There have been very few initiatives to promote the development of teachers pedagogical content knowledge in this area. It seems that the outcomes of the current research on teachers (and students ) views and uses of models and modelling in chemical education, as well as the consideration of the role of models and modelling in the development of specific chemical knowledge, may lead to interesting proposals for curriculum development.

Prof. Dr. Carmen Fernandez used to be a chemistry teacher, working for different secondary schools, before becoming an assistant professor of chemistry education at the University of Sao Paulo (Brazil). Her research interests include chemistry teacher education both pre- and in-service, teachers knowledge, pedagogical content knowledge and professional development.
