(1)Development of a model-core-curriculum for chemistry education at a science teacher training courseA model-core-curriculum of basic chemistry education at a science teacher training course has been proposed. On the basis of the model-core-curriculum, contents and teaching plan for some selected classes of lectures, laboratories and seminars were drawn, together with the target of achievement for the respective classes.(2)Development of teaching materials for the basic chemistry education at universitiesBy thinking a great deal of "chemistry and society", teaching materials for environmental education and energy education have been developed. Especially, several teaching materials from a view point of green chemistry were developed.(3)Practice of basic chemistry education at a science teacher training courseAn attempt to introduce simple chemistry experiments and demonstrations into lecture has been practiced at selected lectures for a science teacher training course. On the basis of questionnaires for the students and examinations to evaluate level of achievement, effectiveness of such teaching style was evaluated. By developing a Web page for students' private study concerning the respective lectures practiced in the present research, it was attempted to increase the chance of preparation and review for the respective classes. The Web page also includes a self-evaluation system of the level of achievement by students themselves.
