1. INTRODUCTION

a) Chemistry is one of the basic natural sciences, and as such is included in the

curriculum of: elementary schools (2 years), secondary schools (4 years), and in many

professional schools (2 to 4 years). It provides the foundations for understanding the

processes in the living and non-living world on the molecular level, which is why it is

included with significant number of contact hours in the study of other natural

sciences such as biology, geology and mineralogy. Knowledge of chemistry is needed

for manufacturing almost everything that surrounds us and it is the main natural

science that has its industry. It is not necessary to stress the important role of educators

(teachers, professors) that enthusiastically, professionally and with thorough

knowledge of contemporary didactics, transfer that knowledge to new, young

generations. It cannot be forgotten both Croatian Nobel Laureates, L. Ružička and V.

Prelog were chemists and they both finished part of their elementary and secondary

education in chemistry at Osijek. Confirming the significance of the proper chemistry

education in the primary and secondary schools, and therefore the necessity of

excellent education for the teachers, we can quote the Nobel Laureate Prof. Vladimir

Prelog (the excerpt from the Nobel lecture):

“I have responded, as it is commonly said, that everybody needs a little bit of talent,

but is much more important to work hard. And beside this something else is needed in

order to be successful: luck, a lot of luck. Then they asked me what that luck is

composed of. I answered that first and foremost you have to have good teachers and than you need some more luck to get good collaborators.”

The subject-matter of the core courses as well as those that are elective is put together

based on the most contemporary scientific findings and provide the fundamental

knowledge that will assure the competitiveness of our students on the world market of

knowledge. At the same time, the scope and content of methodic-didactic subjects

ensures that graduated students will be able to successfully and by modern means

transfer their knowledge to elementary and high school students. Even though it

maybe true that it is favorable for teachers in elementary or small schools to have

double-subject degree (chemistry-biology or chemistry-physics), we are absolutely

sure that single subject degree has significant advantages for teachers in most of the

larger and all of the high schools (secondary schools, professional schools with

chemical or natural science programs). Moreover, it is expected that teachers with

single-subject degree will also serve as a leaders of professional sections as well as

advisers to the Ministry and the Institute for Schools.

Almost all the well-known universities around the Europe have the study programs for

chemistry teachers’ education (either in the form of single- or double-subject studies in

various combinations), even though the teachers’ education throughout the Europe is

more diverse from country to country than it is the case in basic science studies. These

programs are expensive because of the labs that often must have costly equipment and

chemicals. However, there are rare universities that don’t have natural sciences

programs including Chemistry. In our neighborhood the Chemistry study programs

can be found at the universities in Pecs, Trieste, Ljubljana, Graz, Innsbruck, Vienna,

Budapest, Novi Sad, Tuzla, Zagreb, Beograd, Sarajevo, Mostar etc.

b) Study of Chemistry at J.J. Strossmayer University was until now conducted at the

Faculty of Philosophy, formerly Faculty of Education, within the Biology-Chemistry

Program (from the beginning in 1978), and it was a continuation of the same program

that has been conducted at the former Academy of Education. After the Department of

Chemistry was founded (2005), and with the adaptation of adequate space for the

Department (together with the area for the Department within the Faculty of Food

Technology), all the prerequisites are met for establishing the Chemistry program.

The proposed program of study is adapted to conform the Bologna Declaration and

modernized in terms of instruction approach so that the higher efficacy of study and

compatibility with the chemistry programs in Europe could be achieved. We propose

the graduate (Master of Education) program in Chemistry for teachers that is

natural continuation of undergraduate (Bachelor) program in Chemistry

(proposed separately). We are also developing double-subject graduate programs

(Chemistry – Physics, Chemistry – Informatics) and we are definitely planning to

propose Master of Science program. This should be possible in few years, when

Department will be better equipped for such a demanding study.

c) The partners for the graduate program in Chemistry for teachers (Master of Education)

are elementary and secondary schools, but the potential partners are business

enterprises (chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry), public institutions and

diverse research institutions.

d) The proposed study program assures horizontal and vertical student mobility because

it is structured as a combination of obligatory and elective courses as it is in Europe

and fully in-line with similar programs in Croatia. The program is open for students of

related studies only with differential exams.

e) The study program in Chemistry for teachers is being realized with significant

collaboration of the Faculty of Natural Sciences in Zagreb, Ruđer Bošković Institute in

Zagreb, and in co-operation with the Institute for Public Health in Osijek, the

Department of Nuclear Medicine – Clinical Hospital in Osijek, Faculty of Food

Technology in Osijek and the Departments of Physics, Mathematics and Biology – J.J.

Strossmayer University in Osijek.

2.6. Graduate studies: at the undergraduate studies of Chemistry

students are acquiring knowledge following

CHEMISTRY GROUP DISCUSSION

DOCUMENT, (The Chemistry

“Eurobachelor”, Version 2.1), and this

knowledge and skills are being deepened and

extended at graduate studies through a

number of carefully chosen electives. These

core competencies are extended with courses in

didactics, psychology and pedagogy so that

students after graduation could be successful

in their teaching efforts. Through the classes in

methodics and practical work (labs and work

at schools), students are being presented with

contemporary teaching techniques and are

able to use them in practice.

Graduated students will be able to work in:

- elementary and high schools (secondary and

professional schools) as teachers

- various educational institutions with programs

in chemistry (for various purposes and

educational levels) as lecturers

- institutions of high(er) education and/or

scientific projects (depending on grade

average at undergraduate and graduate study)

as assistants or novices – continuation on

doctoral (postgraduate) studies is required

- in public and private institutions on specific

jobs (industry, institutes, research

departments, hospitals and health institutions,

public information media etc.)

Students that finish graduate studies will be eligible to enroll in postgraduate (doctoral) study

programs in the fields of natural sciences with possible differential exams if required. In the

field of Chemistry at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, The University of

Zagreb, and at the J.J. Strossmayer University in Osijek the university interdisciplinary

3.3. PROGRAM STRUCTURE

University Graduate Study Program of Chemistry – Teacher of Chemistry is structured

so that students extend and expand their competency in chemistry (acquired during

undergraduate studies) by taking a number of elective courses in the core field, and to prepare

themselves fully for responsible role of teacher in elementary and high schools by taking a

number of so called “PEPSI” courses (pedagogy, didactics, psychology) and especially a

number of “metodics” courses (teaching methods in chemistry with laboratory, Teaching

demonstrations and practice). After finishing this graduate program, it is expected that the

majority of students will find their employment in schools or other institutions (listed in 2.6.).

At the same time, students who decide to continue their education will be able to register in

postgraduate programs (doctorate studies) in the field of natural sciences at J.J. Strossmayer

University or in other related postgraduate programs in Croatia or other countries members of

Bologna Declaration (with potential differential exams). A detailed study program, given by

semesters and years follows. Total study load is 20 - 21 hours per week (lectures, seminars,

labs), and total number of ECTS credits is 30 per semester. Study concept (rhythm) is planned

to be in two semesters per year with the examination periods according to the Regulation of

Studies, J.J. Strossmayer University in Osijek. Exams will be taken individually in pre-

announced terms. Exceptionally, if some of the electives courses could be organized in so

called blocks to enhance the quality of teaching, the exams for those courses will be organized

immediately afterwards.

Student obligations are primarily: regular and conscientious attendance of lectures and

seminars, while within the labs, they are obliged to pass the entrance exams before doing the

separate exercises and to submit the report papers after exercise is finished. These are the

conditions for entering the final exams. The requirement for students to register in second

study year is to collect the minimum of 80% ECTS credits (80% of 60 = 48) from the first

year. Together with fulfilling their obligations (confirmed by teachers signature) and finishing

the required practical exercises in the labs, students will have to collect the minimum of 50%

ECTS credits (50% of 60 = 30) to have the right for repeating the year with possible

registering for some of the courses from the higher year. The prerequisites for the individual

courses are given within the item 3.2. (Contents of Courses).
