  1. Chemistry education in Norway • In general science and chemistry courses

  2. A part of two subjects • about one third of general science up to grade 11 • Chemistry courses at grades 12-13.

  3. Chemistry as a part of general science: • Theoretically one third of the subject • Only some topics are dealt with • The curriculum does not include all necessary basic knowledge • Teacher and text-book dependent

  4. (Inter)national report • Chemistry at the 10th grade • Knowledge and learning ambitions for youths in six countries

  5. Chemistry in general science • The Norwegian science curriculum compared to other countries curricula • Scores from 1-5 in each topic • Chemistry topics: Norway scores 2,8 compared with Denmark (2,7), Sweden(), Finland(3,1), Scotland(1,9) and New Zealand(3,2)

  6. The report’s conclusion: • The norwegian curricula do not differ much from what you find in other countries. In general, authorities are ambiguous on behalf of their students

  7. Chemistry in grade 12 • Starts «from the beginning» • Basic knowledge • 5 hours a week, and not too many topics • Oral and partially practical, locally made exam

  8. Chemistry in grade 13 • builds upon grade 12 • Busy • 5 hours a week, • National, written exam

  9. Changes in curriculum • Towards more biochemistry • More theory connected to instrumental analysis

  10. Who, and how many? • Mandatory to get access to medical school, dental and veterinary study • About 7000 students in grade 12, reduced to about 4500 in grade 13 • 57% of the students in grade 13 are girls
