Research and Practice in Chemistry Education: Advances from the 25th Iupac International Conference on Chemistry Education 2018
暫譯: 化學教育的研究與實踐：2018年第25屆國際化學教育會議的進展

本書匯集了十五篇來自2018年於悉尼舉行的第25屆IUPAC國際化學教育會議的報告。這些報告由一群在不同國家和機構背景下工作的化學教育者撰寫，他們的共同目標是改善學生的學習。本書展示了化學教育前沿的多個研究面向，提供了學習理論在化學中的應用以及實施教學策略的實踐經驗的見解。各章節根據主題進行排列，包括新穎的教學法、動態的教學環境、新的評估方法和專業技能——這些主題對科學教育界當前具有重要的關注。

本書提供了當代實踐的概述，有助於改善學生的學習成果。許多提出的教學策略可轉移至其他學科，對全球高等教育的化學教育者以及中學STEM教育和其他學科的讀者都具有很大的興趣。

Madeleine Schultz has completed significant projects in chemistry education that have generated important practical outcomes for tertiary teachers and have had a direct impact on the teaching practices of many Australian chemistry academics. She founded the Chemistry Discipline Network, an active community of practice of chemistry educators in Australia. Her recent work characterises the practices of expert teachers and collated teaching strategies to accelerate the development of novice tertiary chemistry teachers. In 2017 she was awarded a Citation from the Chemistry Education Division of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. She moved to Deakin University in 2018.
Siegbert Schmid's research interests at the University of Sydney's School of Chemistry lie in the synthesis and structural characterisation of aperiodic and other materials with potential technological applications. At the same time, he supports a chemistry education research group, supervising both PhD and honours students. The focus of his education research is improving current teaching and assessment practices to demonstrate learning outcomes for tertiary level students. He was awarded the Chemistry Education Division of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute Commemorative Medal in 2016.
Gwen Lawrie is an Associate Professor at the School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences (SCMB) at the University of Queensland (UQ). Successfully translating from a bench chemistry research career to chemistry education research in 2006, her projects address the diversity and engagement of students through blended learning environments, collaborative inquiry tasks; and mechanisms for provision of formative feedback to support self-regulated learning in online environments. She is the recipient of a 2013 Australian Teaching Excellence Award and, in her role as Director of First Year Chemistry Curriculum & Assessment, led the teaching team to a 2017 National Award for Programs that Enhance Learning.

馬德琳·舒茲（Madeleine Schultz）在化學教育方面完成了重要的專案，為高等教育教師產生了重要的實際成果，並對許多澳大利亞化學學者的教學實踐產生了直接影響。她創立了化學學科網絡（Chemistry Discipline Network），這是一個活躍的澳大利亞化學教育者社群。她最近的工作特徵化了專家教師的實踐，並彙編了教學策略，以加速新手高等化學教師的發展。2017年，她獲得了澳大利亞皇家化學學會化學教育部門的表彰獎（Citation）。她於2018年轉至迪肯大學（Deakin University）。

西格伯特·施密德（Siegbert Schmid）在悉尼大學（University of Sydney）化學學院的研究興趣集中於合成和結構表徵具有潛在技術應用的非周期性及其他材料。同時，他支持一個化學教育研究小組，指導博士生和榮譽生。他的教育研究重點在於改善當前的教學和評估實踐，以展示高等教育學生的學習成果。他於2016年獲得了澳大利亞皇家化學學會化學教育部門的紀念獎章（Commemorative Medal）。

關·勞瑞（Gwen Lawrie）是昆士蘭大學（University of Queensland, UQ）化學與分子生物科學學院（School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences, SCMB）的副教授。她於2006年成功地從實驗室化學研究轉向化學教育研究，她的專案通過混合學習環境、協作探究任務以及提供形成性反饋的機制來解決學生的多樣性和參與度，以支持在線環境中的自我調節學習。她是2013年澳大利亞教學卓越獎的獲得者，並在擔任第一年化學課程與評估主任的角色中，帶領教學團隊獲得了2017年增進學習的全國獎項。
