AI and modern chemistry teaching - Doctoral student with own contributions at two conferences
With the annual conference of the Gesellschaft für Didaktik der Chemie und Physik (GDCP) and the advanced training and lecture conference of the Fachgruppe Chemieunterricht (FGCU), doctoral student Jannik Amon (subproject G3) represented the Boysen-TU Dresden-Research Training Group at two important conferences in his discipline.
GDCP Annual Conference 2025 - AI in science education
The 51st annual conference of the GDCP took place from September 8 to 11, 2025 at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main. With participants from all over Germany and prominent international guests for the keynotes, the conference delivered what it promised: a diverse insight into and discussions about current research findings in the didactics of chemistry and physics as well as networking opportunities for the participating researchers.

Jannik Amon also presented his research project in the form of a poster and led a lively and constructive discussion with all interested parties. The research project introduces systems competence as an important aspect of education for sustainable development (ESD) and explains the theoretical foundations and tests developed to measure systems competence by way of example. A special feature is the promotion of systems competence in a targeted manner through interventions in the form of teaching-learning concepts on the topic of the hydrogen economy.
FGCU training and lecture conference - Modern chemistry teaching in the context of global transformation

Just one week later, from 17.09. to 19.09.25, the 41st FGCU training and lecture conference took place in Erlangen. This conference is particularly characterized by its practical relevance, e.g. through integrated experimental lectures and workshops. A wide range of experiments were also presented for students on the topic of hydrogen, which provided exciting inspiration for doctoral student Jannik Amon.
In his presentation at the conference, Jannik Amon presented the didactic concept of his project learning concept "Hydrogen - the key to the energy transition?". In this project, students in grades 9 to 12 critically examine the various possibilities of hydrogen as an energy source and create their own vision for a future hydrogen economy in Germany. The lively discussion that followed not only provided an opportunity to discuss exciting ideas for expanding the concept, but also to establish contacts for more in-depth collaboration.
