (n=105) group, and the intervention covered 10 successive lessons. After the intervention, the student’s outcomes were compared using the test checking student’s knowledge and skills according to various domains of Bloom’s revised taxonomy. The results suggested a statistically significant increase in the score of the experimental group, and a detailed analysis revealed that the increase was significant in both lower- and higher-order cognitive skills area. Finally, the students’ reaction on the introduction of formative assessment was studied and showed their positive attitude towards the introduced method.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">36-49</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Uladzimir Slabin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vasili Krasitski</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FOR HUMANIZATION AND HISTORICISM: HOW WELL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS KNOW AND WHAT THEY THINK ABOUT CHEMICAL EPONYMS</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Baltic Science Education</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">chemical education</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">chemical eponym</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">historicism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">history of science</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">humanization</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">named reaction</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2017</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">April/2017</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2017/987-1497156596.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">16</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Continuous</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chemical eponyms possess important didactic and axiological potential that can be utilized for implementation of the principles of humanization and historicism manifested in national educational standards. This study focused on students’ knowledge and views of eponyms in the light of history of science. 22 general chemistry students of Belarusian State University, 131 students of general and 119 students of organic chemistry of University of Oregon, all different majors, were surveyed on their knowledge and views of eponyms using a 24-item online questionnaire. Mann-Whitney coefficients were calculated to establish significant differences and Pearson chi-square test was applied to find correlations. It was found that students’ knowledge and views of eponyms are defined mostly by major: students majoring in teaching chemistry showed higher knowledge and expressed more positive views of eponyms than those majoring in non-teaching, non-chemistry and especially non-science. Other factors include students’ learning experience and study intensiveness. While didactic potential of eponyms is utilized anyway, utilization of their axiological potential depends on instructor’s willingness and mastery and should not be exaggerated as vehicles for the principles of humanization and historicism.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">250-265</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sibel Erduran</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">BEYOND PHILOSOPHICAL CONFUSION: ESTABLISHING THE ROLE OF PHILOSOPHY OF CHEMISTRY IN CHEMICAL EDUCATION RESEARCH</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Baltic Science Education</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">chemical education</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">curriculum design</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">interdisciplinary studies of science</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">philosophy of chemistry</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">teacher education</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">March/2009</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2014/987-1404720394.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">8</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The paper outlines some perspectives from the relatively new field of philosophy of chemistry and explores the implications of these perspectives for chemical education research. The paper is theoretical in nature and uses the review of literature as a methodological approach to synthesise a research territory for the applications of philosophy of chemistry in chemical education. The discussion begins with contextualization of the status of philosophy of chemistry in chemical education in general. Subsequently, the potential contributions of philosophy of chemistry in chemical education research are outlined. The argument is presented that the clarification and elaboration of important philosophical themes such as relativism and positivism are only one aspect of how philosophy of chemistry relates to chemical education research. Other contributions include the insights philosophy of chemistry can offer about the epistemological, linguistic and ethical aspects of chemistry - themes that have profound implications for how teaching and learning of chemistry are structured at the level of the classroom as well as how teacher education and curriculum design can be improved.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5-14</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aira Bartuseviča</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dagnija Cēdere</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FORMATION OF A CONTEMPORARY TEACHING/LEARNING MODEL OF CHEMISTRY IN BASIC SCHOOL</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Baltic Science Education</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">basic school</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">chemical education</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">teaching/learning model</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2004</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">March/2003</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2016/987-1482419622.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A new contemporary teaching/learning model of chemistry in basic school in Latvia is proposed and discussed in the paper. Society’s needs, contemporary demands and sustainable development are driving forces of the model. A meaningful mode of chemical thinking, a careful and understanding attitude towards environmental processes, and skills and attitudes useful for practical life result from the application of the mentioned model. The model, together with accompanying didactical material – student’s laboratory workbook, teacher’s guide and students’ worksheets, was tested in several basic schools of Latvia.
Developed teaching/learning model of chemistry at basic school allows:

·        Introduction the student into the unified understanding of intellectual, natural, and material values.

·        Demonstration of the student-centered approach in the teaching process of chemistry as the most effective system of pedagogical method in Latvia at the present time.

·        Implementation qualitative changes in curriculum, proving the significance of applied chemistry and applied skills as useful for human’s practical life.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">49-57</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alexandra Bratennikova</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Elena Vasilevskaya</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">QUESTIONS OF CHEMICAL CONTENT IN THE INTEGRATED COURSES OF NATURAL SCIENCES</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of Baltic Science Education</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">chemical education</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">integrated courses</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">natural science education</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2002</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">October/2002</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2017/987-1504180965.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In formation of complete knowledge of nature and the person a big role belongs to studying of chemistry as the discussing subject according to its nature is primary integrated and its (her) maintenance (contents) is interconnected with that of physics and biology. Chemistry teaching in average educational institutions now is accomplished by studying obligatory independent rates as well as and by including of questions of chemical maintenance (contents) into the obligatory integrated rates of natural sciences (alongside with independent rates of chemistry by choice of pupils). The maintenance (contents) of a chemical component in the integrated rates of natural sciences taught in Japan, Canada, USA, the Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, France, Spain and Byelorussia is considered in the work. It is indicated that doubtless advantage of the integrated rates of natural sciences in general is the establishment of full interrelation between investigated natural-science subjects, and with reference to chemistry - formation of belief in necessity of chemical knowledge for the decision of many vital problems. Introduction of national standards and aspiration to equivalence of documents on the general education urgently demand definition in the different countries of uniform approaches to natural-science rates in high school, preparation of the scientific and pedagogical staff, to perfection of continuity school and high school natural-science education.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type></record></records></xml>
