NEW T-CEL Workshop
November 2023
We are pleased to announce a new workshop on the use of AI tools in scientific writing:
Technological progress and, in particular, the latest developments in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) are influencing science and scientific work. In this workshop, we would like to discuss the possibilities and limits of AI in the context of scientific work and explore them ourselves using examples. Using selected tools, we will work together to determine whether and how AI tools can be effectively and responsibly integrated into scientific work and scientific writing.
The workshop is aimed at interested science students and will take place in person. Please register by email to Prof. Tiemann by 13. 12.
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Ines Sonnesschein
Date: 18.12
Time: 10:30 to 15:00
Location: Zum Großen Windkanal 6 D-12489 Berlin
RESearch
Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Tiemann
Head of the Chemistry Education Lab
The research program of the Tiemann Chemistry Education Lab has a strong commitment to knowledge acquisition by problem solving. In quantitative studies with technology based tools the focus is on describing, assessing and supporting the fundamental mechanisms behind this process.
"We only think when we are confronted with problems."
(John Dewey)
Combined with the use of experiments and the use of mental models to understand core concepts of Chemistry, the research program empowers the Tiemann Chemistry Education Lab, theory-driven and empirically, to investigate students' thinking individually or in classrooms. Alumni group members serve as Professors, for Science Outreach Organizations or as Chemistry Teachers.
ACADEMICS
Bachelor
The Chemistry Education Lab at Humboldt-University serves more than 100 students at K-12 (Sekundarstufe) and primary level (Primarstufe) each year through a diverse portfolio of theoretical background knowledge and first practical learning experiences.
