The aim of this working group is to promote and strengthen experimental teaching.
At the inaugural meeting, suggestions were put forward regarding the following key areas of focus:

1. The importance and significance of experimental teaching in chemistry for the successful development of key competences (subject knowledge – knowledge acquisition – communication – evaluation).
2. The contribution of problem-oriented and experiment-based chemical education to the development of general, rational judgement.
3. Presentation of different approaches in university teacher training programmes for teaching experimental competence/ opportunities for optimisation and harmonisation.
4. Compilation of a catalogue for assessing potential hazards when conducting school experiments.
