CHEMISTRY PRACTICES AIMED AT NON-UNIVERSITY LEVELS OF EDUCATION

One of the challenges at the forefront of science education is the progressive loss of student interest in subjects that are studying, for what a return to the experimental origins can have a positive influence in the spread of the studies of chemistry. In order to increase the number of enrolled students, the Faculty of Sciences at Burgos University has carried out some strategies. Teaching Innovation Group at UBU "Inquior" has developed a series of activities aimed at the training of the teaching staff of non-University levels of education and at the divulgation of Chemistry in different education levels. We have participated in various courses and related events such as "The Magic of Chemistry", divulgation Workshops for Primary School Teachers and seminars for Secondary Education Teachers, Vocational Training Teachers and UBU Graduates. In the evaluation of these courses, teachers indicated a high degree of satisfaction, and they found these activities very useful for the development of their teaching.
