| Description | We have created and administrated a skill test based on skill structure corresponding to IBSE requirements. At the same time we used a questionnaire to find out the teachers opinions about new approach to the teaching of chemistry. The results we obtained led us to the conclusion that the main problem in introducing new teaching methods is the lack of suitable educational materials and insufficient teacher preparation for this type of education. |
