ROChET - Research in Organic Chemistry Education and Teaching - Network

当前的社会和生态挑战，如气候变化、能源供应和电动汽车，没有化学就无法解决。特别是对于德国这样一个研究密集型国家和重要的工业中心来说，培养化学家应对未来挑战并使他们能够针对当前和未来的问题开发创新解决方案至关重要。然而，德国在支持大学生化学学习和化学讲师专业化以提高教学质量方面的实质性研究工作相对较少。ROChET -网络旨在构建和系统化大学一级有机化学教育和教学的研究工作，重点关注必要的循证实践，以加强教学质量，并通过联合研究和转让项目促进教学质量。重点放在有机化学上，因为这可以提供一个明确的学科特定的透镜，但也允许系统的重点（例如标准课程的类型和结构，利益相关者），这可以示范性地转移到大学的化学和其他自然科学的其他领域。在该网络中，将汇编和具体化特定学科的教学挑战和特定学科的能力，为未来的研究项目提供教学概念框架。在讨论未来的教学挑战时，该网络旨在强调更加个性化和跨学科教学的方法，以使未来的化学家具备必要的能力。最后，这将导致在有机化学讲师的专业发展的讨论。该网络的成员是来自化学教育领域的博士生、博士后和教授以及有机化学专家。网络结果将发表在化学教育期刊，编辑卷，数字，国际会议，并通过科学传播渠道，以启动有关大学教学的更广泛的交流，并将为未来的DFG研究提案提供信息。这一举措将联系和总结以前单一的研究链的内容和方法，国家和国际，并跨越地点。这些目标概括为四个主题领域：1。有机化学特定挑战的系统化，2。3.支持与主题相关的能力。为更可持续的未来教和学有机化学的方法，和4。讲师的专业发展。

Current societal and ecological challenges, such as climate change, energy supply and e-mobility, cannot be solved without chemistry. Especially for Germany, a research-intense country, and an important industrial hub, it is essential to train chemists for future challenges and to enable them to develop innovative solutions to current and future problems. However, there is comparatively little substantial research efforts in Germany regarding the support of students at the university level in chemistry learning and in the professionalization of chemistry lecturers to enhance the quality of teaching. The ROChET - Network aims at structuring and systematizing research efforts in organic chemistry education and teaching at the university level to focus on the necessary evidence-based practices to strengthen the quality of teaching and to promote it through joint research and transfer projects. A focus is placed on organic chemistry, as this can provide a clear subject-specific lens but also allows a systemic focus (e.g. type and structure of standard courses, stakeholders), which can be exemplarily transferred to other areas of chemistry and other natural sciences at universities. In the network, subject-specific challenges of teaching and subject-specific competencies will be compiled and concretized to derive a didactic-conceptual framework for future research projects. In discussing the future challenges of teaching, the network aims at highlighting ways for more individualized and interdisciplinary teaching to equip future chemists with the necessary competencies. Finally, this will lead to a discussion about the professional development of lecturers in organic chemistry. The network members are PhD students, PostDocs and professors from the chemistry education field and organic chemistry experts. The network results will be published in chemistry education journals, an edited volume, a digital, international conference, and via science communication channels to initiate a broader exchange about teaching in universities and will inform future DFG research proposals. This initiative will link and summarize previously singular research strands in content and methodology, nationally and internationally, and across locations. These objectives are summarized in four topic areas: 1. systematization of organic-chemistry-specific challenges, 2. support of subject-related competencies, 3. approaches of teaching and learning organic chemistry for a more sustainable future, and 4. the professional development of lecturers.
