Chemical Education Research

Chemical Education Research (CER) is the study of how people learn and teach chemistry. It explores effective teaching methods, learning materials, and assessment techniques to improve understanding of chemical concepts. CER combines insights from chemistry, education, psychology, and cognition to develop evidence-based strategies that make learning chemistry more engaging and accessible. Its goal is to enhance students’ comprehension, foster critical thinking, and support diverse learners, ultimately advancing science education practices and promoting informed, scientifically literate individuals.
