Understanding chemistry: Hands-on experience, not just observation
21 Oct 2024
In Professor Silvija Markic's LMUchemlab, pupils can experience chemistry in an inclusive environment on their own terms.
Professor Silvija Markic conducts research into linguistic heterogeneity and cultural diversity in chemistry lessons as well as the learning and teaching of technical languages at school and university. Together with her doctoral students, such as Jannis Memmen, she supervises the LMUchemlab, the Chemistry Department's learning laboratory. Here, students can experiment independently in a supervised environment - without time pressure and adapted to their individual learning needs.
The LMUchemlab has the concept that we want to reach all students. Regardless of their language skills, cultural background or socio-economic status.Sylvija Markic, Professor for the didactics of chemistry
