The 22nd Symposium on Chemistry and Science Education took place at the University of Bremen in June 2014. It continued a long tradition of similar symposia stretching back to 1981. In 2014, the symposium coincided the end of the United Nations worldwide Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) spanning from 2005-2014.
Already in the past, the Dortmund-Bremen-symposia on chemistry and science education focused the question of how science education research can help to improve chemistry and science teaching and learning, and also which are the objectives to be followed. This was also the case this time.
In recent years, debate on the challenge of the sustainable development of our future added another dimension towards this discussion. This additional focus and the coincidence with the end of the DESD provoked the organizers of the symposium to entitle the 2014 symposium: "Science Education Research and Education for Sustainable Development".
This book presents a set of invited contributions from the symposium and offers reflections on the presentations and discussions.
