About Chemical Education

The Chemical Education program at SDSU is committed to improving how chemistry is taught, learned, and applied. Research in this area focuses on the science of teaching itself, addressing motivation, instructional strategies, and learning environments. Faculty investigate how students engage with complex concepts, develop problem-solving skills, and apply critical thinking in laboratory and classroom settings. By creating evidence-based practices, this program ensures that future chemists and educators are prepared with both deep subject knowledge and effective methods to share it, making chemistry more accessible and impactful for diverse learners.
