The Problem of Selecting Chemistry Teaching at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics

Summary/Abstract: The teaching call by its very nature establishes two basic life principles, sublimated in two words: good and knowledge. These are fundamental values that should be nurtured by every educational system, which is the foundation of the success of any society. In the BH education systems knopweldge is virtually marginalized, which reflects in the choice of teaching as the future bread earning profession among younger gemerations. in recent years Decreased number of students who remain at the Department for Studies of Chemistry Teaching at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and MAthematics, University of Sarajevo is evident the Faculty of Science University of Sarajevo. This confirms the fact that only three students are currently enrolled in the third and fourth year of Department for Studies of Chemistry Teaching. This student trend of gradual quitting the Department for Teaching Chemistry is present for a long time. For five years of the Bologna Study Model implementing no a single full-time student has not been promoted yet as a future teaching staff in the area of chemistry. This was an occasionfor exploring the possible causes of such extremely low interest in the teachers' profession. The initiative was launched by the Group for Researchiung the Chemistry and Physics Teaching, which operates at the Faculty of NAtural Sciences and Mathematics, University of Sarajevo, in order to investigate the crisis of selecting a teacher call as profession. The first results of this initial research among the students are acquried. We are certain that the complexity of this phenomenon should be made a subject of institutional research, and in this way the results obtained confirm the existence of crisis in case of selecting the chemistry teaching as professional call. This paper presents statistical indicators, having presented some of the attitudes of individuals who, after the first and second year students in about 90% of cases are changing the direction of studies from the chemistry teaching to general, as well as the vision of possible solutions to this crisis regarding the choice of chemistry teaching studies.
