Features: Chemical Subject Pedagogy is a part of the Grand Series of Subject Pedagogy, which belongs to the second level. The first level is Introduction to Subject Pedagogy, the second level is the pedagogy of each subject, and the third level is specialized research on subject education. According to this division and definition, Chemical Subject Pedagogy should cover the main framework and key content of chemical subject pedagogy, focusing on an introductory overview of chemical education and teaching. Issues common to subject pedagogy and specialized topics requiring in-depth discussion in chemical education belong to the other two levels. Chemical Subject Pedagogy is guided by the "Three Faces of Education" (facing the world, facing the future, and facing the masses), based on theories of pedagogy and psychology, emphasizing the future needs of chemical education, aiming to cultivate new types of talents, while also prioritizing the popularization of chemistry to help the public understand it. The content related to general pedagogy, teaching theory, and teaching methods should be closely integrated with chemical education and teaching, reflecting the characteristics of the chemical subject. Chemical Subject Pedagogy can serve as a textbook for postgraduate students majoring in chemical curriculum and teaching theory, for advanced training of chemistry teachers, and as an elective for chemistry students in normal universities. It can also be used as a reference for chemistry education researchers and those interested in chemical education.
